Default where do you keep large online bankrolls?

what are the most secure places to keep money online, and immediately accessible (to poker accounts, etc., not as cash)?

i'm a canuck so i can't keep my poker roll in a bank account accessible to neteller, since i don't want to incur the exchange rate charges.

how reliable is neteller? how do i know they're not going to go bankrupt? what will happen if they do?

how reliable are the party skins? is money in the accounts "guaranteed" by the party network, or are the skins individually responsible? i trust that party won't go bankrupt anytime soon, but i'm not 100% confident about some of the skins.

any insights and recommendations would be appreciated.

NETeller is a publicly traded company, with an office in Calgary. Give them a ring and maybe they'll take you on a tour.

- WSEX (World Sports Exchange / World Poker Exchange)
- Pinnacle Sports
- Pokerstars
- Olympic Sports

and you'll sleep like a baby...

they all connect to iglobalmedia's servers. if one of the skins died surely its assets woudl be transferred to another skin. i don't worry about my money on poker sites and i keep a decent amount on there.

I keep my extra extra bankroll in an ing savings account. It's about 2-3 days to my bank, 2-3 days to neteller. So liquid to a poker site in 4-6 days. Meanwhile it earns interest.

You might want to see if your bank will let you have a US dollar savings account. I know Toronto Dominion does these.
