    I was looking to signup with ePassporte to receive some affiliate commissions but unfortunately I've heard so much bad things about ePassporte.

    Can some people please provide me with some advice on them, thanks.

    What bad things did you hear about them ?

    The thing about ePassporte is that they are an offshore company which means that they do not issue US based Debit Cards and their card is a VISA Electron which means it may not be accepted in many places. They offer two numbers, one for online and one for offline transactions which complicates things. Especially when the merchant ask for a copy of your credit card to verify and the numbers don't match.

    Also because the card is from a Carribbean island, it may not be widely accepted.

    However, if you use it mainly as an ATM card to withdraw your money from your ATM machine, it should not pose any problem.

    Like, lots of people told me that they'll freeze your account and so forth. I'm not trying to lose any money with them. I'd likely use the ePassporte to withdraw funds to my checking account. So maybe some specifics on that certain part of ePassporte as well.

    As long as you use the account responsibility and follow the terms of usage to the letter of the word, there is no reason for the limitation.

    I know that if you get the epassporte card from an affiliate program, it can get verified at the first load but personally I believe it is best to use your own credit card to get your account verified so at least they know for certain that you provided real information and not use it for the sake of money laundering or terrorist funding. Loading from an affiliate does not verify that you are who you claim you are.
