Which is more risky? Accepting Pay Pal, credit card payments or money orders? February 23, 2010

Posted by Banking in : Credit , 4comments
There is the risk of malware and spyware for credit card use online and unfortunately phony money order scams.

So people which do you think is more risky?
Aren’t you suppose to verify if the money order is authentic before cashing it?
Isn’t there a way it can be determined if it’s fake or real.
Money orders from banks and post offices are real. Just look at the water signs.

Posted by Banking in : Credit , 6comments

I just turned 18 and I want to establish my credit. I already own a car so I don’t want to get an auto loan to start establishing it. I want to get a credit card with a low credit limit so I can start establishing it. Where are the easiest places to get credit cards?
My bank does not have credit cards. I also do not feel like changing banks because I have been with this one for 2 years.Submited by:Tricia0430

What credit card to get at 18 and not a college student? February 22, 2010

Posted by Banking in : Credit , 4comments

I always thought at 18 they love to give you credit cards, I’ve tried Capitol One, Chase, a QT credit card, and a Best Buy one. All deny due to no credit history. I obviously can’t get Credit history if they won’t let me have credit. I Work 2 jobs and just want to have one just in case and to actually build my credit. What’s going on and why do i keep getting denied?Submited by:Bryce

pascal_vanderstraeten asked:


Or, in other words, what value should be given from a credit risk to a net worth of a borrower that consists of unvested stocks and stock options related to the company he’s working for? Should that value be brought back to zero because if for instance the borrower would leave his company, those unvested stock and stock options would remain ownership ofthe company?

Is it normal for a dentist to keep a credit from an insurance reimbursement? February 16, 2010

Posted by Banking in : Dental , 2comments
If you had a dental procedure and your insurance covered it, but the dentist still made you pay out of pocket, shouldn’t the dentist inform the patient immediatley once the insurance company reimburses them? Shouldn’t the patient know that he/she has a credit? Is it normal for them to not tell you and just apply it to your next appointment without your knowledge?

I need to know which bank in Southern California is a good bank for opening a bank account as a 17 year old. I need to be able to open the account by myself and withdraw/deposit by myself, possibly have checking and/or ATM services.
