I just got my epassporte card and was wanting to try it out at a ATM... You don't have to load the card (like netelle)? I looked through their site's frequently asked questions but there doesn't seem to be any answers about how to load the card... thanks...

Epass virtual visa does NOT conform to Visa's automated security check, as I've been told by a merchant.

It will fail the automated check and be refused if the merchant insists on going "deep" enough in the security checks. I have no idea if this applies to Amazon.

Epass suggested to me that the merchant call them to manually verify. I never followed up on that route, however, as the merchant I used refused to do this.

Interesting... thank you.

I purchased a few CDs and a bocce set from Amazon two days ago and that transaction was fine. However, the purchase that's tripping me up is for a TV over $1,000. I wonder if they will actually go "deeper" depending on the amount of the purchase.

Also, I know there are load and cash withdrawal limits but does anyone know if there are limits to purchases w/ the Virtual Visa for merchandise? I looked and can't find any. Thanks in advance.

You don't have to load your ATM card. It comes directly out of your account.

I emailed my front/back information of my 2 debit cards from BOA to Epassporte 2 days ago, and today I find out, that BOTH cards have fraud transactions on them.

Anyone have similar experiences?

I would say no but there aren't many alternatives. I signed up and it took over a month of emails, faxes and retarded email responses before I got my limits raised. Once that happened my first withdrawal request generated an error and did not process. After two weeks I still haven't received an explanation why. When that happened I immediately dumped everything into various poker sites to get it out of Epass. I then made a small withdrawal that did go through. I made another for a larger amount on the 25th but it's still pending.

Their customer service is horrible. Emails are almost never responded to; the ones that are read like they didn't read my original question. Phone calls take at least half an hour to go through and the people I talk to don't sound knowledgeable either. Practically everything turns into a "ticket" that goes into a black hole somewhere and the waiting continues. I'd like to get my limits raised beyond select status ($1K max) but they tell me I have to have a large amount sitting in Epass for this to happen. This makes no sense to me and with all the problems everyone else is having I just don't trust them enough to keep any money in them right now.
