Virtual Visa cards.
 

anyone have any info on these?

any providers other then epassporte?
how widely accepted are they?
are thier any limiting provisions about thier usage?

any other interesting things i might need or want to know about them?

http://www.parex.net/ <- they are pretty good at it

If they are truly backed by visa they should be 100% acceptable anywhere visa is.

it depends on what you mean by: "anonymous Visa cards". There is no such thing. There are debit cards, credit cards and atm cards. Even ATM cards (Visa Electron cards) will require that you provide documentation on who is the owner of that card. Parex will require a pile of documents from you. each card has to be assigned to a person (even if they are issued to companies). your passport, signature and life story has to be on file with the bank. If the cards are issued to a company, you need to include a description of your business and explanation of why you need the cards, when they will be used, how often, how many deposits, how many withdrawals etc... even if your name is not on the card - same is true for each card holder or for each card issued even if they are issued to a company.

dont think that any country entering the EU is going to protect your privacy in any way.

I'm still looking for somewhere that accepts cheques and offers a cash/atm card. Anything that doesn't charge stupid fees would do. Current UK banks are no good because either the fees to cash US cheques are too high or I wouldn't get an account with them for stuff like commercial accounts. Oh....and Yambo is out of the question. Currently unusable and shaky at best.

Any ideas?

i guess i was way wrong since you did not say "anonymous" sorry for that. i hate those conversations. people may as well say "hi, i am a cocaine dealer and weapons exporter, how can i move money around undetected"

it would depend where you are. the best thing would probably be to open an account in the States or Canada if you want an atm/debit card and to be able to deposit checks. Most banks will require that you are there in person to open the account. US banks are pretty fucked because you cant do international wires online from personal accounts.

whats wrong with Barclays or some other bank like that which has everything you need? If the fee for cashing checks is high, it would have to be weighed against having to wait a very long time for a US check to clear in a foreign bank which can be really ugly too, if you need that money in a regular and constent manner.
