ePassporte Official Statment
From: Christopher Mallick, Owner, ePassporte.com <http://ePassporte.com>
Dear ePassporte Account Holders, Please be advised that, at 12:00 PM PDT today, September 2, 2010, we were notified that effective immediately, Visa International has suspended our banking partner?s (St. Kitts Nevis Anguilla National Bank) ePassporte Visa program. The ePassporte e-Wallet program continues to be up and running, except funds cannot be transferred between your Visa Account and your e-Wallet. At this time ePassporte can no longer issue Visa Cards, and the ability for our Account Holders to make point of sale purchases and withdraw funds from ATMs has also been suspended. At this time we do not know why this drastic action was taken by Visa. To us, it is unconscionable that such action would be taken without the opportunity for ePassporte to fully understand Visa?s reasons and to be able to take all steps necessary to keep our program running the way it has so successfully done for over 7 years. But that is what Visa has done. As soon as we have more information we will be in contact with you. In the meantime please be assured that your funds are safe. We are very sorry for the short notice and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The ePassporte team is working diligently to rectify this situation. We kindly ask you to bear with us while we work through this issue. Please feel free to contact us via the message center or at our call center, should you have any questions, comments or concerns. Thank You, Christopher Mallick |
Please email me at [email protected] and I will do my best to respond as quickly as possible. It will probably be the best option since IM will be very busy.
Thanks Michael |
We can still witdraw our epass funds to our bank accounts... right?

christ that's not good
|
Michael so this means even if its not in ewallet you still cannot withdraw any funds from an atm machine even in the UK
|
..............
|
Michael I was just about to hit you up asking for a new visa card.
guess there's no point right now until this mess gets sorted out... :( |

there going to be many upset folks over this news |
dammitttttttttt

this sounds like the type of thing that doesn't get resolved quickly...
if that's even the real story. |
So how can a Canadian get access to the money now?

btw, if you listen closely you can hear epassporte imploding |
If the money are on the Wallet you can withdraw via wire, a US bank account or to a credit/debit card in your name.
If the funds are on the Virtual Visa its not possible to access them at this time. |
I'm not very familiar with epass so I am a little unclear as to what exactly this means and how it may impact me.
Right now I have one sponsor paying to my epass, I then use that money solely for paying other people for services. Nothing more. Will this new situation impact me at all? |

Wow...I had gone to the ATM earlier today to make a withdraw and received some weird error. I go to login to activate the ATM Limits so that I could go try again and I see this message.
What the hell happened? Errrrrrrrrr I have funds in my account that I can no longer access via ATM. Unreal. I have used ePassporte for years, sure as hell did not expect this. Is this an issue that will be sorted out at some point? Fucking great... :disgust |
how do i change a US checking account i have already in peassporte?
|
We are working on getting this situation solved as soon as possible so our Account Holders again will have full functionality of their accounts.

I just realized that all of my funds in epassporte are in my Virtual Visa account. So what does this mean for me? That I no longer have access to do anything with the funds at all?

First, how can you guys not have a "plan b" for something this drastic?
Second, why visa over mastercard? Lastly, would now be a good time for more programs to offer payoneer? |
So that means all my money in epassw i cant take out because I cant take it out via atm anymore? Thats illegal actually and there better be another way for me to get my money asap...
|
Guys, read the man's fucking post......
"At this time ePassporte can no longer issue Visa Cards, and the ability for our Account Holders to make point of sale purchases and withdraw funds from ATMs has also been suspended." |
I was just going to buy some domains and I got declined twice in a row and then I logged in at epass and saw this...
hope it will get solved soon! |
Funds on the Virtual card can not be accessed at this time cause Visa have suspended the cards, only funds in the Wallet can be accessed.

I went to fill out the form to wire myself some money but I cannot because some fields aren't applicable to canadian residents
We don't have IBAN numbers and pretty sure we don't have "Originator's TIN(SSN or EIN)" |
