As affiliate I do not care where and who the money coming from as long they arrive and securely. Without too much time and efforts or forced to pay a fortune just to get it. Then I can focus on what I'm doing best.
Unfortunately that is not case today, not even before this shit happened. Epass is for my own convenience and to spread the eggs. With many sponsors and with some risk of some not suddenly paying, I keep the minimum payouts from programs low and I withdraw most of it fast when they arrive at epass. First rule in economics (the part with common sense) is not to buy all stocks in you own business, then everything is at stake if shit happens. Programs and epass is not my personal bank.
The rest of the "eggs" are done automatic by international wire transfers. CCBill, Epoch, Verotel etc. Even without the Visa option, I would still use Epass for wire transfers as long it's not too much effort and it can be configured to be done automatically like the others (I'm sure Epass can work something like that out). BUT if sponsors drop Epass, I will have to use other payment options. Checks are too much administration and wire is expensive which mean I have to raise the minimum payout again. As a consequense, I would not drop the sponsor but some will get more traffic and others will get less.
