Default Re: Neteller ING DIRECT Canada

I live in the US, but I wanted to link Neteller to a higher yielding account.

Neteller told me that you cannot link a Neteller account to an internet-only bank. The CS rep said sometimes it goes through, and sometimes it doesn't. But, if they're aware of it, they won't do it. He said that it was to help prevent fraud, and that your Neteller account should be linked to a B&M bank.

He also said that this was a restriction on their end, and nothing the bank prevents (my take was that it doesn't matter whether the bank can do ACH or checking transactions). I asked specifically about ING, and he said it probably wouldn't work.

I don't know how accurate that is, but I decided to leave my current setup in place, and just move funds between my checking account and an online bank myself. A little more hassle, but not that big of a deal I guess.
