Check the Visa list of PCI compliant companies (
http://usa.visa.com/download/merchan...-providers.pdf) and I can’t find ePassporte or any of these other related companies on the list.
ePassporte would need to pass an annual third party security audit since it looks like it runs the back-end for its cards and bills users’ credit cards to load accounts.
This could explain why they were shut down so suddenly.
I can’t imagine Visa would allow the cards to be re-activated until it has passed a PCI audit.
