Online Banks

[mtgordon]

I've seen people discuss new rates at different sites (ING, EmigrantDirect, and some other site) but I still have some questions. Is there a consensus on which site is the best or are they all the same?

Do you link the account to both your Neteller account and a local bank account so that you can access the money easier? Currently I have Neteller linked to my local bank account to make withdraws, so I'd like to switch my Neteller account so it's linked to the online bank (possible?) and then also link the online bank with the local bank.

Is there anything else that I should take into consideration before I sign up for one of these online bank accounts? I'm just trying to make sure I know what I'm doing before I sign up somewhere.

Thanks
