Internet Bank for people not residing in the US and other investments

JAque · #1 01-16-2005, 03:46 PM

Is there an internet bank for people living outside the US similar to http://home.ingdirect.com/? I am not looking for shady offshore accounts. Just a bank that insure funds similar to FDIC and pays better than average interest on savings accounts. Also, is it possible to invest money in US mutual funds from outside the US?

Does anyone know why most countries (except the US) do not allow direct bill payment or paypal/Neteller linking of bank accounts?

thanks

Where are you located at? ING Direct has similar local operations in most of Europe and Canada.
