You can make them not send teh statements, but yeah, they can see what you buy.

I'm not100% sure, but if you create a joint account, you can come back teh next day and say you wanna unjoin it, it just needs a signature from everybody.

But couple more footnotes about joint accts tho,

In a way, it's nice to have em joint, cuz it's easy to transfer monies over, only prob is that parents initiate teh transfer, so you have to get them to do it online.
And if you're ever in a pit for paying for something, ring em up, get em to transfer over $50

When you create an account, make sure you get a piece of paper and write down your TRANSIT, BRANCH, and ACCOUNT Numbers, you need those for Paypal and other online services.

Also, you can give those numbers to a friend and they can make deposits to your account if needed.


Also Also, when you buy with Paypal, it registers as "Paypal LTD" and not teh specific place you bought

really?  several of my friends use it for paypal and buying things online.

i want a debit card but around here they won't let you get one til you're 18.  although somehow a bunch of people have them.
It DOES Work with paypal, if it don't then how do I buy crap online...?


And I'm sure you can get one too, it just has to be joint with your parents.
If I assume I should put MasterCard as card type (I have a Maestro), but I have no fucking clue what my debit card number is...

AND there is no "card verification number" on the back of my card.

That's what tehy all say


More notes

I suggest you deposit more money than you plan to spend beforehand,

It takes a week for each deposit to go through, so I usually toss $50 into my Paypal and Spend it on what I need, then I go to www.dealextreme.com and spend teh rest on random chinese junk that's totally awesome but cheap, and in every money donmination, free shipping too.

I'm assuming that you need an actual MasterCard debit as opposed to Maestro debit.

A whaaaat?

edit: Checking out my bank's website, the debit card I've had since I was 14 is some kind of noob-debit, only able to use it in ATMs and stores...

Gotta upgrade to a proper one. I wonder if I can get one under 18?

Sydney you might only have an ATM card. It lets you deposit and withdraw stuff from your bank accounts but that's it. You can't make purchases with it.

If it has no series of numbers on the front it's probably ATM.

In the US, yes. Shit in the US you can get a credit card under 18 if your parents co-sign (I coulda opened my checking account w/ debit card all by myself, but I brought mommy just in case).

It's a debit all right, but fuck me, here's something I just read at my banks website about Debit Cards:

"A debit card is only usable with the reading of information from the magnetic strip in an electronic way. Therefore it is not allowed to give the card number or the pin number for payment without the electronic use. The card is therefore not usable for payment via phone or letters."

(Shitty translation by me from Icelandic)

But what about the internetz?

You go to your bank and ask for your ACCOUNT and BRANCH numbers, the debit card/number is only an Alias to that information.

Also ask for the TRANSIT number,

The Transit is your Bank code, each bank within a country has its own.
The Branch is where you made your account, regardless where you do yur banking, all information is sent and stored at that branch.
The Account is your specific account AT that branch.

I think I know those numbers.
Same numbers someone would put in (minus the transit number) to wire money to me?
