Question about E Trade Account.....

Is it true that you can open up an e trade bank account and use this to deposit and withdraw from the poker sites? I live in the US, but I heard since these accounts are off shore that it works fine.

Is this right or wrong?

Thanks to whoever answers.

wha

Ive never heard of that one....e-trade is for trading stocks I thought...

you can open up a bank account as well with it.....im just trying to confirm and see if anyone has done it here.

No one knows?

I've never used them for stocks or a checking account but etrade is based in New York so they should be just like any other US bank? dont know. I use a small local bank and I have deposited and withdrawn using pokerstars echecks many times. I would think the echeck option will work with any bank account since the processors they use are based in the US. (The last transaction was from a company in Houston according to the info that showed on my bank statement)
