Bank Accounts
 

Ive been searching the site and cant find any info on which bank accounts people are using and work well with stealth names. I thought at one point there was a thread but I cant find it. Im looking to switch banks just because I dont want to keep opening account after account with them and looks supicious so i am trying to find another bank that works. Which banks are you all using these days that havent had any problems.

I'd stay away from ING . I think there's one more bank that's not good, but I'm not sure which one.

Yeah ING sucks for stealth accounts. I know HSBC and BOA are great. I just got asked by the lady at HSBC why i was closing so many accounts haha. So im going to lay off those 2 for a bit and I want to know some other alternatives.

get netspend prepaid..

How fast are you burning through ebay and Paypal accounts?

WaMu offers unlimited checking accounts.

The first and last name have to match now with netspend. Count them out for stealth.

WaMu
 

Except WaMu doesn't exist. I would go with HSBC, you can open them online (how ever many you want). But I have now stated using Ally too, I have 6 accounts with them. Great for PP

Double checking, HSBC is ok with stealth names?

Yes
 

Yes, HSBC works with stealth information. They are a pretty cool bank, I been using them with PP for years, you can open accounts online and they are ready within a few hours.

they don't send you paper work to sign and send back to them?
Like , what do you have to provide them?

What's the deposit amount needed to open with HSBC? I know it's $25 with BOA.

$1
 

-The minimum to open an account is $1

-It was years ago when I opened my first account. I assume I had to fill out a signature card and mail it back, I don't remember.

With Ally bank, I had to fill out a signature card for sure (this was more recent, thats why I remember)

I wouldn't go with BOA, yes it is convenient to have so many branches but their fees are CRAZY HIGH. Also if you are making real money on eBay, BOA offers like 0.10% interest whereas Ally and HSBC are over 1% at least.

I miss the days of 7% CDs and 5% savings circa early 2000s

ALLY bank is not good for stealth accounts, I just open 1 Ally bank checking account, and because I receive a few payments and made one payment with a PayPal account ( for ebay selling and paying ebay fees) that was different from the name on the Ally bank. They block me from my account (meaning I can't access it online or use my debit card).

Chase, CitiBank, TD, Bank Of America, Emigrant, Soverign, ALL Good for Stealth, There are MANY MORE, and there IS a Thread on this Forum With an Entire Constantly Updated List maintained by Aspkin Here

I use different Ally for SEVERAL stealth accounts, I don't know why apple6 had problems with them.

Also slappped, I don't think Emigrant Direct (Dollar Savings Direct) works anymore. I had an account with DSD and they returned my PP deposits. I would assume actual Emigrant would do this too since they are the same company.

GB this thread should be closed if there is already a thread about this.:D

There is this HUGE thread of all the banks accounts that can be used with Paypal. I can't seem to find it anywhere though. Where did it go? Was it deleted or something?

As for the topic on hand I use Wells Fargo, Bank of America and I hear really good things from Suntrust.

I Opened an Emigrant Checking Account about 8 months Ago,,,,All is Well,,,,there must be a Difference Between them and Dollar Savings Direct Accounts,,,Or They might have implemented Some Changes Recently,,,

I had 10 allys once.this black chick called me saying how weird I have so many accounts... 1 week later she called again and gave me attitude.i said I want to talk to a manager..she saif no... We are closing all accounts.i insisted...for someone higher up..more attitude.finally she got a dude on the line..he says I must open business accounts and all l current accounts were being closed.i said fine.deposit remaining funds into my external bank...he agreed... The first time she called she had said.i needed $10 at all times in the account... So I would just keep them all at $10....she asked the 2nd time she called if I was trying to be a smart azz about leaving just $10 in each..i said no....you told me I had too...wachovia and chase get deposits fast

I have an ally account , I loaded it by paypal , but how do I withdraw funds from it ?

If you Inputted your Banks information Correctly into Paypal and Verified the account Correctly all you need to do is Click on the "Withdraw" Button found towards the top of the "My Account" Page and from the Sub Menu select the "Bank Account" Option,,,then Follow the rest of the Prompts,,,,,

when you verifed your paypal using Ally, did you use instant or the 2-3 day deposit method?

missbosslady, it really doesn't matter! you can use ING just use a name variation, slight miss spealling

what I still don't understand is what good is the stealth program if your not able to open a new bank account. I have one checking account that I have had for many years, but when I go and try to open a new one it says I'm in check systems so now what

@missi, as we dont know why you are in the check systems, how can you get an answer?

even if you're in checksystems, you can open bank accounts.... is it possible.

Excuses are plenty when you try to think of reasons to fail

Go to Walmart and get a money card, it comes with a "bank account" you get a bank account number and routing number, they don't check chexsystems either.

I have just signed up for my first ally account and am still waiting for the card. seems they have raised quite a few security flags because i sent my initial transfer from vietnam.

but you are saying transferring out to stealth pp is working well to ally accounts? this is good news indeed.

makes no sense what you went through. they specifically told me they do not open business accounts. so in order to keep your business they have to allow u to open multiple personal accounts.

It is a bank account... you just get the debit card up front.

It's been said many times by many forum members, and many times again on this thread, that the wal mart money card is just not a good idea, for stealth purposes.

There is nothing wrong with ALLY, Apple probably had a problem with them because he made a payment from his bank account, that is a no no. Only receive payments with stealth accounts.

how to cash ally account
 

I have some money in my ally bank account but I don`t have a debit card .
how do I withdraw these money since I am not in US ?

do we open an accout from our bank account to say HSBC then open accounts from that account. I am not sure ? HOw do you fund the account if you don't use your bank account..sorry confused?

you add your bank account to ally so that you can transfer your ally funds

Ally is good with multiple stealth names, and opening a number of bank accounts with. I have 10 so far as of today, they did call me asking some questions after I opened 3 but just be nice with them (they're human also). Just don't overdraw them!! That makes you look like I told them I have multiple online streams of income and keep my expenses separated. She said that was find but to fax in my drivers license so there is no flag later on.

If using so many accounts is an issue, just purchase a VBA from a forum member here to verify paypal, then buy one of your items from one of your ebay accounts that has a paypal w/ a good bank attached that you can withdraw, but don't do this often, and don't send money directly between accounts without using ebay as a intermediary, I got two of mine linked that way and when one went down the other did also about a month ago.

The stealth system has nothing to do with whether or not your are in checksystems. You being in checksystems is a very different issue. This means that there is a bank or banks out there that has reported an unresolved negative balance or bounced checks.

Hope that helps!
