I hate my job

thanks for the tip. can't believe i didn't think about it sooner. i ended up opening a checking/savings acct with washington mutual online. there goes one problem... now on to my renewed i.d. that she's now asking me for.

should have gone with compass. they are offering $50 bestbuy/amazon gift cards or nanos. Plus the best thing is being able to use their atm cards anywhere for free(they refund any fees from other banks' atms).

and I opened an account online and have never stepped into a compass bank location...although it would require you have an existing account to transfer money. But if i'm not mistaken you could simply mail them a money order to fund your account initially.

oh and free checks for life.

Opening an account online will not solve the problem of providing proper ID. I doubt the account will be functional and you certainly won't get an account number online. You will have to mail in a package of do ents after you have them mailed to you first which may include a signature card and copies of 2 forms of ID.

incorrect at least for the bank i mentioned above. The form you mail in is available to print out when you fill in your application then mail that in.
Though, having an existing account might nullify having to send in any proof of id. But I have sent out one piece of mail and have received my account do ents, checks and atm card.
