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

[weatherone]

After having my pending deposit removed yesterday, just got an email saying the account is loaded and everything is good. Just took a little extra longer.

[KurtSF]

That message is awesome. Go ePassporte for being proactive, direct, and honest in communicating with customers. Very reassuring.

[MR EPI]

That is what I said and has been said repeatdly in this thread. Further it always takes at least 7 days business never fewer to get checking account loads. I do not undestand why people cant figure this out. This is how they do things if you dont like it dont use it.

did anyone deposit with a chase bank account?

i tried just now and got the message "your bank account has declined this transaction."

i called chase and was told by a customer service agent that i might be able to get them to take the block off, but that i'd have to call back after 8 am.

[censored] them. if they don't take the block off, i swear i will switch to a new bank.

i called chase and they took the block off.

by the way, guys: if you haven't deposited yet, using your debit card is immediate. doing an eft deposit seems to take about a week, so you should use your debit card.

[MR EPI]

GOD DAMMIT IT DOESNT TAKE ABOUT A WEEK IT TAKES AT LEAST SEVEN BUSINESS DAYS. NEVER ANY SOONER FOR EFT.
+SAYS RIGHT ON THE SITE.

[tannenj]

uh, ok. sorry.

not the point though. the point is, use your debit card -- it's a much better option.

I was about to post the same thing.

i iniated a load from my checking account, and for what seemed like forever the Epassporte screen would say my money would be available on the 27th. Well, it was taken out of my checking accnt on the 20th and is still not there.

I have sent numerous emails to epassporte, asking various questions. None of them have ever been returned. Oddly, when i sent an email asking for my password, they answered it withing one hour...wtf?

I'm about done with this thread b/c no one seems to read it without posting their questions. But, I do want to state I had no problems with my first ATM withdrawal today. $200 at an ATM at my bank. Went directly inside and deposited the cash to my account.

A couple of tips:

The ATM has to be part of the PLUS Network, I know this for sure. I think it also has to be part of the VISA network, but I'm not positive.

[Dilznoofus]

I made my first withdrawal from epassporte back to my checking account on the evening of Feb. 21 and received it today. Just figured I'd share a success story.

[Tk79]

I had $1200 hit my checking account on the 26th and I made the transactions from epass to comerica on the 16th & 17th. That means with 2 weekends and presidents day in the middle there it took 4-5 business days. Not too bad.
