Epassporte Wallet - transfer before using your card!

Just logged in to Epassporte and found they implemented some new feature.

This new feature means you can’t withdraw money or use your card unless you transfer you funds from what they call your “wallet” to your virtual card.

So remember to login and transfer funds or your card wont work the next time you use it. Transfer from your epassprote accounts online to others, payments etc works fine.

The Wallet is an additional security feature that enables Account Holders to transfer funds to a secure location for maximum protection. When your balance is transferred to your Wallet, funds may not be spent via your Visa Virtual or Visa Electron Card. This will keep your funds safe if your Visa Virtual Account Number is compromised or your Visa Electron Card is lost, stolen or copied. If you plan on using your Visa Virtual Account or Visa Electron Card, please ensure you transfer sufficient funds from your Wallet to your Visa Virtual Account. You can do this by clicking on the “Transfer Money” tab under the “My Account” section.

My funds were already on my “Visa”. I wonder why.

Re: Epassporte Wallet - transfer before using your card!

odd… dont know why. Mine where in the wallet.

Re: Epassporte Wallet - transfer before using your card!

It said that money transferred to you from another account holder is automatically placed in your Virtual account.

“We noticed that you use your Visa Products on a regular basis so for your convenience funds loaded via credit card, US bank account or received from other Account Holders will automatically be moved to your ePassporte Visa Virtual Account. This means that if you wish to secure your funds in your Wallet, you will need to manually transfer funds or utilize the automated feature to move funds to your Wallet when they are received or loaded.”

This is just plain annoying. I never keep money in epass. It either goes to my hosting or straight out via a cash point. Now I have to log in first to do it…

So let me get this straight. You only transfer money to your wallet, if you are NOT planning on using your card, either as a credit/debit or taking money out?

Otherwise once receiving payment, it get automatically placed in your Visa Virtual Account, until you move it to your wallet. Is that my understanding?

that’s what I’m reading … I’ll let you know later when I go the ATM.

Well I have to go to the ATM as well, so I guess we’ll both find out today!

Re: Epassporte Wallet - transfer before using your card!

I just tested this. I only had money in my Virtual account and I was able to withdraw money at the ATM. My Wallet was empty.
