It will go into the Wallet since the place incoming money is stored for all accounts now.

That's all great if the investments pay off, if the funds were invested in lets say, hmm, making movies, then this whole setup turns into a ponzi scheme? :upsidedow

This were changed earlier today.

For payments from sponsors you need to contact the sponsor we process their transactions within 3 hours from we receive it.

Anti money laundering laws = Suspend accounts without notice

Stupid, paypal does this too.

PSD 09-03-2010 04:35 PM

I am getting emails from programs suggesting I change from epassporte to something else but if I have my account set to wallet and withdraw directly to my checking account there should be no problem right or am I missing something here.

Michael, you have always been very helpful and I'm sure all us appreciate that! But, can you please explain us 2 things:

1. why are only wallet funds available for withdrawal?
2. when can we expect any further explanation like a public release about the whole epassporte visa problems?

thanks!

i'm pretty sure vast major part of their funds is already used for generating additional income, and it is probably invested in various funds, realty or stock market.

they are receiving wire transfers from one bank and only visa services are located in St. Kitts Nevis Anguilla National Bank. this bank but "on hold" their account (virtual visa funds) due to he new visa regulations, but "wallet" money is still available.

i'm pretty sure that's the main reason why their "wallet" money is not frozen and why we will be able to get a hold of it. just my :2 cents:

This is not correct any of it see post #877 that gives an good idea about how things work.

We arranged a wire transfer in epassporte, print, signed and send it by email.
When will you send it ?

Thanks for your time and help.

It takes us 1-2 business day to send wires for business accounts.
2-3 business days for personal accounts since they need to be reviewed by Account Verification we may have some delays this and next week due to the volume.

I don't give a shit. I have a few thousand in there, if it's a choice between giving it to a lawyer for a class action or letting Visa or Epassporte or the bank in Antigua eat it, I'm going with the lawyer.

Jman 09-03-2010 04:46 PM

I understand we cannot withdraw or purchase with the card but why can't epassporte just transfer all of their clients money sitting in VV in the wallet. If money is "safe" as per you guys then why can't you guys do that move?

1) the other funds are on the cards and Visa suspended the cards so we can not move funds to and from the cards.
2) As soon as we know more at the latest early next week.

Funds are safe, you can withdraw Wallet funds now if you wish but we expect to be back next week or have a different solution by then.

CPimp 09-03-2010 04:54 PM

So, it looks like we'll be waiting all weekend since Friday business hours are drawing to a close, especially in St Kitts?

Micheal, Why money is available if it is in Wallet and not available if it is in Virtual Visa?

1) actually scares me a bit. I don't understand how can VISA have the access to the funds. They must be located phisically somewhere, in the bank for example. From what I understand VISA only gives the bank the licence to issue the cards and use their network to operate on a global level. VISA by no means should have access to the money!! I might be seriously wrong on this, though, but I don't think so.

That means if the money is on VISA card, they are still in the bank laying somewhere, and if visa suspends the program, that doesn't mean the funds are frozen, right? VISA don't have any jurisdiction over the money sitting in one person's account that is only connected to VISA's network and can be used everywhere. If VISA withdraws its licence off that bank, money should still be in the account and not forfeited.

Please correct me if I am wrong...

KeyWord "now"

Stop spazzing out like little bitches and be reasonable. EP has been nothing but stand up even in the toughest of times. I trust EP. I trust the CEO's statement. I'm 95% sure this will be resolved within a reasonable time frame. And yes, there's a small chance your might lose your dear money. U know what? Eat a dick. Deal with it. Money is not everything. Go have fun this weekend. But please stop this disgusting crying.

P.S. Fuck VISA

As annoying as it is, let this question be asked by as many people that want to ask itand as many times that they want to.
Lots of people live from payment to payment and they are very nervous and possible desperate.

I like how I requested a wire of $xx,xxx from my account and now ePass has put my account into "Funds Protection Mode" for my security.

Yeah ... I ask for my money and they suspend my account. Wow. interesting.

Visa suspended the cards so its not possible to move funds to/from the cards.

your question has a good point. as far as i'm aware, St. Kitts Nevis Anguilla Bank put on hold all their funds on cards for some reason (I guess because VISA have been putting pressure on them with their new regulations). the bank can't legally steal this money, so it should be still in the bank. the rest of the money is probably in some other bank or another account which is not connected to visa services. this is just my lame explanation. someone correct me, please...

Please do not post incorrect information, see post #877 as an example on how things work and we have already stated that the money on the virtual cards are at St. Kitts

Understood but as the owner taking 5 minutes to write a personal post - direct from the horses mouth might make some people feel some level of comfort.
