barrier. In response to your two questions, first, your Complete Investment
Account is a U.S. based account; and your account will be with E*TRADE
Securities LLC. The E*TRADE offices in international locations are wholly
owned subsidiaries of E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corp.
To answer your second question regarding whether an ATM card can be

numbers 55XX. Your E*TRADE Complete ATM/Debit Card can be used at

To your online success,

Below is some proofs from my existing E*trade
account:
Figure 1: Free Visa Platinum ATM card (In this First Edition of
this guide book, I own this card. But now this bank don’t issued Visa
card any more for non-US residents. So I in this Second Edition I will

Figure 5: You can choose to receive bank statements online
through email.
15
Secrets They Don't Want You Know About ETrade www.USBank4Free.com
And now, I will guide you open a Etrade Brokerage account:
Some introduce about E*Trade bank.
This bank has provided excellent and fast customer service. In fact,
I was able to open our bank account within 6 days - and that includes
mail time, from our country to the US. Introducing E*Trade Financial! A
division of E*Trade Banking and E*Trade Securities LLC (a NYSE
listed corporation) which operates through The Bank of New York, a
leading US banking institution with capitalization of $7,200,000,000
($7.2 billion) and with its Head Office at 1 Wall Street, New York City.
As a non US resident, you are eligible to open an E*Trade
Complete Investment Account with E*Trade Clearing LLC (this is to
whom the initial check or draft for initial deposit is payable).
Although the E*Trade account has all the features and benefits of a
normal bank and checking account, it is technically a US Brokerage
Account used primarily for buying securities (stocks and shares). This is
necessary to get around the US banking laws relating to non residents of
the USA. But after years use this bank, I don’t have to trade anything. I
only use it to withdraw my online earning. So it’s ok for various use
purpose.
It mean you can use the brokerage facilities if you want to, there is
no requirement to trade (buy and sell) in stocks or shares. If you do,
however, or maintain the minimum required account balance, you can
continue to receive free banking. Otherwise after your first year free,
16
Secrets They Don't Want You Know About ETrade www.USBank4Free.com
there is a quarterly charge of $40 which equates to about $13 per month,
or less than 5 cents per day. Most US banks do not offer this degree of
service so cheaply.
You can visit the bank now by going to: www.EtradeBank.com.
But don't click to open your account just yet. Filling out the wrong form
(even though it says Bank Account Opening form), will get your
application denied. We'll walk you through the right process in a minute.
To open your account we will be using the services of E*Trade
Securities, LLC. But first...
About E*TRADE Securities, LLC: E*TRADE Securities, LLC is a
member of the SIPC. Even though they are a separate company they are
affiliated with E*TRADE Bank - allowing you to have banking services.
ADVANTAGES OF THIS BANK ACCOUNT
Make withdrawals and purchases around the world with
your Free Master Debit card. I will show you how to obtain
a Free Master Debit Card at later section in this guidebook.
So you can se this Master Debit ATM card anywhere for
purchases in shops or online, or to withdraw cash. You can
use to withdraw up to $500 a day at any ATM that accepts
Master cards. There are 11,000 in the US and 700,000
worldwide. Provided you have sufficient funds in your
account, you can purchase up to $5,000 a day at any outlet
that accepts Master cards. Use it for online shopping too,
wherever Visa Debit Cards are accepted.
17
Secrets They Don't Want You Know About ETrade www.USBank4Free.com
Withdraw PayPal Funds. Although, this bank not work with
Paypal buy linking it directly with your Paypal account. But
as promise I will so you a solution so you can still withdraw
your Paypal earning to this bank account, certainly it’s
indirect method. Because you can receive payments via
PayPal for a variety of things. This is especially true when
you are selling something online either via email, websites
or online auctions like eBay. If you do not have a US bank
account, there is often only one way to use your PayPal
credit, and that is to spend it online with other PayPal
merchants. By having a US bank account, you can withdraw
your PayPal funds, then use the money any way you want.
Receive US Deposits and Pay Bills using ACH (Automated
Clearing House) within the USA. Many US businesses make
direct payments this way, saving time and money on both
sides.
Deposit US checks. By mailing them directly to your new
bank account. Many internet businesses receive payments of
affiliate commissions and proceeds of internet sales or other
earnings by checks which are mailed to your home address.
If you deposit these checks in your local bank account, there
is a minimum transaction fee of $10 or more per check. If
you deposit only one check every month, you will pay $120
per year (probably a lot more as fees are based on value too).
For a small check, say $30, you will lose over 30%. By
18
Secrets They Don't Want You Know About ETrade www.USBank4Free.com
having a US bank account, you can now deposit unlimited
US$ checks for FREE and immediately increase your
earnings.
Save Clearance Time and Money. Your local bank would
also take around 4 to 6 weeks to clear a foreign check
because it is first sent by mail to the US bank that issued it.
Once it’s cleared the US bank advises your bank to release
the funds to your account, less the cost of currency
conversion and commission. Having your own US bank
account means you just mail it to the bank with a deposit
slip and it’s cleared within days without extra cost, and you
can use your ATM card to get the cash (also free).
Avoid high bank charges. If you deposit US$ checks in a
bank outside the US, your local bank may charge you $10 or
more in commission per check. There is also a delay of
maybe 4 to 6 weeks before you can withdraw the proceeds
as cash. By using this US bank account, you do not pay any
commission and your checks are available as cash within a
few days.
No account minimum. The application form states $1,000,
but you can open account with no balance at all. Once your
account is open you can set up and transfer funds once you
link your PayPal account.
Free ACH direct deposits
Free initial check book
19

Notice: This step is about open your US checking account at
E*Trade bank. Not about Meta Bank, this bank I will show you later,
only use this bank for verification Paypal purpose.
Now the part you have been waiting for. How to actually open
your account...
E*Trade offers two accounts and 2 different forms (this is where
most people get tricked into thinking they can't open an account).
The first account is a Checking Account. Non-US residents can't
open this account.
The second account is a brokerage account. It works just like a
checking account. However, you also have the option to use it for
investing (you don't have to invest, you can just use it as a checking
account).
This account is available to residents and non-US residents.
This brokerage account allows you to write US checks, and full
Internet banking. You can also ACH (direct deposit) funds from PayPal,
2Checkout.com, or any other US bank. This is the account you will open.
You can download the application forms (pdf files requiring
Adobe Reader – free if you don't already have it). Download direct from

There are normal and free USA 800 numbers. Cheap and even free
calls can be made from outside the US if you use an IP (PC-based)
phone service like Skype. The bank’s support people are extremely
polite and helpful, but as there are several help centres in locations
around the world, you might be asked to hold while they liaise with the
bank to find the answer to your question. Another good reason to use a
cheap or free phone service! Some information may be available only
during office or banking hours in New York (EST). From experience we
know that phoning is the best way to communicate with them if you need
a quick answer. Their email response time is considerably longer.
You can phone to check the progress of your account and ATM
card issue. It’s worth trying to find out if the forms contain all the
information they need. Delays may be caused by incomplete information,
but you may not be contacted about it immediately. If you feel you are
waiting too long, then don’t hesitate to phone. Otherwise, if you let
things just take their course, you should receive the welcome kit, Visa

Account Funding and Withdrawals
If you apply without sending funds, your account will still be
opened. As soon as you are able to login, you can fund it directly in
various ways: by check, draft, wire transfer and ACH (direct deposit).
Check Deposits
The following information is not documented on the E*Trade web
site, but we confirmed it by phone. Apart from posting checks for deposit
to E*Trade ourselves, it's possible to have Payers who have your deposit
slips, send checks direct to the bank. This saves a lot of time, extra
expense and unreliable postal services outside the USA. The fact that the
checks have not been endorsed has not presented a problem. We phoned
E*Trade for advice on this matter.
Deposit slips can be requested when opening the account or later,
but there may be a charge and postage. An alternative is to do a 'screen
capture' of the deposit slip which shows on screen below your E*Trade
Online Statement, available at the end of each month. This has your
name, address and account number on it, as well as the correct address to
send deposits to E*Trade. Save the captured screen after cropping just the
deposit slip, preferably as a .jpg file. Print it for your own use or attach
a copy to an email you send to any company who agrees to post checks

programs. It's unlikely that ClickBank or Google will comply though.
