Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
[ QUOTE ]
So just to confirm, I can set up a USD Account at my Canadian Bank, then register with MB and deposit/withdraw money from that US account, thus negating the need for any currency conversion or check sent through the mail? [/ QUOTE ] This is actually a good question. I've only tried wiring back to my Canadian currency account with currency conversion being done at that time. Has anybody tried wiring back from their U.S. currency MB account to a U.S. dollar account at one of the big 5 Canadian banks using MB? I haven't tried it but if somebody has been able to do it with zero currency conversion, maybe I'll open up a U.S. dollar account too.

[/ QUOTE ] The reason I ask this is because AFAIK, the Canadian banks' U.S. dollar accounts are actually accounts held at intermediary banks in the U.S. I could be wrong. I'm wondering how MB would handle wiring to those accounts? If somebody has been able to do it using Moneybookers, please post.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
Does anyone have trouble wiring money from your Canadian bank account to Moneybookers for verification purposes? I got the info listed on Moneybookers (Acc Name/bank/City/Swift/IBAN/Reference) but my bank told me that I needed an "Account Number" and the address for both the bank and company. I used TD Trust today.. anyone else try verifying your bank account?

Hey guys, haven't you checked out usemybank yet? They are Canadian based. They recently testified infront of the Finance Committee about electronic payments. I talked to the two founders and said they have made $60 million from online poker transactions alone. I'm amazed that it hasn't made this list of ewallets since it's prominently advertised in various poker sites.

[/ QUOTE ] I initiated a transfer on Sunday, the 6th, and it just hit my USD account at Scotiabank today. It was a $100 transfer (just so I can verify the account), and I didn't get charged any fees by Scotiabank. I'm very happy about this!

Therefore, mine is US $. However, I'm not certain if I'm correct...does anyone have an MB account in Can $?
