Any ideas on UK person setting up US bank account for CCNOW?

Okay, I really think I need to start using ccnow, as ebayhateluv has had such great success with it. I emailed them, and they said they can only withdraw to a bank account that uses the routing number system.

Do you think it's wise that I setup a US bank account? And, if I did, would it be easy? It's something I've never really looked into.

Have you tried INGDirect? You might want to find out if you could transfer to from ING to your real account.

Hmm, I'l have to ask them. I've decided against setting up a US bank account though, as I've read up online it can be a long process.

it can be a long process but its a process im extremely interested in mant. the alternative is an international banking account with a UK bank, where they hold currency in US currency - (is that excluded by the routing number thing though)?

"Orange Savings cannot be used for business, power of attorney, beneficiary or individual retirement accounts."

... that would exclude our types of activities...
