epassporte is such a rip off it's not even funny. i really hope stars supports C2P or MB soon.

to answer your question, yes you can open US chequing accounts. scotia bank appears to be cheapest, being free with a minimum monthly balance of $200. TD is $1000. they are "checking accounts" so i suspect they will have all the relevant information like routing numbers....but someone here should confirm it because i haven't decided what i'm gonna do about the neteller situation yet. so far, it looks like MB and C2P accounts.
