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

[junglewarfare]

three weeks later, i havent received the micro deposits into my chase checking account, should i try a different bank?

[Barrin6]

Epassporte summary for Barrin
2-3 weeks for micro deposits to show
2 weeks to transfer $ from checking account to epassporte.
2 weeks to withdraw money from epassport to bank

Conclusion= Slow but the best option so far

[MR EPI]

I got my depsits next day last week. Try a different bank or call them.

[DonT77]

received micro deposits (took 7-10 days)
loaded $300 (took 7 days)
transfered the $290 that was left to an online account
increased my transfer limit to $1000
attempting to load $1000 - waiting 7 days

[fnord_too]

It has been close to three weeks and still no micro deposits for me. I emailed them but they never replied.

[Raydain]

It says my bank is declining any transactions to ePassporte. What's my next best course of action?

[junglewarfare]

has anyone who uses chase gotten their micro deposits? im thinking of re asking them to try it on my boa account, has that worked for anyone?

With ePassporte, can you deposit on sites that support Visa but not ePassporte? After all, it is a virtual visa...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. If it accepts Visa, you can use your virtual visa card (or real visa card if you have one mailed to you for $35).

i am pretty sure that this is incorrect.

neither will work, at least at gambling sites, if they are not set up for epassporte. and i am pretty sure these are the "sites" he is asking about.

and i am 100% sure that the physical/real visa card that is mailed to you will not work online anywhere. it is swipe transactions only.

You're correct about the physical visa. I just got it in the mail today. However, here's the info on the virtual visa, straight from their FAQ:

"I'd like to make a purchase at a website that does not show ePassporte as a payment option. May I still purchase from this site? "

"If VISA is listed as one of the accepted payment methods you may use your ePassporte Visa Virtual number to make a purchase."

1. Call your bank. Some folks have noted that they were able to call their bank and let them know that Epassporte is not a gambling site, and their bank allowed it from that point on.

2. Go across the street to another bank. I use Regions (and have no idea how widespread their offices are). No problems at all with the Visa Debit card deposit or the transactions to/from Epassporte through standard checking.

Yes. Took almost a month though.
