Tracker, I've had the same problem trying to sign up for check writing. At least Datek is responding to your email. Let me know if you have any success.

Tracker: we are on the same boat. And I send them e-mail, twice already, they kept sending me back the instruction how to sign on. It is frustrating.

Tracker: Today I called Datek, after waiting for about 25 mins on the phone and being hang up on twice, they told me signing up for check writing online is still not working yet, and that is the only way one can sign up. That guy told me 3 days from today (2/17) it should work. And keep in mind, they said 3 days since early Feb. What can you say? I feel Datek now is more and more like E-trade. I guess a lot of E-trade customers have come to Datek in hope for a change, only to find out they are more or less the same.
