First you have to know the banks website: https://www.accentcommerce.com
How to open the account:
Please enter your personal data and follow the instructions from the bank here:
https://www.accentcommerce.com/new-accentcommerce-apply.html
You will be taken to the account opening process and asked to enter your personal data.
So on the bank will contact you and send you the necessary application forms.
The fees of the service will depend on the quantity and amount of deposits you will have.
Normally the accounts have a limit of US$1500 in deposits and withdrawals per day.
If you plan to have bigger amount the best is to contact them and let them know so they can help you right from the start.
If you will open the account without a way of making deposits it’s probable that they will suspend your account.
It’s recommended that you keep a minimum balance of $250 in your bank account.
How to activate your account:
To activate your account you normally need to simply send a first deposit.
You can use PayPal or a similar service to send an ACH transfer to your new account.
Once the transfer is completed your account will take from 2 to 5 days to be completed.
Activate your card:
3 to 5 week later you would receive your card via regular mail. Now is the time to activate your card.
The instructions on how to do this will be sent to you, but in sum it requires to:
- Go to a local ATM (I recommend to use one that allow you to pass your card on a slot instead of putting it all in the machine)
- Use your card and the PIN number you will get with your account.
- Use "checking" as the type of account you are using.
- Check your balance or make a withdrawal.
