They say they block it, but people have reported success anyways. Just idle curiosity ;) Sorry, I meant deposit from an external non-linked account.

Have you tried to deposit some money into the E-loan account anyways? I keep forgetting to try, just for the heck of it. I probably misplaced the routing number too...

I wouldn't say they're more or less risky than any of the internet banks that have been around longer. E-LOAN is FDIC insured.

(eg. FDIC guarantee)? Here in Oz the banks have online accounts, and so do "other lenders" - who offer slightly higher rates, but with less security. Most people don't worry about this until the company hits the skids and they either lose their money, or it is "frozen" while things get worked out. Even if it is same security, you will have greater risk of the account being closed, rates cut etc. Here in Oz one of the "better" (higher interest rate) online accounts was run by Esanda (a bank-owned finance company, mainly doing car loans etc). It suddenly decided to get out of the online banking business at short notice - we didn't lose any of our money or interest, but it was annoying!

I was going to ask you to send me one. Thanks again. :) P.S. If you've tried prosper.com I'd like to read your take on it. It was started by the same guy as e-loan. Darn.

E-LOAN doesn't have a referral program yet. But I sent them a note a couple days ago requesting that they implement one. If they decide to, I'll be sure to let everyone know. Sorry, Kelly.

Does e-loan offer you some kind of referral incentive? Like, ING will give you $10 if you refer someone to ING and give that person $25. Thanks again. Thanks for your 3 articles on e-loan.
