Alternatives to Firepay

[KingKarl]

Hey people....

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before, I am new to 2+2. I cannot use Firepay any more as I'm sure many of you know. Can anyone recommend another way/company to use for my transactions? I can't use Neteller since my wife already has an account with them and we use the same bank account. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again....Karl

Not sure why your sharing a bank account would stop you opening a Neteller account. It might stop you verifying the bank account and make withdrawals and deposits harder if they do only allow one bank account be linked to one Neteller account. You could always just peer-to-peer transfer to/from your wife's account though.

Yeah it's strange but neteller said only one name per account number, granted that was several months ago and maybe they've changed their polocies. By peer to peer I assume you mean transferring money from her account to mine through the poker site itself...I looked into that, we play at Bodog and they don't have that option. I know Full-Tilt does...might have to switch. Thanks abat...Karl

Just open another checking account and use it to start/fund a neteller account and eat the monthly fees for same or maitain a balance sufficient to avoid fees.

I was assuming that you would be able to get a Neteller account but not be able to link your bank account to it and hence not be able to fund or withdraw this way. Neteller allows you to do peer-to-peer transfers between accounts this is what I was suggesting.

Unless there is a restriction based on surname and address I'd still guess you'd be good to get the Neteller account (although as we've said there might be a problem linking it to your bank account).

P2P costs transfer fees though.

I would open another checking account..Not sure if Netteller has a one account per household rule..

[brianmarc]

Rule is 1 acct per person; so multiple indivs in same hh can have their own acct.

From what I see, MB has very small limits and theother 2 are not even offerd by PP.
