Thanks, VISA International is incorporated as a domestic corporation in the US state of Delaware. This domicile would make them subject to recent laws regarding credit card transactions in the United States. Would have been smarter to incorporate the non-US divisions in a favorable domicile. However, VISA is not only arrogant and IMO not that bright — I am sure that they realize this now — after-sight is always 20/20.

So, this crisis with ePassporte may be related to their (*and their issuing banks') compliance with applicable US laws and regulations. More specifically, the disclosure rules related to stored value credit cards (i.e., the Virtual VISA Electron ATM card).

Assuming that the collateralized balance is correct there is some resolution of this "suspension of the VISA Cards" possible.

Judging by these stipulations, if your account is not verified you may never see your money. My suggestion is that you comply with ePassporte's account verification requests and try to help towards an expedient resolution with some form of release of these "frozen" funds.

As far as any "executive offices" in California;

ePassporte is no longer a valid California LLC and never was a corporation. It is possible that they are doing business either under another name or by some local county licensing. You cannot do business in California without some authority. (Other than in your personal name).
