I can use the card at ATMs in Canada, the only thing is that the 'white label' machines like at the variety stores don't take them. At a regular bank machine that's not in the actual bank (like a grocery store), I have to make sure they have the proper logo to show which networks they accept. I have no problem with my own bank machine or any other machine that's actually in a bank

I hope it works out too. I love epassporte.

i think epass had a problems in there bank/s

im not sure , also they always a downtime... grrr

[Bruce Miller]

We have kicked around not using epassporte partialy because of the high wire fees, for us it's $50 each time. Plus we have had numerous attempts by affiliates who are nothign more than card swipers to try to fraud us with fake joins, we have yet to actually pay out to one of these frauds, but in the mean time we then have to deal with chargebacks if we don't get those signups refunded in time. This only became a problem after we started using epassporte.

no issues in getting money from atm's here either... well, except for the high fees anyways. plus the virtual card is really useful. hopefully everything will work out for the best

I don't know what the gambling problem is but it seems to me that banks don't like cheaper competition.

i worked a lot with banks in my former job, and IMO thats excatly the point, and what they do is the only way they can bring them down

[Kenny B!]

I really don' think the issue is that banks are afraid of the competition, Epass should be so lucky that the big banks are afraid of them.

I had thought Epassport would solve all this and assure I'd get all my money. I've recently started having a few processing problems with them which I hadn't had up until now. I guess I may have to go back to the ol' paper check method. Will keep my eyes open to any new Epassport developments.

If you switch back could you not use a Private Mail Box to collect all your checks from? i.e. Having all the checks go to that PMB and visit it once a week or have the PMB staff inform you when you have mail. JMHO

Yes, I suppose I could do that but I guess I'm too lazy to set up a PMB. I'm in the process of switching almost all affiliate payments to checks. Keeping fingers crossed that I get all my mail.

i am changing every sponsor who drops payment by epassporte, so if all drop then i will drop bizz, you dont know how much i had to pay in cost by cashing in checks, i was so happy epassporte came after the paypal shit, paypal sucks too, they forched me to pay a huge amound for cost to collect my money and ofcourse i dropped them, so one thing i promise myself, after paypal and now epaasporte, if i have to deal with checks i drop this bizz, i had tons of checks bounched, i pay an huge amound to cash in the checks, epasporte was heaven for me,so every sponsor who drops epassporte,then i will drop the sponser, so epic cash is off my list too.

[dready]

If they are going down, it's going to be a long spiral. Hopefully by then they get it together.

[bluebrit]

I got the same email from epic cash regarding this and queried it with them. These are the emails.

Original email recieved:
Epic Cash will no longer use the epassporte system any longer as a payment option.
Why you ask?
For the simple fact they have put the adult webmasters and affiliate programs at risk.

To which i replied:
Can you give some specifics as to why adult webmasters and affiliate
programs are at risk?


I got this reply:
any that use epassporte.

I sent this follow up email but go no further response:
Sorry but your reply doesn't make any sense to me with regard to the
question. Can you be a little more specific regarding your announcement?

Make of it what you will. I never got a decent reply from epic cash and i doubt if anyone will ever know for certain why they dumped epass or what made them post such an ambiguous post regarding their decision.

[Gasper]

Hope epass stays for a while. It's so easy to recieve and withdraw money with it. Would suck to go back to checks.

[tsanko]

And second thing. I can`t pay with my epassporte virtual card via PayPal to e-mail address

[secretagentwilly]

Am I missing something here? Is epassporte in jeopardy of going away? I haven't heard that before. Epassporte is the shit...except for as already mentioned, you can't pay for paypal with it.

[secretagentwilly]

Come to think about it, does anyone have a newspaper article or something to back up the notion of epass going away? I don't want to get all crazy over an assumption...

[Greenguy]

No - this is all just the normal message board speculation crap.

[01Mobster]

As far as I heard (maybe it is just an urban legend) another virtual bank like ePassporte made some money loundry and for that reason USA decided to close all american virtual accounts until the investigation lasts.
So far my ePassporte works fine even thou I am from hungary and most banks do not lik this country

[zvaka]

long live epassporte!

I heard the same story, except he had a hook on his foot.

[budz]

I agree with budz

I hope this all gets worked out alright.


I like epassporte!
