You could deposit via credit card, and then verify your bank account. (Think they do as Neteller did--make one or two small deposits for a few cents.) Once verified, believe you can cashout to a bank account, even if initial load was from CC. Epass has two levels of accounts, standard and select. Standard has a $500 load/trnasaction limit, Select is $1000. You get select by having two verified load options.

They actually offer three load options--CC, US Bank account, and Load with Cash. The latter is buying a book of deposit slips for $9.95 (you will need funds in account from an initial load) and using them to deposit at one of four banks: Bank One, USBank, Wachovia and Wells Fargo. Here is what the Epassporte screen says: (cut and paste)

"In order to load your account with cash, you must first purchase a booklet of 25 deposit slips (printed and coded with your ePassporte Account details) for use at the bank of your choice. The booklet costs US$9.95 and this amount will be deducted from your ePassporte Account when you click the 'Purchase' button below.

Your booklet will be mailed to you and will arrive within 7 business days. Once you receive the booklet, you may load cash on to your ePassporte Account by taking a deposit slip to any Teller at any branch of the bank you selected. Please note: ePassporte charges US$9.95 each time you load cash to your ePassporte account. This amount will be deducted from the amount you load.

Please select a bank below (you do not need to have an account at this bank): "

Obviously not an option for an initial load, but I am guessing a credit card issued by any of those four banks can be used to load Epassporte. Also, these slips, while a bit pricey, might be a way for "recreational" players to easily fund their poker accounts. Very easy if they already bank at one of these places.

I do not know if you can simply verify your bank account and then "load" by cashing out from a poker site. Right now, FullTilt, for example, would cash out to Epass even if you have not deposited that way if your previous ewallet was Neteller. Just don't know how Epassporte would view it.
