2. It's TOOOOO expensive ($50 fee for outgoing checks, $5 fee for every $100 loading/unloading, etc.)

Oops, almost missed this.
CVV2 support is required by Visa at this point in the processing world, unless I am mistaken. That does not mean that every bank is compliant, just that they should be. I have a Paypal Mastercard and interestingly enough, IT CANT be used to buy airline tickets on certain airlines because it is NOT compliant and the airline is.
For your own accounts, there are a couple of things we require to verify if your card that you are attempting to load with is not CVV2 compliant, and if you need to discuss this then please email me regarding it --

As far as too expensive, these fees are based on cc loading of the ePassporte account, once we get clearance from all parties on ACH load and offload, the fees for those types of loads will be structured accordingly. We are not in the check writing business and given how easy it is to spend your money in your ePassporte account -- since your account is automatically assigned a Virtual Visa number, unlike the 60 day wait with Paypal -- we find most people use their money... for everything from buying plane tickets or books to paying their utility bills online with the Virtual Visa number.
One more time, no system is perfect and if there were one system that were right for every scenario then there would only be one system...
