Anyone tried this bank?
 

You probably remember I opened a thread few days ago where I asked is it possible to link friend's bank account.

I just asked my friend and he told me he has a bank account in Members 1st. I never heard of this company and I'm not sure is it even a bank, since google search says it's Federal Credit Union.

Did someone tried to link account from there to paypal and if someone did, do they allow mismatched names? I tried to search, but I didn't have luck due to the word "members".

Re: Anyone tried this bank?
 

Credit unions have been in general good for stealth.
I am not familiar with Members 1st and can not confirm.

Thanks. Reason why I ask, like I said in my previous thread, is because I only have this one account, so I don't want to risk it by trying without asking.

If they decline it for whatever reason, will it be a problem to add a new bank account for example from BoA and to withdraw the funds that way? I mean paypal doesn't force users to "fix" the issue with the first bank account?

No issues adding another bank once one "bumps"

Why not add BoA to this account (to be safe) and use the Members 1st account on a NEW STEALTH PP and see? Could lead to good things :)

That was actually my plan from the beginning, to add BoA account, but my friend told me he already has the account in Members 1st, so I thought not to bother him to open a new account if this one works.

I might try it with a new stealth account like you suggested, but I honestly hate both ebay and paypal, so I'm trying to minimize the use of both, unfortunately, that's impossible due to ebay market which is the only place where I sell.

But if you are selling on the market...you DO need more than 1 account as backup

Well, basically, I'm more an occasional seller with 3-4 auction per month who do this for an additional income, but I agree, I will get a new one soon.
