Thanks | It's getting harder to open accounts. I just spent over an hour opening a joint account with my daughter in our local bank....my way of dealing with the Ebay/Paypal name thing.
I thought I had hit the jackpot yesterday when Presidents Choice Mastercard offered me an online bank account ( I have their credit card)
However, when I called they told me I still had to visit their Pavillion at a local shop and bring my ID with me.
They do link with Paypal though and thats good as the Ing a/c I have does not.
SIN is necessary at all Cdn banks. If you are Canadain and open an account in the USA, which I have done too, you need Passport, Drivers L. and even Hydro Bills with your mailing address....after all that, they still will not let me link to their on line banking as I don't have a US Soc. Ins #....and so it goes
