PayPal + other card processors sharing Info + Account NAME with ING, and other banks

The issue is not how common your name is, but whether it matches the name on your EBAY/PP accounts.

EBAY/PP do not generally use this method to get your address, no.

By the way, I'd like to add that Wachovia works for me too. I trust they will keep working once they switch to Wells Fargo!

So do you keep opening accounts in your own name? At the same company (bank?) ? I didn't know you could have more than one type of each account with a bank.

Please explain.

[sanandreasfire]

I realize that opening accounts in a name other than your actual one, then using that account is highly highly illegal.

You must open a tech support to understand this process. Otherwise you are just guessing - wrongly - at the right way to do things.

Modee,

Have you tried Wachovia lately? I used it a few months ago, wachovia shut the bank account down! I called the bank, they said the names didn't match on the direct deposit, and it looked suspicious. I haven't been a long time wachovia customer, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work to withdraw money from paypal. Any thoughts on this?

[Modee]

I've opened Wachovia's fairly recently and they work for me. But the fact that you say it did not work for you, is notable.

By the way, all of my bank accounts I use with Ebay and PayPal are BUSINESS bank accounts. Besides everything else noted in the Short List, there is another advantage to BUSINESS bank accounts (as opposed to personal ones), and that is that: Business bank account incoming ACH deposits (and deposits in general) are scrutinized less carefully.

What about credit unions?
