Why put all your eggs in one virtual money basket?

LoL, what if you just LOST the card? What if someone cloned it and emptied your account? What if...?

You need to look after yourselves better.

In the meantime for money not tied up in this pay as you go credit card there are other options for accessing your funds.
Your reading comprehension needs a little work. Where did I say "ME"? I have not messaged Michael, I have not contacted epass. I lost $1K in this and I'm just moving on, the same as I did with Chio. I honestly don't believe anyone is going to get their money back. If you read all the pages of this thread, you would see a lot of people talking about their inability to pay their bills. They are speaking about using epass for everything. (eg: the adopted guy with no bank account etc.). There are a lot of people from other countries who use epass exclusively for being paid (designers, grunt workers etc.) All of those people are affected.

I am pretty sure that you are a reasonably intelligent individual and are perfectly capable of understanding that while you may not agree with some people using it exclusively, that does not mean they deserved this. The money they have in epass is THEIR money, and they have every right to be upset about it and every right to demand answers.

This is certainly not the time to pick on some of the people in this thread and take the 'I'm better than you because I knew better, and I have more options, and I'm smarter" attitude. Hindsight is 20/20, especially when epass is the ONLY option for some. In this industry, like all industries there are people with a lot of money, people with a moderate amount of money and some people barely making it. We should applaud them for at least trying to earn money, using the resources available to them and trying their best rather than sitting on their asses and having someone else support them.

I don't believe in kicking people when they are down but apparently from your post you do. You appear to enjoy taking opportunities like this to point out that you are smarter and wiser and better off than others. That isn't my style. I guess my mom raised me differently. I spoke out because I felt that Micheal needed to remember that for some people this situation is having an enormous impact on their lives and because of this, he shouldn't be "too busy" for them. It is called empathy...maybe you should try it sometime.

If you have your money in the e wallet, is it possible to withdraw to US checking account?. It has already said that it is not possible to withdraw from Visa virtual account, but what are the options when your $ is into the wallet? Are they the same in the US, EU and other countries? I think it would save a lot of messages if these options were explained and maybe sticky (?)

Yes this is my job, yes we have to make statements on whats going on because its in everyones interest because we will continue as a business and for that reason there are things we can not disclose.
There have been serious ups and downs in the 5 years I have been with ePassporte and both my superiors and colleagues have always been more than honest with me.

I am done with you on this board questions email me.
1. I never asked a question so there is no need to email you.
2. I never questioned your commitment, I did question your judgement on removing your banner.
3. You need a nap, apparently you get cranky when you don't get much sleep
4. I hope your girlfriend recovers soon.

Yes, it's been answered several times, you can withdraw the money from your wallet via wire, etc.

that does sound reasonable. i think we can still look for a positive outcome from this, it might take a little time though.

I belong to a financial community board and this is what is being said in regards to this.
--------------------------------


The reason for this move from Visa is most likely because of the new rules enforced by Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

New rules has come in place regarding debit pre paid cards, gift cards and reloadable top up cards. The rules, which were mandated by the Credit CARD Act of 2009, require more data collection and reporting from businesses, and some experts say they could make prepaid card buying a challenge for some consumers.

Starting June 28, the public will have 30 days to comment on the rules, which require nonbank prepaid card providers to:

Quote:

File suspicious activity reports (SARs) with the government on suspicious activity of more than $2,000. Suspicious Activities Reports are Treasury Department forms already required of banks, casinos, poker rooms, securities and futures firms and others in the money services business. More than 5.6 million have been filed since they were first mandated in 1996 (see chart). The proposed rule would add nonbank card providers to the ranks of those required to file forms with the government when their suspicions are aroused.
Collect customer information anytime a card is reloaded at someplace other than a bank.
Maintain transaction information.

The rule focuses on the following:

Quote:

Don't have the value clearly labeled on them.
Are reloadable at places other than banks.
Can have a maximum lifetime value of more than $1,000, including reloads.
Can be used anywhere -- especially if they can be used internationally.
Can have the value transferred to another card.
Are purchased in large amounts or seem otherwise suspicious.



Basically this is another terrorists anti-money laundry mumbo jumbo, but for now Epassporte is going to stay closed unless they will be able to comply with the new regulatations that came into force just a bit more than 30 days ago.


--------------------

Epassporte functionality that some may not know of:

All money that are kept in Epassporte are NOT, Visa. The two has nothing to do with each other. The gimmicks with Virtual Visa etc. has nothing to do with Visa. All money are at all times kept in the very same bank that Epassporte works together with.

All money are kept in the bank, which Epassporte uses as their intermedia for Visa as they do not directly hold any Visa license.

Epassporte holds an Deposit-taking business license on St. Kitts.

Since the bank that works together with Visa has lost their license, which in turn is due to the new regulations, Epassporte cannot issue new cards before they:

A) Find a new bank

B) Get a direct license from Visa, which they wont as Visa only works directly together with Banks

don't know the difference but found this post on the net:

"After a few phone calls.... It is my understanding that the problem is NOT with the ST Kitts bank....Visa has suspended only Epass pre-paid Visa accounts. (Virtual Visa etc)

They have not suspended the other VISA accounts at the ST Kitts bank

The concerns are as addressed by many prior posters. AML laws, who owns the underlying cards etc etc...."

Another quote - - -

There is clearly no doubt that Epassporte falls under the prepaid/gift card rules as they issue cards without being able to perform sufficient due diligence. Since Epassporte can be used by anyone in the world without anyone being checked, Epassporte will probably see the end of its operations for a long time to come.

These are the fees that are disclosed on your page:

Visa Physical/Plastic Card Account Fees
Visa Physical/Plastic Card Account Creation Fee: US$35.00
Visa Physical/Plastic Card Account Annual Renewal Fee : US$35.00
(Applied once every year after the account creation date)
ATM WIthdrawal Via Physical/Plastic Card: US$3.00

So as far as recurring fees, it lists one fee, the $35 / year renewal.

Instead, this is what you actually charge:


> > 03 May 2009 Electron Card Annual Fee $-35.00 $0.00
> >
> >
> > 01 Feb 2010 Electron Card Renewal raymor $-35.00 $0.00
> >
> > 01 Feb 2010 Electron Card Renewal raymor $-35.00 $0.00
> >
> > 12 Jan 2010 Electron Card Annual Fee $-35.00 $0.00

That's four fees for two cards, twice what's listed on your
"fees" page. Most of my messages sent via the support center were
pretty much ignored, people saying "we'll get back to you". On the
phone, Sunil eventually clearly admitted that ePassporte is charging
"undisclosed fees", but he refused to refund those fees. I may still
have the recording of that conversation (and admission) archived somewhere.
I advised Sunil that I had spoken to Patricia Reid-Waugh, Commissioner,
St. Kitts-Nevis Financial Services Commission, and she said she would
look into it. It appears that she or Visa has in fact looked into it
and found that, as ePassporte has admitted, they have been stealing
their customers' money. I told you guys the choice was simple - refund
the bogues "fee", or lose your processing. Seemed like an easy decision
to me.

Bye-bye epassporte. You guys fucked up good and the blame is on you and only you. Fuck all your bullshit responses... do your homework before you guys go into Ch 11 though.. you wouldn't want to fuck yourselves again. Oh wait.. probably is no such protection over there.

Did ePass not have a contract with Visa? It seems very strange that they had no warning on something this drastic. Surely whenever Visa agreed to the ePass cards everything had to be in writing. And even if the law changes and Visa has to cut them off, surely they would have to have their legal dept. work out the contractal issues before just cutting things off.

To initiate the transfer to your ePassporte Wallet, go to "My Account," select the "Transfer Money" option from the navigation bar, and click the "Wallet To/From Visa Virtual" button."



So I left all mine in virtual visa, cause you guys left out By keeping your funds on the ePassporte Wallet, you ensure that your funds are protected in the event your Visa Virtual Account or Visa Electron Card is ever lost, stolen, or compromised through a stolen database, a merchant, or an ATM OR VISA SHUTS US DOWN AND FREEZES ALL YOUR MONEY. If I had known that then maybe I would've used the wallet
No shitman...My statement earlier is the same. These fucking people have 100 ways to fuck you..

First of all I think we should cut Michael some slack, he is clearly the messenger here and if it wasn't for him we would be completely in the dark. I am 100% sure he is trying to do whatever lies within his power. It is so easy for a company going down the shitter to just not communicate anymore and leave everything behind (well in most cases except the funds then).

I don't know the setup and structure of epassporte in detail but i do know a lot about offshore constructions and credit cards. Working with offshore companies and trust companies in between does not make it easier to get such a setup.

Visa debit cards are issued by Visa through financial institutions, mostly banks. These cards are linked to a corporate account which needs to be funded equally or more of the combined balances on the cards. So if you have 100 cards out there with a combined balance of let's say 50k, the bank who issued those cards has a bank account somewhere with a balance of 50k.

The problem with the wallet and visa "accounts" is that money in the wallet is accounted for on the bank account of epassporte self. Therefore epassporte should have no problem paying out those funds.

Your balance on the visa card is different, an equal amount of funds is located on a bank account at the St. Kitts National Bank linked to the big corporate visa account. At this moment this bank account is probably seized or suspended.

The problem is not caused by epassporte itsself, it is created by the fact St Kitts National Bank has either lost their Visa contract or has to deal with another sort of problem: funds being seized because of legal issues.

If the St Kitts national bank indeed lost their visa account that would mean that they are not allowed to issue new Visa cards or offer customers the functionality to withdraw money through visa cards. This has nothing to do with the funds though as the funds are most likely still in the bank, it is just that the option to withdraw through visa is suspended. Such actions are often communicated well in advance with several warnings, in case Visa has the impression St Kitts National Bank has other, probably legal, issues that might a good reason too.

The other option is that St Kitts National Bank seized all their accounts preventing a bank run for example. I find that unlikely. St. Kitts National Bank is part of the ECIC Holdings Ltd which a consortium of 10 banks in the area which recently were in the news for rescuing the TCI Bank which went into forced liquidation. Again your funds should still be with the bank then, the only problem is then that nobody including Visa or epassporte is able to access, in which case Visa has a good reason to suspend the withdrawal. In this case epassporte will probably try to regain access to the funds and find a new Visa issuing bank to continue operations.

The St. Kitts National Bank (or fully: St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank Ltd) falls under the Eastern Carribean Central Bank. I couldn't find the warranties and insurances the central bank issues yet but i am pretty sure you can't compare it to western standards.

So in my opinion you can't really blame epassporte at this moment, maybe only for the fact they relied solely on the St Kitts National Bank.

Bitchting at the situation or persons is useless at this moment, the only thing you can do here it withdraw funds on your wallet and be patient till further useful information is released from epassporte (or a newspaper in case you read that the St Kitts National Bank went under supervision or filed bankruptcy which let's hope won't happen)


Please note that I am not affiliated with epassporte in any way, I am just posting my thoughts

(Applied once every year after the account creation date)
ATM WIthdrawal Via Physical/Plastic Card: US$3.00

So as far as recurring fees, it lists one fee, the $35 / year renewal.

Instead, this is what you actually charge:

That's four fees for two cards, twice what's listed on your
"fees" page. Most of my messages sent via the support center were
pretty much ignored, people saying "we'll get back to you". On the
phone, Sunil eventually clearly admitted that ePassporte is charging
"undisclosed fees", but he refused to refund those fees. I may still
have the recording of that conversation (and admission) archived somewhere.
I advised Sunil that I had spoken to Patricia Reid-Waugh, Commissioner,
St. Kitts-Nevis Financial Services Commission, and she said she would
look into it. It appears that she or Visa has in fact looked into it
and found that, as ePassporte has admitted, they have been stealing
their customers' money. I told you guys the choice was simple - refund
the bogues "fee", or lose your processing. Seemed like an easy decision
to me.
look!, it's all his fault!!



I'm just messing with you, but come on, what were you thinking even suggesting that you may have something to do with all this drama....

If a customer wants to make a large withdrawal, they usually need to arrange that 2 days in advance.

So, probably no large loss from an in and out bank heist.

The maximum amount you may withdraw within a 24 hour period is $1020 USD. We apologize for the inconvenience and short notice. Should you have additional questions or concerns, please send a message to Account Holder Services via the message center.

Found this take on the matter at Italkcash, which is scary as Hell:

"I would say Epassporte has a huge problem now.

If it shows that Visa shut down their bank due to Epassporte, then Epassporte will most likely never be able to conduct any business with Visa. It all basically depends on how "toxic" Epassporte is in Visa's eyes.

They could go to Mastercard, but thats more or less the same thing as those two companies are sharing each others mothers too.

If Epassporte is not toxic and they only lost their bank, they still will face trouble.

A) Either they find a new bank on the very same Island under the same license/legislation

or

B) They start over on another Island, which means re-applying for a license to conduct e-money business online. This cannot be done within 3 months even on a small Island.

B1) Then contact a bank to start issuing cards, which will take months to work out

C) They apply to become a full bank
C1) Then they have to apply directly to Visa for a Visa license
C2) Or they would have to go to a wholesale BIN Visa/Mastercard bank

No matter the route Epassporte will be shut down for the next 3 months most likely. And if they are toxic, then none of the above will work. Visa will simply prevent any bank from working with Epassporte."

Hoping the best for all you ePass users!

Sally.

Eight warnings over six months from us, and only they know how many other complaints.
Over and over they were told "you are stealing from all of your customers. You need to stop."
"You need to stop stealing from your customers, or someone will make you stop."
"People have the name and phone number of the regulator who can make you stop, does
someone really have to call her?" "People are going to complain to Visa if you don't refund
what you've stolen." We gave them every opportunity, months and months, to take care of it,
or hell at least make an excuse or something. How long do you go on with them saying
"yeah, we're stealing from everyone and we're going to keep doing it and fuck you all"?
Somebody was eventually going to bust their balls if they just wouldn't stop stealing from
all of us.
