If I had 1G I think I would try to swing a deal for 2 Q6600's, but I don't think I could get them quite that cheap.

Yes, welcome hunterkasy to Minnesota Crunchers!

Did I hear somebody mention word bank?

Ou poi what stories I have

I actually found myself another very interesting bank, called Advanzia.
It is located on Luxemburg and it is "high tech" version from bank. They do not offer anything else that deposit account and free credit card.
Probably (I really do not know) they address is post box on some industrial zone.

This all of course sound very weird, but if some company receive status of bank on Luxemburg, then it is under ultrahigh regulation from authorities..
Trust me, I know what I'm doing...

About bank it self, well.
They have deposit account, interest is 6% for first month and after that 4.1% and interest paid monthly. So on this time when €uribors are getting close to zero, they offer is very luring...

Withdraws can be made only counter account, so this is always "sub bank" to some another full service bank account. Well, they offer free MasterCard so it is one way use ATM's as bank offices...

One another thing that really is good on Luxemburg, is that they can still offer bank secrecy.
Here on Finland there is not any kind of bank secrecy, every civil servant from municipal to government level are aloud to access individual bank account.
This all happen on last great depression, very much that you fellows are going through right now, they just change law on that way that even municipal desk jerk can access to everybody's bank account. It did lead so very odd situations on beginning.
Worst occurs were situation were fellow went to public health station, and they check how much he earn because some fees are tied to income level, they found out that fellow has actually real job or something so they did let him understand next time that he should use private doctor.
That is of course ridiculous, it is not reason why somebody should not be able to use public facilities because he pays lot of taxes.... But it was here.

After that surge of request, bank start to inherit fee from every request that they get, so it did limit of using this card...

After EMU membership, there was no way to stop open foreign bank account, so those did provide some protection to privacy.
But once again, all incomes in Finland are public knowledge How much somebody earn here is on everybody's access. There is actually yellow paper called "Taxcalendar" were they list every municipals tax information, and sells quite well. it seems that everybody is very interested to know what is neighbour salary.
So all those foreign bank on EU area will provide information to local tax authoress and it will all end to Taxcalendar...

But there is three country that does not aloud breaking of bank secrecy, those are Luxemburg, Austria and Belgium. Switzerland is not on EU.
They never accept those laws that would obligate them to report individuals... They will collect withhold taxes as another EU countries, but they will report collected taxes as one big amount, so individual privacy is fully protected.

Banks banks I <3 banks
