    Check is not an option here, did not see any since the 1990's. My bank is internet only in addition, no physical offices and nowhere to deposit checks.
    The first and only wire I ever received from Paxum (on the way out) seems to have come from a third party company "DEK-CO (UK) LTD." So even wires are done via another company rather than directly.

So I do understand its a pain for them having to choose that method, or wait for a higher min and pay the International wire fees.
        Yep, this is correct.

          I'm surprised that CCBill is not stepping in to be a viable option for mass payouts here.

            Dear Accountholder,

            Due to recent developments involving the prepaid card component of our international banking business, Choice Bank Ltd. (“the Bank”) has been forced into a temporary liquidity constrained position.

            With a view to enable the Bank to manage cash flows in an orderly fashion to work through the current liquidity situation, in the interest of depositors and other creditors as a whole, the Bank has taken the decision in its view as a matter of necessity, with immediate effect, to temporarily suspend all withdrawals from deposit accounts with the Bank and other outbound payment activities (save for payment of employees, suppliers essential for core operations, consultants and advisers) until the Bank and/or its relevant regulatory authorities (as the case may be) are satisfied that such suspension is no longer required.

            The Bank maintains a strong balance sheet with total equity including paid up capital and accumulated retained earnings in excess of US$26 million, a most recent reported regulatory capital ratio of 26.92%, and statutory liquidity ratio of 74.59%, such ratios significantly exceeding all statutory capital adequacy and liquid asset requirements. The liquidity challenges the Bank currently faces is truly a short-term one. As it progresses through this process, the Bank is confident that all its depositors, cardholders and creditors will be kept whole.

            We thank you for your patience and understanding and apologize for any inconveniences caused.

            Yours sincerely,

            Paradise Point Building
            Corner Hutson Street and Marine Parade Boulevard
            Ground Floor, P.O. Box #2494
            Belize City, Belize, Central America
            Note the email says "most recent reported", which could mean annual or quarterly reporting. Their current numbers may look very different. Given the recent collapse of crypto prices, it's possible Choice Bank is holding crypto as a cash equivalent with significant unrealized losses.

              BitCoin down $10,000 since highs in September.

              The others are down as well.

              It is still up from a year ago, but the major part of the "Pump And Dump" scenario played out between September and December.

              If they rode the wave of the hype in September, they lost a lot of money...

                I would say it seems unlikely that a "bank" would use their customer's funds to speculate in high risk investments, but hey......didn't something like that already happen?

                  "Attention GetSCORECash Affiliates:

                  FirstChoice Pay (formerly known as Payoneer) and Paxum have issued statements that all withdrawals and outbound payments are suspended. The reason given by Paxum and FirstChoice Pay is that the financial institution they are use, Choice Bank Ltd, is in a “liquidity-constrained position”. The situation with both companies is very fluid and developing.

                  Until resolution in this matter becomes clear, GetSCORECash is suspending both options in our payout methods for the protection of our affiliates. If your affiliate account with GetSCORECash is setup to payout with either Paxum or First Choice Pay (Payoneer), then payout to your account will be placed on hold.

                    Well that's not true as paxum has only stopped card loading and everything else there should work fine.

                                    It's not unlikely. Banks make money by investing the majority of their customers' deposits. Only a portion of it is kept liquid to service their customers' accounts.

                                    Yes, it did happen. You may recall the global banking crisis from 10 years ago, when many banks were investing in high risk mortgages, lending money to anyone who wanted to buy property, regardless of their creditworthiness. Borrowers were getting 100% mortgage financing, with no money down, to buy overpriced homes.

                                      Just withdrew the remaining funds from First Choice Pay from an ATM in New York City. No problem.

                                      After I spend the last few remaining dollars I cannot withdraw I am cutting the card in half.

                                      Bye bye First Choice Pay!

                                        Yes, it did happen. You may recall the global banking crisis from 10 years ago, when many banks were investing in high risk mortgages, lending money to anyone who wanted to buy property, regardless of their creditworthiness. Borrowers were getting 100% mortgage financing, with no money down, to buy overpriced homes.
                                        Yes, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, it's obvious they don't have cash to cover all customer's funds. It was more a facetious jab at Chris Mallick "investing" our money into a movie that flopped. That's incredibly high risk.

                                          This past week has been an incredible drain on energy...

                                          Not getting paid by some programs, because they could not load money to FCP.

                                          Working with Programs that not only haven't updated member payout methods in years, but the webpage interface to do so doesn't work all these years later.

                                          Some Programs don't list Paxum. So now there's no EFT option.

                                          And that's just 10 of 50 I need to check.

                                          So any nonsense about "Sorry for the inconvenience" just doesn't cut it.

                                            I just withdrew about $1k from my FCP card in an ATM in Norway, no problems here at least.

                                            Now to select where to get future payments, seems like Paxum and EFT bank withdrawal is the best choice (my country is supported), don't really need any card. I need the money in my account to pay taxes. Paper checks is not an option here.

                                              If you still have few $ on it you can use it on aliexpress to buy some stuff... I was also able to link that card on my paypal account.

                                                  FCP "IS" the bank, FCP is a direct service from ChoiceBank. So, FCP is gone forever. Paxum is different, Paxum was using ChoiceBank service for their card. That service being no longer avail, they are simply switching their card service provider.

                                                    So i can safely apply to Paxum as my new credit card company where i can recieve payments from Chaturbate?

                                                            Chaturbate has for some time.

                                                            If you don't have 2 Step Verification enabled, you will need to.

                                                                I still have more than 10k $ on my Firstchoice account but my debit card only has 1,6 K $ on it. How can i get my hands on the rest of the funds?
                                                                I don't know, when I was receiving funds to my FCP it was automatically loaded to card. didn't even know they had some kind of wallet. Man if the money is not on the card it ain't going to be easy. start by contacting them. According to their statement their suppose is still operational...

                                                                  At the moment they can't load your card anymore because all their accounts (with the money on it) are "frozen". You (and many people) have to wait until that "liquidity-constraint" is over. Nobody knows why the bank is in a liquidity-constraint position. Do they have financial problems or does it have something to do with FirstChoicePay. My guess is the second, because they closed FirstChoicePay very fast after the constraint.
