As of July 1st... ePassporte changed their deposit bank for loading
ePassporte accounts. It used to be Fortis Bank (Curacao) NV and they changed it to United International Bank NV - Both Banks are from St.Kitts but are not the St.Kitts Nevis Anguilla National Bank. - Mr. Antonio Torres is Managing Director at United International Bank NV. - United International Bank N.V. Curaçao, Netherlands Antillen Tel: 599-9-733-1881 Fax: 599-9-767-0057 As of September 1st... In an effort to comply with Visa's new ATM limit requirements, ePassporte limited ATM withdrawls to $1020.00 per day. - Damage control that seemed to be too late As of 12:00 pm PDT September 2nd... Visa suspended ePassportes banking partner's (St.Kitts Nevis Anguilla National Bank) *ePassporte Visa program*. At this time ePassporte can no longer issue Visa cards and all existing cards are suspended...No charges or ATM withdrawls. - It seems to say ePassportes Visa program was suspended and not exactly the banks Visa connection??? But that bank is not looking good eitherway. At 10:48 am PDT September 3rd, ePassporte sent out email to inform account holders of this issue. - 23 hours and 12 minutes after the suspension was imposed. At 1:24 pm European time September 3rd... I did a wire from a Wallet account back to my original Loading bank account and have not gotten any response from ePassporte at all...it is now 10:30 pm European time or direct link http://m.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=985256 |

Also found this although I have no clue whether or not it is relevant:
"BASSETERRE, St. Kitts ? LEGAL action has been brought against the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), five regional banks and the government of Antigua and Barbuda by a group of Stanford investors who claim they lost big after the ?unlawful seizure? of the Bank of Antigua. The Stanford Victims Coalition filed a class-action lawsuit in the US District Court in Dallas, Texas against the Caribbean financial institutions, complaining that the ECCB?s intervention in the Bank of Antigua was unlawful because the bank was of significant value to the victims. Regional banks include the Antigua Commercial Bank, the St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank, Eastern Caribbean Financial Holdings (Bank of St Lucia), the National Commercial Bank (St Vincent and the Grenadines) and the National Bank of Dominica ? institutions that joined together to run the affairs of the Bank of Antigua after its Chairman Allen Stanford had been charged with fraud by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 17, 2009."

Most of the time the phone number was either busy or unavailable. I was able to get thru them after the business hours and all I was getting was the automatic phone system... I'd really love to hear what they have to say...

Fucking hell...
This not only is a problem on itself but on the future (snowball effect due to the fucking damage it creates each day that passes by) I really want to believe things will get somehow sorted, but at this moment and looking back at the past of the Adult Online Industry, even having a limited withdrawing cap (like happened with banks that went bust but...were insured) seems highly unlikely or ridiculous.. This can fuck up (more in the terms of future than what we got in our accounts yadda yadda) a lot of people and sadly I fit (at least in part) in that group.. Great times...great timing...fucking hell... |

You think those numbers are impressive??? WTF??? that is NOT PROFIT!! Do you not even posses the simplest business knowledge?? I have 2 employees and over 1000 domains/sites spread across a number of dedicated servers... what do you fucking think pays for all that? Use your fucking head dude before you go spitting out shit you obviously know nothing about.. If I take in 2k, 5k, etc most of it goes out for domain renewals hosting, employees.. and if I do things right there is something left over for me. Not that it is any of your business but I make on average between100k-120k a year after expenses.. (which is nothing at all to brag about, especially when that is my wife and myself making it.. which puts us a 50k-60k each). Still think I am bragging? because that is certainly nothing to brag about. And while the immediate effects are not an issue with me right now, it is tomorrow I worry about... due to attempting to find a replacement source for payments. LOL.. I did not mean it to sound that way, I realize the value of $300.. I meant it in the grand scheme of things when he was calling those of us idiots who would ever have more than $300 in epass at a time. There are legitimate reasons for having large sums of money in epassporte in order to conduct daily business...

I didn't get paid at all. 6 hours late.
I really rationed a few loaves of bread LAST week, was hanging out for this pay. $2.40 in 5 cent pieces and cup of rice is all I have! Black coffee tomorrow. I had to sell AffiliateProgram.Biz for $20 which should come in Tuesday. But I live in a holiday apartment, I can't bludge a weeks rent, sleeping in the car without even any petrol this week. I did score CamAffiliate.com but very bad timing for me. |

Bad shit, but the problems may be resolved next week, feel sorry for the people who had all in epass, but people if they can, need to not put all eggs in one basket, just incase things like this happen, like 365 billing too. I hope things get resolved real quick.......

I am pretty sure they can find a solution to this problem. The only concern I have is the money's availability! If it's available outside of VISA program, then we should be safe and we should get our money on one way or another.
If the money is totally blocked/frozen in the bank, then the hopes go down... I can be patient and wait, just let it be good news after all...

found this:
By Tom Hymes Sep 3rd, 2010 SANTA MONICA, Calif.?In response to a call from AVN seeking further clarification on the sudden suspension by Visa of the ability by ePassport?s West Indies-based bank?St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank Ltd.?to process Visa transactions, ePassporte?s business account manager called to comment on the situation. ?The problem,? he said, ?is not our bank. Our bank is perfectly fine. Everybody?s money is safe. The issue is literally with Visa. Visa functionality is the only thing that?s down, which means eCards and vCards. We are working to resolve the issue and we will have a resolution by next week, but at this point in time we don?t have any more information and we will contact everyone as soon as we do have any update at all.? When asked about the increasing concern among some ePassporte clients that their money might remain inaccessible for some time to come, leading them to seek alternative means of delivery, he said, ?I think the most important thing right now is for people to be patient until we have a solution. I wouldn?t move any [funds] at this point, because by the time you would receive a wire we?ll either have Visa functionality back up or we will have found another solution. ?The problem,? he added, ?is that yesterday we were given about an hour?s notice of the situation, so there really wasn?t enough time for us to prepare any sort of documented statements other than the message that came from our CEO and owner, Christopher Mallick. ?There?s nothing to worry about," he stressed. "It?s an issue with Visa, not with our bank. All of our functions outside of Visa are working perfectly. If people?s funds are in their wallets, they can feel free to contact customer service and do a wire disbursement, but if they can wait, that would be my recommendation. I wouldn?t make any hasty decisions. But we?re not going anywhere; there?s nothing wrong with the business. This was an unforeseen issue, and we?re not exactly sure where it came from on Visa?s side.? Before hanging up, he once again expressed his hope that calm would prevail over the long holiday weekend, after which the company expects that the situation will be quickly resolved. ?There really is nothing to be panicked about,? he said. ?We just have to be patient and see what the solution is. All I can say is that if we had been given more notice, we obviously would have been better prepared and would have contacted all of our clients beforehand.? In the meantime we have learned that several affiliate programs have sent letters to their affiliates notifying them that they are temporarily suspending the use of ePassporte until the Visa issues are resolved, and recommending that people log in to their accounts and change their payment options to either checks or wire transfers.

The Electron card expiration date follows the virtual card and you pay the Renewal fee when your virtual card renews. You pay the Annual fee every 2 years from when you ordered the Electron card. For example: I order Virtual card on September 1st 2010 I order Electron on Feb 1st 2011 I then pay: Sept. 2012 Renewal Feb 2013 Annual Sept 2014 Renewal Feb 2015 Annual Its out of sync but over a 4 year period for example you only pay 1 fee a year. For example I pay both my fees in December every 2nd year My card expires 12/11 and I pay both the annual and renewal fee in Dec last year and will not pay anything this year and then 2 fees again in Dec 2011 I hope this cleared it up for you if you are not aware of how the system works its easy to misunderstand whats going on. In your example you would pay next time once in 2011 and 3 times in 2012 so see it evens out,

Instead they did nothing of the sort and hoped that the human nature behind bank runs would NOT prevail. They are officially fucked as a payment processor with how they've handled this, with no offense to Michael O since it obviously wasn't his call on how to handle this situation. The proper damage control was to actually control the damage, not try to tell people not to panic...that's just fucking stupid.

Why when we load Funds from a checking account, does it go to the virtual account and not the wallet.

I went to change my wallet settings to default to wallet but I see wallet is already checked even though I never selected it before and there is no other option. Was this option changed to wallet for everyone after this incident occured and the option to select Visa no longer made available?

Why in the hell would any company be using "St Kitts National Bank ". Unless if you are doing something that prevents you from doing business with a bank in the US, Europe, Canada etc.... Epass was involved with processing for gambling right? Who uses banks like St Kitts National Bank ??? Seems risky to me. Wouldn't it be safer to use a US based bank or at least one in Europe?

From what I read in this thread, it makes sense for epassporte to freeze the virtual accounts.
If their VISA functionality was cut off and if they have to keep the VISA money as a reserve at all times, they simply cannot release the money. Even if they have access to their account, they cannot do so. If they allowed the transfer to the wallet, then they would no longer be covered. So assuming that the info is true and their bank is healthy and it is only a VISA problem for epass (and not the bank), then the only way to release the funds in the virtual account is to fix the problems with VISA or to abandon the credit card business entirely (which would no longer require them to keep a reserve).

When has anything good come out of a 3rd party processor being shut down by visa? Never. It never turns out good. I hope I am wrong here, time will tell if this happens like all the other times. I hope Chris gets on here and takes the shit if/when that does happen. Not fair for Michael to get the brunt of the shit when he was not cause to the problem in any kind of way.
