List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)

[_Towelie_]

I know usemybank isn't an e-wallet but I didn't want to start a new thread.

Has anybody used this processor recently? I decide to throw a modest starting bankroll on Party for STT grinding and was pleased to still see usemybank as a deposit option. However the process has changed since I last used it. I was prompted to enter my phone number, after which I'm supposed to receive a phone call from an automated system asking for a confirmation number (provided onscreen). So I sit and stare at the webpage telling me 'we are dialing xxx-xxxxxxx...' and I never get the call. Anyone else have better success with this?

Very thin [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. That's alright, after talking to their customer support agent last night I've decided I don't want to give them any business. It really pisses me off when companies hire people to answer the phone without equipping them with what they need to effectively solve problems.

I've been meaning to load up the prepaid mastercard anyway...

Instadebit is an option on battlefield poker (microgaming)

So today I attempted to send a wire to Moneybookers via Bank of Montreal. It turned out to be their first day with a new automated system and was a giant headache. They couldn't even find Commerzbank to send the money to, so I'm not very confident the wire is even going to go through. :P

Trip report to follow, hopefully a short and successful one.

PC Financial is fairly popular because it's free everything. but they go through CIBC, so moneybookers will not be able to send you money (i tried).

I tried too, no go.

I think it would be worth my while to open a new bank account just to receive cash from Moneybookers, and then to divert these funds into my PC bank account... so I have a couple questions [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

1. Can anyone recommend a bank that would be good to use (ie. bare-bones, no fees, accepts bank wires from Moneybookers) for this purpose?

2. Since this thread is full of Canadians, I'll ask here. Is it generally easy to deposit at poker sites with a (non-RBC) VISA credit card? Which VISAs are easiest/fastest to get approved for?

Thanks so much in advance
