If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. »» Martin Luther King, Jr.

Virtual Bank (Step Two)

Posted on March 24, 2006

I decided a few weeks ago to take advantage of a few more Online Savings Account Savings Bonuses, so requested a VirtualBank referral from Jonathan at MyMoneyBlog. Eventually I want to open an Emigrant Direct and an ING account through him as well, so I can then “sell” my referrals back to him for further distribution. Besides, his blog was the one that really got me moving forward, on these new account bonuses, so I think he deserves to make a little something from me in the process.

On Tuesday I submitted my application to VirtualBank. On Wednesday I received an email from them telling me how to report the test deposits they’d made into my NetBank checking account. Those deposits didn’t actually show up until around 3:30 this morning. Once they did I went to VirtualBank to confirm them, but kept getting 500 Internal Server Errors instead of the confirmation page. Not a good sign.
Around 4:15 this morning I tried again and successfully confirmed the deposits. The confirmation message stated that in three more days my account would be accessible. So now it’s back to wait and see mode.
