I have over 8 accounts with E-trade. I did all by electronic transfer from my other banks. I will never consider mailing a check to open bank accounts. In any case, my first account, an IRA in 2005 took about a week to open. Its all part of the routine of verifying accounts etc.

I find their services superb and have nothing to complain about. Even though they say it takes 3 days to transfer money out, it takes just 24 hours for funds from my E-trade accounts to be deposited in my other external bank accounts and it takes about 3 days for funds to move in the opposite direction.

They did the same thing to me too. Etrade never got the initial deposit and then said they have no record of my account. I’m working on it…

I opened this account and so far I don’t like it. It took 10 business days for my money to show on the account. There was a hold of five business days for me to active quick transfer, which means I couldn’t send the money about or even set up the account.

When I finally did set up an account, E*trade never got the initial deposits so I couldn’t activate it. I don’t know what happened or went wrong.

A rep says three to five business days for money coming in and three business days for money to go out.

The website is confusing and I don’t recommend this deal. Even though the rate is pretty high, I don’t think it will last long. I’m going to take my $25 and walk.

Etrade has been great to me. The account management online is one of the best. I really like the ACH transfer and billpay. Online customer service responds fast to questions. Opening new CD’s and other stuff are easily done all online.
