ecocard and merchants?

[pokerstarswhat]

I withdrew from prima to ecocard and Im in IL american. Only took a day to hit ecocard. Now im wondering how i get my money. My bank just told me they dont accept international wire transfers. So am wondering is there any place online i can buy a prepaid visa card with my ecocard?

Don't know about using eco for such purposes, but I would really suggest getting a different bank if at all possible.

While it might not solve your immediate problem expeditiously, I would think that it would help for the future.

I have yet to use Eco but I signed up for it. I was wondering about withdrawing money. I have a local bank only. I was thinking about getting a different bank. Does anyone have experience with Eco? How has it worked for you?

I've used it for a few years.

Having only a local bank is not the issue, having a bank that will do international wire transfers is.

Eco has worked just fine for me.

I was going to make a moneygram deposit today but now I'm not sure.

That seems like standard CYA legalese. Basically, it seems like they're saying, "the UIGEA is between US citizens and their government."
