Bank accounts for US students...

<p>I’m wondering if TD Bank is still the best bank to go with for US to Canada funding of a student, as it was mentioned in a recent forum in NYC by McGill (maybe by a parent) that was no longer the case (the person there did not take notes). I’m looking to
-either transfer in or deposit funds into the US account (we live in NJ near NYC) that is linked to a Canadian branch account,
-and have them accessible, preferably via a Visa or Mastercard branded debit card (so it can be used for debit or credit transactions) in Canada

  • against Canadian funds so there is no foreign currency charge,
  • with as much as possible on-line transacting and reporting in both the US and canada. </p>

<p>I’m not sure how checks are done in Canada, but being able to see the image on-line would be a plus.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
