a check card.

My bank wants 1500 dolalrs to set one up and only give me 1000 of it to use.

that's a secured credit card, not a check card.
i'm assuming you have shit credit.

anyways, http://www.tdcanadatrust.com/usbanking/checking.jsp

sigh... they want a deposit too.

it's a bank account, of course they want a deposit.
i suggest you actually follow the link and read the information.

otherwise, don't ask for help.

No need to get cocky.

I have an account at that bank and yes I have followed the link. In order to process the request I have to sign a form and mail them 100 dollars. 100 dollars that is tied up in bills right now. Fuck... all this trouble to just renew a domain for 20 bux. Fuck I hate banks,,,, I miss the good old days of money orders and cold hard cash.

This isn't TD Canada Trust. It's TD Waterhouse, TDBFG's American subsiduary. Technically, they're two different banks.
If you have TDCT bank accounts, they'll wave the $100 opening deposit.

hrm, I never saw anythign about the waiving. I'm just goina call them, FUck it :)

Yeah, they don't mention anything on the website. But when I was filling in the application form, I called them to confirm a few things, and I asked about the check and they were like "you don't need it because you have accounts with TDCT"

They're very friendly :)

Well thanks for the info. I'm going to go in and talk to them tomorow afternoon to get me all setup.

why don't you just use epassporte?

I dunno.

Oh wait, I think I do.

From what I gather epassporte can only be loaded by credit cards or other epassporte users. maybe I am wrong

You are correct, unless you start a commercial account.

so is this canadian bank subsidary a totally canadian company? and can i get an account from the US?

And how exactly do you load it if you're a commercial account?

wire transfer.

Is it process automatically or manually?
