Yep. It's inconceivable that they're not earning interest on people's money, which is fine if someone chooses to leave their money in their account. But it clearly opens up a motivation for Paxum to make it hard for people to withdraw their money when Paxum is profiting from them being unable to do so.

People were complaining about this Paxum "ID verification" process months ago.

The problem I see though is that if you are collecting interest on funds that the account owner cannot access.. that can indeed be perceived as shady business practice.
Sig whoring penis extension pills is always a good sign of a stand-up company, I find.

IMHO, what you should do is follow the same procedures as other financial type institutions... require identification upon creation of the account, and funds can be neither received or sent until the owner of the account verifies is.
You just have to ask why they would make it easy for you to get money sent to "your account" (aka their bank account) without verification, but require you to jump through hoops to withdraw from their bank account. Even Epassporte didn't do that.
