Is ePassporte safe enough to store some real money? - GoFuckYourself.com

FuqALot · 08-25-2005, 03:03 PM

Did anyone ever had their ePassporte closed? Is there a paypal-like warning page somewhere? Any experiences with some real money in ePassporte accounts? Thnx.

Hmm if they need ID at $5,000 then I guess they are not really used to anything.

I wouldn't trust too much money with them.

You got your ePassporte closed?
I only need one person that had his account closed for a stupid reason to decide if I'm going to use them.

JayJay · 08-25-2005, 03:39 PM

What do you need to send them when you hit 5k?

synapse · 08-25-2005, 03:43 PM

We have both personal and biz accounts with them, and yes you need to send them photo ID, but we've had *a lot* more then 10k in there at a time and they've always been great with support ... personally I feel 100% comfortable with them

(i) a photocopy of a government-issued ID with your picture on it and

(ii) photocopies of the front and back of the credit card or debit card which was
last used to add funds to your ePassporte account. [Important Note: If you have
not loaded your account with a debit or credit card before, a copy of the front/back
of any debit or credit card would suffice, as long as the name matches that on your
ePassporte account. Alternatively, a copy of a utility bill (Ex. electricity, gas,
or phone bill) would suffice, as long as the name and address matches that on your
ePassporte account.].

Its bad for real money, perfect for fake money

I bet dozens of people decided to keep only $4999 max in their epass accounts after reading this thread ;)

BitAudioVideo · 08-25-2005, 05:08 PM

i thought the it was for doing transactions over 5k,not for an account balance over... it may be different with business and personal accounts, i have business.
epassporte is affiliated with paycom

Chris Mallick · 08-26-2005, 07:15 AM

To clear this up: When you have loaded a personal account with an aggregate of US$5,000 you are required to send in additional personal ID and data. This is a compliance issue for anti money laundering laws. Your account is NOT closed if you fail to provide the data; it is suspended until we receive the data. We have only had a few cardholders not provide the data. If this is your choice then we will cash your account out by sending you your funds and the close the account.

Busiess accountsholders do not have this issue as we require more ID and personal data when the account agreement is signed. Tens of thousands of Webmasters are paid their Affiliate and other payments vis ePassporte; it is safe and secure.

The banking is in Curacao, a Dutch Territory iff the coast of Venezuala. The banking is done with the oldest bank in Europe and it is also very secure.

I hope this clears this issue for all of you. If not, email me.

Best,

C

Epassporte kicks ass...

Bigfuck · 08-26-2005, 08:03 AM

Love Epassporte makes life so much more ease

FuqALot · 08-26-2005, 08:45 AM

In older threads I read that it was hard to keep a low amount of money in the account because ePassporte wouldn't just let you withdraw large amounts to your bank account. But that was an old thread. Still I wonder is it true? Or is it easy to transfer your whole passporte balance to your bank account? Thnx.

simple simon · 08-26-2005, 08:50 AM

I wouldnt tie up any money in ANY online system, you have to be silly if you do.

Nicky · 08-26-2005, 08:57 AM

I keep a max of a couple of K there.....I withdraw money faster than I get it so no worries for me

adultguus · 08-26-2005, 11:12 AM

The ePass crew really is the best. I recently had to do a chargeback with them for over $4k and that was for a transaction of over 3 months ago. They were very helpfull to get me the money back and they did.

I feel perfectly save keeping large amounts of money there, although I would like to see an option to wire the money to my european bank account. I hope that one will come in the future, Chris?

You say it's much easier now but a few post after this one you said that wiring to europe isn't available yet. How do people from europe get their money then? Do they have to use the atm everytime?

Had a few K in there, never thought twice.. Epass rocks.
