Problems with online poker and FirstMerit bank?

[Cheezymadman]

Anyone else here bank with FirstMerit? I changed the address on my account about half an hour ago, and I can't deposit to Stars. I've never tried directly depositing before, but I'm thinking that either:

A) The chick behind the counter lied when she said she'd get it changed in the computer right away.
B) FirstMerit hates online poker.
C) Using my debit card as a visa isn't right, even though it has the Visa logo on it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Talked to the bank, it turns out FirstMerit doesn't allow withdrawls to online gaming or deposits from it. So no cash in or out for poker with them. Just an FYI.

Umm - don't know where you have been lol. US banks have not been allowing deposits to poker sites for over a year now.
