Hello uklevi,
Thanks for confirming. It's been about 8 hours, and still I don't have a verification e-mail. Did you go through the registration process again or just leave the verification code window open in your web browser? My concern is if it takes forever to generate the code and I repeat the process, the code might change.
I'll wait it out. I believe their tech support is all in Mainland China and off for the weekend, so I'll call back during normal business times in the US. Online banking is huge for this one because there is not an automated line when you call the card's customer service number. Employees are friendly, and I now know what they're asking for in the information, but I would prefer seeing all of the information online and receiving paperless statements too.
