Be EXTREMELY careful about using any Etrade financial services besides the brokerage. Despite suggestions to the contrary ETrade Bank and ETrade Visa have NO connection with ETrade. Links between accounts [transfers from brokerage to bank to VISA etc] DON"T work as promised resulting in late payments, late fees and bounced checks, in two cases to IRS, something you NEVER want to do.
