EPASSPORTE -- The Power To Move Money!

Looks like there's still a few bugs - I just went to add my bank account & kept getting this error:

"Error occurred at Wed Jun 02 16:52:56 PDT 2004.
No further information is available.

Please contact Cardholder Service for more information at cs@epassporte.com. Please include the time listed above and any information about what you were trying to do. "

I sent in an email, so we'll see what happens

AHHH!

So near, yet so far.

Any idea when international tramsfers will be available? Remember the UK? Guys who fight every war with you?

It's a real bitch, trying to withdraw 2.5 mil, 500 bucks a time . . .

Looks like ePassporte is yet another comapny that thinks that, beside the US, there is no civilization on this planet
In the coming days I will order their physical card. As I am from Europe I wonder ... would it be made of stone?

Kristian - Don't moan about the lack of international support, it gives us an advantage over the US. Remember less than 50% of revenue comes from the US, and companies without international support are loosing half their profit. SO ARE COMPANIES THAT USE THEM . But webmasters who live in the US usually do not realize this, particularly as they experience no problems themselves. However those of us who live outside the US experience the problems first hand and they either prevent us from using the service outright or at least give us a warning. Although it is tempting to assume that US webmasters are smart enough to not use companies without international support, we all do stupid things without thinking, however clever we are. But you and I cannot make that mistake because we do not live in the US. This means that we should be making twice as much money as we would if we were Americans.

So stop complaining, and next time you are in America pop over to Boston for a celebratory cup of tea.

Tell me Rand, is there a limit as to the amount we can transfer to our bank accounts daily?

The link to their site has been down for a couple of days. |pissed|

Funny how the only requests I've ever seen have been people bitching that YOU said this feature would be available 14 months ago.

The card works fine. I have no complaints at all with ep; I only wish they recognised that countries exist BESIDES the U.S and would enable international bank transfers.

Ok Im confused, I just checked my email and theres no mention of it and I cant find anything different in my account interface. Was an email sent to members with that info and where instructions provided to add your bank acct?

[Surfn]

I finally logged on to my account with the same result as busty1, no place to transfer to my other banks???

This ability to transfer funds to your bank account or load via ACH has been offered first to those in the adult space via promotions on forums such as GGAJ.

If you are an existing Epassporte account holder and wish to link your bank account go here.

Thanks, all set now

Hello?


Rand, am I invisible?

International transactions?

Of course the folks at Epassporte want to include the whole world. Otherwise, integration with Swift and IBAN are not impossible but difficult.

Epassporte is working to integrate as many countries as possible but at this time there is no date given for international transfers. My guess, however, is that Canada and/or the UK will be among the first to be linked to the Epassporte system.

Foreign affiliates can still withdraw their funds from ATM's (which sure beats waiting on those checks and the fees that apply) or spend their money using the Electron Card or the Virtual account.

Success! (Pending verification.)

[sabaroth]

I don't get it. I applied to E-passporte since ARS no longer pays on paypal. Got approved. Now I can't get transfer the money to my (dutch)bankaccount, only to another E-cardholder?

[Rand]

Sabaroth,

You can also shop online with your Virtual account, or, you can use the Electron card to withdraw money from any ATM on the Visa or Plus system.

Yes. But, that amount can be adjusted.

[BlueQuartz]

Great stuff Rand

[Dr Bizzaro]

So I input all my info. Get my 2 deposits into my account.
I log back into the website to verify them.
The site tells me I have the wrong amounts. I try again and it tells me the same thing, only this time. I am locked out and I have to call.

After getting a sales rep that barely speaks English and spending 10 minutes giving her my username, I explained what I was trying to do. She then proceeds to tell me that I have to call my bank, to load my card.

???

After another 10 minutes of explaining again what I was looking to do, she put me on hold for 5 minutes.

Then she came back on and told me that that it was a mistake and they don't offer this feature. They will in the future, but not now. "Soon", she told me. "This is just for demo only".

I asked why a rep was telling me that it was functional and that I could sign up and she told me that he shoulndt have said that and it was a mistake.

Seems odd that the site wouldn't SAY, "THIS IS A DEMO". And why would they make the deposits into my account if t were just a demo? WTF?

Has anyone else been able to activate this? Should I call back or will that be another waste of 25 minutes?

[Greenguy]

DrB - I gave up after it told me I put the wrong amounts in & that I was locked out. I'm sorta glad I didn't waste my time
