Free Checking Accounts?

#1 09-14-2005, 04:05 PM

Thinkin about opening up a checking account solely for Poker. Does anyone know of any good banks that offer free checking? I am currently using Citibank as my primary.

Also, does anyone have an account with a bank that lets you deposit at a poker site using your MC/Vias debit card? I know most large US institutions don't allow this, but are they some that do?

Thanks.

I currently use neteller but kinda wanted to see if there was a way to get around the fees that neteller charges.

If you're moving large sums of money and don't want to pay such high fees try Firepay. It's $3.99 flat.

I am not sure if WAMU accepts buy ins from poker sites but they do EFT's. I have an account and it has always been free.

party does not cashout to firepay, and there's no atm card. bummer.

i use a free checking at M&T bank to fund my poker/paypal/ebay stuff. probably will bite me in the ass that it's an actual bank though, the IRS should come knocking any day now.

negative on visa checkcard transactions though
