ING Direct

Deathbear, I just opened an ING Direct account and yes, they required me to link this account to a B&M bank, but when I tried to link my Neteller account their website and their phone support tell me that any additional account has to be linked using a void $0 check from that additional account. Neteller doesn't do checks do they? Did something change recently at ING Direct. I don't see a way of connecting a Neteller account to ING Direct.

This is what has prevented me from doing this as well. From the ING website:

How do I add a link or delete a link?
To add a link, send us a personal check that is pre-printed with your name and address, made out for a deposit amount of at least $1.00. Write your Customer Number and the word "Link" on the memo line of the check. Keep in mind that the account you would like to link must be a checking account, not a brokerage or money market account. Voided or "starter" checks (checks without your personal information printed in the upper left corner) or check with the words "payable through" cannot be used.

Emigrant appears to be very similar with the following:

Can I have more than one checking account linked to my American Dream Savings Account?
At the present time, an individual may have 2 checking accounts linked to EmigrantDirect, including the checking account you used for your initial funding deposit. To add a second checking account you must mail in a check made out to EmigrantDirect for at least one dollar with your EmigrantDirect account number and the words “additional external account” on the Memo line. The name on the accounts must be the same. We can only accept your personal check as a second linked checking account.


Can anyone shed some light here or have we who are late to the ball game shut out?
