Tinfoil hat? Don't be silly. If Citibank and Bank of America and Lehman Brothers could all run out of money, I really don't think Epass is a better established more stable financial services company than those.
A request for ID (which I have already complied with) is one thing, but a request for my bank statement from someone who is holding my money (not vice-versa) seems peculiar at best.
Don't get me wrong. I find it highly plausible that fraud is up when the economy is down. Having gone through the joys of billing through Globill and being an iBill affiliate, however, I don't believe that billing companies always just take their fee and hand over my funds.
I'm guessing from your 2007 reg date that maybe you are just really new to this, but the slightest bit of either history or current events shows that caution with financial institutions is just practical sense.
