The official EPASSPORTE thread. (#1 of 2.)

Has anyone been able to get a bank wire? It gives me the option for bank wire but then tells me to contact them about it.

When you withdraw at the ATM, select "Credit Card" NOT checking. FWIW

Maybe so, but the letter that comes with your ePassport Visa Card specifically states you should choose "credit". I have it right here in front of me b/c I'm anal and keep all these types of things.

Maybe a better question is who has their physical visa card?

Ordered my visa card about 2 weeks ago. Got it on Friday. Registered it on the site. Used it to buy something at a store and at an atm to withdraw cash. Works like a charm.

Is there any fees when you use the card to "buy something at a store"?

About 10 days ago, I posted a trip report for UB -> Epassport -> FTP. I mentioned FTPs low limits for epassport transactions, with a monthly cap of $2k.

I emailed FTP, and they essentially trippled my daily, weekly, and monthly limits, so this is clearly a site restriction and has nothing to do with epassporte limiting them. I would expect them to increase it further should I need it in the future. Since epassporte was allowing me to do multiple $500 transactions with minutes of each other, I'm not sure there would be any limit to the total you can move between poker sites, albeit $500 per click.

Thought I'd let you all know.

just looked at the letter myself (didn't read it when i got the card) and ssaw what you're talking about...interesting how it worked for selected credit

[tannenj]

ok, confirmation please. upgrading to a select account allows you to move $600/day from epassporte to your bank account rather than $300/day, right?

there's no limit on the amount of money you can move from a poker site to epassporte at one time, is this correct?

[2easy]

correct and correct.

[tannenj]

thanks. a couple more things, if someone has the time -- it takes a few business days for money to get from epassporte to your bank account, right (whereas it only takes a couple of hours for money to get from a poker site to epassporte)?

assuming this is the case: this, in addition to the $300/$600 daily withdrawal limit is the reason people are paying $35 for the physical epassporte visa card, am i right? the card provides the ability to withdraw instantaneously (and one could then deposit the money physically into his bank account), and moves the maximum withdrawal limit from $600 to $1000 (two times the $500 maximum at atms)?

just trying to make sure i have a good understanding of all this stuff, thanks.

[2easy]

you have got it all correct.
