“At the request of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank (SKNA), on September 2, 2010, Visa blocked network access for prepaid cards issued by SKNA and operated by ePassporte.com to address certain program deficiencies. ePassporte.com is a third-party agent that works with SKNA.
“It is important to note that impacted SKNA prepaid cardholders are still able to access their funds through SKNA or SKNA’s agent, ePassporte.com. For more information cardholders should contact SKNA or ePassporte.com.
“Visa is committed to maintaining the integrity of its global payment network and routinely conducts due diligence to ensure Visa prepaid programs adhere to the company’s stringent program requirements and controls.”

The way I understand this then...it was not an action initiated by Visa but was an action initiated by the bank...thus it appears that the bank has a problem with the epassporte account. It also sounds to me that people should be able to withdraw their money that was on the epassporte Visa account with the bank either via epassporte or the bank...providing the money is in fact still there and has not been raided.
If MO is just a rep for epassporte...it is time for the CEO of the company to come up with an explanation. The skies are beginning to grow darker.
