A couple years ago, I tried to deposit using my HSBC debit card not knowing any better, and I got a call from the Security Dept telling me the same exact thing. So, this has always been their stance I guess.

I'd respond by closing my account with them - if they had me as a customer. And they don't. And won't. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yeah, what do those honkies know about America.
Maybe if they were the second biggest bank in the world by market cap, incorporated and headquartered in the UK, maybe they would have a clue. But they're not, right?

i thought UB was slick when it charged credit cards. don't they have fake purchase code to show up to your credit card? so it won't show up as poker. oh well, at least my credit card works.

my bank did the same thing, credit unions, criminey, this is all just a big damn nightmare, cant wait for it to go away.

@Annulus: they do - but, the thing is, they try ONCE to deposit directly, and get declined, before they go that route. .. so the bank WILL see ONE transaction attempted from a poker site, and if their security levels are set high enough, once may be enough to get you a phone call.
