So I want to leave stars to move to party but i want to get it there with the fewest fees possible. Unfortunetly Im using a Canadian Neteller account which charges a 1.9% exchange fee. My question is what would you guys recommend I do in order to pay the least fees and get the transfer done as quickly as possible.
I was thinking of making a new Neteller account but do they require a min $25 deposit to activate the account? Also does anyone know if the fee is charged twice to bring the money to CAD then back to USD?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Um...as has been covered before, you should open a Netteller account in $US, but you can only have one account. So...you need to open a new account associated with a different e-mail address, then talk to customer support to transfer any funds in your old account and close it out. You also can associate your old e-mail address with it and transfer the banking at that time. It's a pain in the butt but get it done, 'cause it'll save you money in the long run.

Warpe.. when you withdraw your funds to your can bank.. how does that work?
Ive probably lost 1000s by having a CAN fund neteller account, but I am very lazy.. : ) might consider changing it tho

they ding you 1.9% going to or from the bank account, but all poker room transfers are fee free. I switched my account from Cdn$ to US$ and had no issues.

If you want to be really stingy, open a US$ bank account and transfer in and out of that. Then you're just paying whatever your bank charges you for currency exchange.

It's a $1.90/$100. Unless your moving $1000 bucks, who cares, make it back on the table. These guys on all these sites are giving away free buy-ins all day anyway.
