As for banks declining stuff, mine sure in the hell has. Others have said the same as well. Shortly after banks deadline passed on the patriot act and the know your customer stuff. My bank flat out refused ALL transactions with epassporte. It is why I stopped using them and turned down a couple hundred a week of free money doing conversions with people. They will not send nor receive their wires, their ACH requests, or any load attempts via my debit cards.
Oh this was also after the US anti gambling laws passed as well, to help nail down the timeline.

The gambling thing was why I said "legal"
As for epass...that's pretty strange. You're the first guy I ever heard say that. Of course I gave up trying to load or get money into my bank from my epass account YEARS ago.
When I changed from SCBT to Suntrust Bank I jumped through the epass hoops and tried to get my new bank account added to epass. They did the little thing where they send a few pennies to your bank in two separate transactions and you verify the amount.
Well, the few cents never showed up at my bank. I checked my account everyday online and it never got there. And then the fucking stupid ass epass won't let you "cancel" that one to try again. So 3 years and two banks later....I haven't been able to get my epass account linked to my bank account.
So I stopped using them except for paying a couple of services online (like removeyourcontent.com, etc.) I just have a few of my smaller affiliate accounts paid to my epass so I never have to load it or unload it. The extra few hundred bucks in it each month I just take out with my epass card at an ATM and use it for fun on the weekends.
