Problem linking account

[Teephud]

After being a skeptic for some time, my brother talked me into getting in over the holiday weekend. I didn't have my full checking account number in my phone, so I had to wait till I got home to sign up. I then had to wait 2 days for the tiny credits to show up to activate my account. They finally came through this morning, but Bitcoin said they were wrong! I tried a few times, even reversing the order of #1 and #2, and tried with a 0 in front of the decimal point and without. Ultimately, I got locked out, and will have to wait 24 hours before trying again.

I talked a guy into buying Bitcoin on the airplane on the way home Sunday, and literally watched him create his account and buy in a minute or two. Why did he not have to confirm 2 small transactions , and I do? His account was with Capital One, mine with a small local bank. Is taht why?

I am so frustrated. Bitcoin has literally gone up several hundred dollars while I've been trying to do this!
