Paying for SA?

[tctempt]

Anyone have any advice on paying for SA? I have an SO that would certainly notice a charge on existing cards, but can take out cash and get money into another account. However, opening an account usually tends to involve addresses and mail and background checks etc... I would have loved to use a prepaid card if it was possible, but seems like there's no reliable way to do that anymore.

You can get a PO Box or mailbox at your local postal store. Not the post office, because the lines are usually eternally long. However, if you go to a mom-and-pop postal store, you'll be able to get one. Then you can sign up online for a Chime or similar banking account.

I helped my niece sign up for a Chime account and it was super simple. It's all done online, so you don't have to go to a bank. You won't go through a credit or background check. Chime sends two cards, a credit card and a debit card. The cards only work if you have money in the account.

Seline is correct.

Hobby phone
Hobby address - PO Box
Hobby credit/debit card
Hobby bank account

Seriously.

Btw, every gal I know has a Hobby business and accepts credit cards.

I just found out that you deposit at any Walgreens. Apparently, there's a limit of $500 per deposit, but you can deposit two separate deposits to total $1,000. My niece is not sure if two back-to-back deposits are all you get, because she's never had more than $1,000 to deposit.
