BB&T Money Access as Bank Account?

[EWHendo]

I know that prepaid cards like Green Dot no longer work to verify a bank account. Do ones issue by actual banks, like the BB&T Money Access or PNC SmartAccess cards work to verify a stealth account?

Why bother with these cards when there's better options such as VBA's....

Bank issued prepaids have worked for me in the past.

I personally like them, but I'm definitely in the minority about that. Look for low/no fees.

If you try it please report back, I'm curious if it works out well for you too.

So your going to all that trouble to open a Bank Prepaid Account just to use it to Verify a PayPal? Just seems backwards....

They take PP deposits, too, they're just a bank account with no physical branches, and you just use them like a regular card.

I don't see why buying a $10 VBA from the Forum isn't a faster method....considering you don't have to sign up for anything or give your SSN out.....Just a waste of time/effort using these types of accounts to verify a PayPal.
