Got my Paxum card in the mail today.
 

That was pretty fast. Only took about 2 weeks. And the card is pretty cool looking.

congrats!

Is there a good reason to have one? How does it benefit you?

basically it is like epass was. You can take your money out at ATMS or use the card in stores if you want.

awesome news! :thumbsup

kill yourself delusional sad faggot.

Oh, and for the record so far my Paxum experience has been very smooth. I signed up and they verified my account in less than a day. I sent an email question about something and heard back right away. So far I really like what I see. Seems like a great service.

YUp. Got mine yesterday as well..fast :)

Do you have a reason not to use a bank or have a bank issued card?

Congrats!! waiting for mine!!!

are you serious? or are you just trying to stir shit up?

i'm going for the latter :)

I am serious...I have never used anything other than a bank and would not do so.

Not at all. I have a bank that I have been with for nearly 10 years and a debit card from them I use all the time. But getting paid by epass was faster than waiting for a check. I also do a lot of freelance work for people, many of whom live outside the US and it was easier for them to pay me via epass. So I would just get the cash in epass, take it out at the atm and deposit it into my bank (or sometimes just do a bank transfer to my account.)

The card just gives me more flexibility and convenience.

So you have never needed to pay a designer or anyone that offers a service?
Or if you have they all waited around for a check or wire?

Also not everyone is able to walk into a bank and cash a check instantly....and some people do need that money instantly.

With paxum you can get your sponsor to pay you - and you can go straight to an ATM and take out $2,500 per day.

I am live in the states and I dont use checks. Too much hassle of it getting "lost" or the check turning out bad and sometimes my bank even makes me wait no matter how much money i have with them

So i can just get money in my paxum account and have it when i want it :)

P2P transfers

Reasonable explanation. I do not have a need for a third party account and did not know that you do.

i really am having a hard time buying that you dont see a need for a p2p system. I have never had a designer tell me he is cool with waiting for me to send him a check.

I pay by check...wire or credit card. I get paid by check or wire. My bank will make me wait on a check if it is not written on their bank...but waiting is not a problem for me.

Sure I do. Here is he scenario. Say I do some work for someone from Bosina (or anywhere not in the US). They write me a check an send it when the job is done. So I wait between 7-10 working days for the check to arrive and then I deposit it and my bank holds it for another 7-10 working days to make sure it clears. So it could be up to a month from the time I finish doing the work before I actually have cash in my account. I suppose then that I don't NEED the third party account because I could just wait for the check, but the third party account means I can have the money in my hand within a couple of days instead of potentially weeks.

for me it is about convenience. I am willing to pay a few dollars in fees for the convenience of having this payment option and a lot of the people I do work for would rather pay me this way than write a check.

Where did I state that I don't see the need. I do not have a need for it but it is apparent that some people have a need for it. I did not know that Kane has a need for it.

i am waiting for mine , yeyyyyyyyyy
