Which bank accounts are safe?
 

Hey guys, i just figured if we could compile a list of safe bank accounts that allow a different name that'd be great. I personally need to know if Wells Fargo is ok, do you guys know?

Yes, they are. And this subject is discussed weekly. Use the search function to find.

Yeah man, search the forum and check the most recent posts, PM a few US members :p

It's just as quick to answer the guys question as to tell him to search.....

I don't mind answering when people ask nicely.

No, do not use wells fargo.

The stealth guide gives a great list of banks that work.

why can't you use wells fargo? its in the subscribed section as a verified working bank

In my experiences, they are not the bank to go with. It may work, but many users have reported it to NOT work, including me, so I believe it is not a bank to go with.

Have you used wells fargo? It's great that it is reported some where to work, but I don't believe something just because it is written down.

Bank of america works quite well
and....

ING Direct
hsbc
chase
suntrust
most local credit unions
US bank

Wells fargo just sucks, in my opinion. Many other banks to choose from where NO ONE will question whether or not it will work for stealth.

Despite many member's testaments to the contrary, I have used ING with great success.

I too have used ING with great success. There are stipulations, but it is awesome!

@first edition
Can you share some experiences why you say wells fargo sucks?

I been using WELLS FARGO accts for about 10 months on 6 different paypal accounts and never had any problems. Super fast PP transfers are in my bank the next day.

It's been many years since I've used them. If you're having success, go with it. I tend to spread my accounts over many institutions. If wells fargo decides one day to end the banking relationship (which they can and often do) you're stuck with opening up 6 new accounts some where before paypal finds out the bank accounts are closed and putting you at risk of limitation.
