*Official* Which Banks Are Good for Poker Players?
I know I've read some posts on here saying that Bank of America tends to give people a hard time about online poker stuff, so I thought maybe myself and others would benefit from a thread like this.
Anyway, please post information about banks here. Things that would be nice: *How's the customer service? *Any weird rules? *How do they deal with "suspicious" checks from poker sites? *How do they deal with large cash withdrawals/deposits?

Re: *Official* Which Banks Are Good for Poker Players?
Although I'm a small stakes grinder (never made a withdrawl/deposit > 2k) I'd suggest the RBS group, as they're privately owned by some Scots. I have a couple checking accounts with Charter One and they're great. Their Debit Card is a MasterCard, and I've used it to deposit on multiple sites. I've also never had a problem with a deposit via paper check, ACH, or EFT into either account. Their website is decent too.

I think they should all be assumed to be OK unless proven otherwise. I don't think it does anyone any good to start listing "online poker friendly" banks.

kkcountry,
Cool. Does RBS have branches in the US though? Will they work in dollars or do Americans have to pay vig to convert between $s and pounds? Whangarei, On second thought, I should've probably titled this "Which Banks Are Bad for Poker Players."

ING Direct, online bank. [/ QUOTE ] Will they (or WaMu) accept checks from Party Poker? I'd be very happy if ING Direct will take PP checks.

Bump, trying to figure out the logistics of Party doing this for me.
