Should I keep my US bank account?

I'm on the move

[Timotheos]

Hi there,

I'm moving from the US to Canada and once I get there my plans are to set up a Ecommerce site that sells widgets worldwide. I'm wondering if I should keep my US bank account? Are there any advantages or should I close it?

Thanks,
Tim

I use US Bank and they own Nova, which processes the visa credit cards and puts them in your account the next day {Normaly}.

I would keep it.

It's quite easy to get a USD bank account in Canada so I don't really see any advantage to keeping your existing one. I have a USD Business Account with RBC and I can even transfer from Paypal to it if it was located in the US.
