$.25 for a p2p
$5 anually for the virtual card.
$35 yearly for the Electron card.
$2 per withdrawal using the electron card
Load fee $5 per $100
No fee for receiving money
$35 for lost/stolen/damaged/worn out electron card
withdaw to bank account (is there a fee?)

we get charged for everything, and crappy CS. thats why alot of people are mad and feel like they're getting the crappy end of the stick. my 'constructive critisism' is to cut us some slack in fees. theres a fee for everything. now we know ya'll gotta make money & we understand fraud prevention and all that jazz but some of those charges are laughable at best.

i'm paying $35 a year (and per card, essentially) so that i can get charged a $2 fee everytime i wanna take a (maxium daily limit) via an atm, not to mention getting charged $1.50 fee for the bank at which the atm is at.

sounds like we're getting bent over for fee after fee.

ePassporte is a business and it costs money to run a business and in the end I think the owner would like a profit just like with every other business.

1. Yes but it costs money to process the transaction.
2. its $.25
3. The ATM where you withdraw the money sets the exchange rate and the cases I've looked into when someone complained about a bad exchange rate its normally less than 1% difference from the official exchange rate.
4. The new version of the Electron card that have been sent out over the last year looks a lot better and like a normal card.
5. Like I mentioned a couple of times ePassporte is a business and money have to be made somewhere. I know I still save hundreds every year by using ePassporte instead of having to cash foreign checks.

Oh, I know that epassporte needs to make money, but $35 for a card that costs mayber $1.00 to make? Hell, with the 2 banks that I deal with I can get a replacement card at anytime and for free. Ya, I pay a fee to take money out with my normal bank debit card.. $1.50 Canadian to be exact. All I'm saying is that this card is not worth anywhere close to the $35 epassporte charges its users/clients. I have the new card and they may look better than the old ones, but they are still the same quality pretty much. What I think many people want to know is how does epassporte justify charging people $35 for a piece of plastic that once it expires they have to pay that $35 again.. If they lose if, they pay. If they break it, they pay. If they card gets worn out, they pay. so the electron card costs $30 and the virtual card which is nothing but an imaginary thing costs $5.. So, ya, with those fees alone epassporte makes a fortune. A ONE time $35 fee would be more reasonable.

How much $ would epassporte lose if they issued free cards? Next to nothing is what they would lose. I'm not bashing epassporte in any way. I like epassporte, but I just think that these fees are ridiculous. Lets look at things for a sec.

1. ePassporte card - $35 (and you must pay this every year. lose your card you pay again etc..)
bank card - free (never pay to get a replacement)

2. Cost to take $ out at an ATM using ePassporte electron - $2.00
Cost to take $ out with my bank debit (with naks I deal with) - $1.50 Canadian

the .25 cent transfer fee is no big deal.. I mean, it's only 25 cents lol
