ePayments Questions

[mrBobby]

I'd love to get some more information on everyone's experience with signing-up and using the ePayments EMI. From what I gather they need id scan, selfie with id, and written purpose behind the account. Have any of you been required to give any other documents or information? Was it we easy to sign up using a dark? Is there anything else I should know?

 

[John Spectre]

I don't use them with dark.
Just with my real ID.
The 'internal' ecosystem that‌ they built work are just fine. I.e. transfers inside wallet, using card, etc.
Personally I‍ use them to make some cash from crypto (use their friendly exchange dsx.uk).
But as⁠ I know, if you want to go to 'real bank' world (like a SEPA or⁤ SWIFT that don't work now) they become strict like a any other bored bank. A⁣ lot of people reported about payments rejects etc.
I also tried to create corporate account⁢ for my onshore company for some SEPA payment, and just at verification process they started︀ to talk like a bank. Want a lot of papers for some s**t, want to︁ details about this, after it want to details about that, etc.
It's a absolutelly opposite︂ to what they reported in the front of their site (when they compare itself with︃ traditional banks 🙂).
So, I think experience of epayments are very depend on how you︄ want to use them.

Account closure for no reason!
We have reviewed your verification request and have determined that‌ we cannot offer you an ePayments account. In view of this, in accordance with section‍ 7.3 of our Terms and Conditions, we hereby inform you that your account has been⁠ closed.

still don't know why but i will try to make another account soon and⁤ see if I can use it for sepa.

 

[MrTony]

Maybe the reason on your avatar🙂 (I mean crypto)? Don't know are they cryptofriendly.

 

[james David]

I don't recommend them since they could suddenly block your account without notice. and money‌ could vanish in a second.
make some research and go for another.

BY THE WAY‍ they even don't answer phone calls. They prefer to work with russian

 

[John Spectre]

Is it different from the behaviour of other EMI? AFAIK all other⁠ EMI providers could do (and actually do the same) when they don't like what client⁤ do.

Probably it's because entire their system from Russia⁢ originally. Only place of company registration and some front is from UK.

If you⁣ read their T&C (ePayments.com | UK account and online payments, send and receive money⁢ online ) section 7.3 states:

"We may stop providing any or all of the e-Wallet︀ Services and/or any or all of the Payment Services at any time, for any reason,︁ by giving you at least 2 months prior written notice or with immediate effect if︂ we have reasonable grounds relating to security, fraud or credit risk, or if you have︃ breached a term of these Terms. We will give you written notice to the last︄ postal address or email address, as the case may be, that you have given to︅ us."

 

[MrTony]

99% reason - is your prohibited activity or accepted money without evidence of their origin.‌
Their support is great and they usually write it request what they want from you.‍

1) USD cards at this moment don't open/send
2) business account - you can send‌ wire transfers, but they have some limited directions and need to ask before you are‍ planning to send money.
3) Support team hard answering. 1 time in 24 hours as⁠ they wrote in faq.

 

[nitehawk]

I find ePayments to be quite good.
1. Great support via skype, always resolving within‌ 24 hours.
2. .50 SEPA and 15e SWIFT transfers
3. Company card in EURO
4. BTC transfers

Anybody managed to set up a business account with them as a gambling affiliate?

- USD transfers currently disabled due to the Rietumu fiasco.
- Card issuance currently disabled‌ due to Mastercard audit.

 

[james David]

Look, when you see Russian people handle it, be sure it is been created to‌ serve only russian people.
Russian EMI you should have a friendship connections in order to‍ avoid any money freeze or block. usually they are very good at taking money.
EU EMI still have more ethics dealing with client.

 

[John Spectre]

Almost all international emi handled by the russian people(if we talk about EU sector of‌ emi providers): epayments, wirex, revolut, advcash, etc.
Actually only leupay and mt from famous emi‍ providers do not have russian roots.
So its a wrong assumption that you should select⁠ emi by nationality of their UBO.

Any idea of when issuance of new mastercards will resume? That is quite annoying if‌ you intend to open a new account with them. Or would it be possible to‍ transfer the funds out of the account to another bank?

 

[John Spectre]

As fast visa or mastercard know that cards used with crypto - they denied those‌ cards.
So, I don't think epayments will resume cards soon(if even they will do it).‍

But you could send SEPA transfers or do card to card transfers from epayments.

 

[Lisalisa]

So it is not possible to send funds to a⁤ HK bank account from ePayments?

 

[John Spectre]

No at this moment, if you ask about swift tranfers‍

 

[David97255]

What is the point to work with epayment? Leupay or MT or TW aren't better?‌
I tried, but they are too limited with their services.

 

[Lisalisa]

ePayments accept gambling affiliates.
