Has anyone tried bluebird?
 

Has anyone tried using bluebird for verifying PayPal? Looks pretty interesting. It's a new service provided by American Express and Walmart. Gives you an account and a debit card. Just wondering if it will work with mismatching names to verify.

Here's a link to their site: www.bluebird.com.

I might give it a shot and see....

i have linked it to one of my stealth accounts and i am still waiting to get the 2 payments paypal places to verify your account. Will keep you posted

it's like entropay, but American Express instead of Visa ?

I have tried it and the 2 deposits went through. I have not made any deposits on it but the trial deposits did go through.

time to do a small trial deposit, also note that some banks will allow an initial deposit they may block the account if you try a 2nd deposit.

Good Luck Yotano, hopefully it works.

You can create 4 sub accounts

Can you elaborate more on this? so one account have 4 subs meaning each one will have their own account number = 4 stealth pp account? Thanks.

Yeah that's what I get from what their website says anyways! Sounds like its perfect for what we need!

From what I could gather having had a quick peruse.

It's an online bank account and you can also get a debit card associated with it.

People are in the process of seeing if it'll work for what we need. Lets hope it does!

Cool I just sign up, now to wait a few days before they send my the info.

Is there any mention of needing ID?

Just all Online Debit Cards that offer Bank & Routing will require Real Name, Real Address, Real SSN. You can't ⊗⊗⊗⊗ any of the info...it has to be real.

Ah, no workaround for those outside US then.

Nope, sorry mate.

Check out the iPhone and android apps guys. iPhone app is pretty sicccck.

I hate to burst your bubble but those sub accounts do not come with routing or new account numbers. You can make the sub accounts in any name you want but dont come with the 2 needed info.

In theory you can use those 4 sub accounts to verify the credit card part for paypal but I am not sure how paypal is going to verify the address on the sub accounts. I think you can input any address for the sub accounts, you can put a PO Box, the card comes to the PO box but I am still not sure if paypal will go with that address on the card of the sub account. I already received a sub account debit card. I put what ever name I wanted. I have not verified that sub account card with any paypal cuz I had it ship to my real address.

The sub account is like a daughter account, the parent account is the one you start with. The parent account controls all of the sub accounts, spending limit, load limit, etc. etc.

What Apps?

Sorry had a typo...meant to say app. The Bluebird app is prettily slick.

Can you create more than 1 'parent' account?

I dont know, you might. I only signed up cuz it has no monthly fees. I wont be using it for a long time. I already have enough real bank accounts for now.

just checked my account and the 2 payments paypal places to verify your account went through and now my account is verified!!!

Just withdrawed some money to the bluebird account, ill keep you guys posted on that! very excited
