Dear Account Holder:

It is with great regret we inform you that ePassporte must close its doors due to a lack of revenue and circumstances beyond our control.

Effective immediately, the call center, ePassporte's sales and marketing team and risk management staff will no longer be available.A small group will remain to organize wallet requests and help disburse funds. On the ePassporte website, in the near future, wallet holders will be provided further information on what is needed to obtain your funds. This will mainly be a process to protect wallet holder funds from fraud. We expect this will be a simplified process, and as we receive the necessary information, our small remaining staff will process requests as quickly as they can. Please direct your wallet questions, concerns and requests to [email protected].

For those of you with funds on your Visa Accounts, we are informed that St. Kitts Bank is working on a plan to provide everyone with full access to their funds through their Visa Electron Cards or by bank wire transfers and will inform you accordingly.

We appreciate your support for the ePassporte program over the past 7 years and deeply regret we must close our doors at this difficult time.

Sincerely,

ePassporte.com

Lesson learned: Don't blow your money by making a movie that exaggerates how you earned it.

i saw it coming, I was pissed off and angry right at the start of the visa trouble, and I know it was leading up to this.

The whole issue was a PR stunt. They got fucked from the day visa closed their facilities, epassporte knew there was no way out, but they tried to play as and pretend like there's hope. Simultaneously filing all the legal proceedings to close the services, and rub their hands clean.

Bastards.

Hmmm... wondering what was the deal with the Visa guys... they didn't just pull it for no reason.

Any recommendation instead of ePass?

Cheers!

This just makes way for the next big payment service.

rockz1 · 10-08-2010, 02:29 AM

this being a new payment processor couldnt able to withstand with other payment process. HaHaha

goddesspoo · 10-24-2010, 02:34 AM

shit.. just stick with paypal!

DankCashJohn · 10-26-2010, 09:46 AM

www.paxum.com is becoming a little bit more used now that ePassporte closed their doors. It should be interesting to which new payment service becomes popular. Paypal won't be the only popular, easy to use, service for a while.

DankCashJohn · 10-26-2010, 09:47 AM

Here is a list of sponsors and companies already paying out with Paxum. Mostly adult companies.

PayPal isn't a good solution to everything. For example they don't accept adult. ePassporte was mainly used for adult.

fm1234 · 11-01-2010, 01:18 PM

The adult affiliate programs with which I'm affiliated seem to be largely switching to Payomer and Paxum.

Yap, it seems like Paxum will be the way to go. I'm just glad that I got all my money out of e-wallet also VV epass.

musiclover · 11-13-2010, 08:20 AM

I had a couple of hundred dollars stuck on virtual/electron card on 3 different accounts but I forgot exactly how much and the bloddy epass is not showing those amounts... I'm sure it's few hundreds. Luckily the majority amount was on Wallet. I've already got it transferred on my bank account. What do you guys suggest I do?? Would really appreciate any inputs.

internic · 11-13-2010, 04:24 PM

I'm glad I get my own merchant accounts.

svigor · 12-28-2010, 03:58 AM

its really hard to manage a payment processing company

McBob · 12-28-2010, 06:30 AM

paxum, okpay, cashx are good alternatives.
