As if that would help. I wrote on Monday and have received no response. (I asked about the pricing structure and the difference between merchant and non-merchant accounts.) Has anyone received a reply from ftrotter?

This is for a "WorldCurrency Access Interest Account", which I don't think is what is used for ecash. For ecash the account opening fee is $11 and the per-month fee is $5. I don't see any reference to required account minimums.

Aha. That's where I got the $11 figure from. I suppose I should try actually _reading_ all the fine print :)

IANAL, but then I never claimed to be.

I'll be writing to Mark Twain's contact ("ftrotter@marktwain.com") and try to figure out just what the deal is.
