Compass Bank is another 100% online bank. I don't know a lot about them, but |
| 10 |
do know I get a decent amount of their cards thru at work, so people use 'em. |
| 11 |
100% online, they sand you a card and you can do business at any ATM. They |
| 12 |
refund ATM fees up to X dollars per transaction. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
But I've no idea on business accounts with them, and no idea if they require |
| 15 |
direct deposit or just that you use an ATM for deposits as well. |

100% online, tho, so there shouldn't be restrictions on locality, except that |
| 18 |
their ATM fee refunds might not cover the full amount of non-US transactions. |

Due to the strengthened banking laws after 9/11, pretty much anything in the |
| 21 |
US is going to require ID verification of some sort. However, I'm not |
| 22 |
certain it would have to be all officers, and since faxed documents are held |
| 23 |
to be legally valid in the US, I'm guessing that's how something that's 100% |
| 24 |
online would work, fax them the IDs. It's possible they'd need notarized, |
| 25 |
but notaries are pretty common. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Just throwing another option out there. At least here, ask anyone to name an |
| 28 |
online bank, and Compass is likely the name that would come up. |
