what is visa electron? - GoFuckYourself.com

xanx · 09-08-2005, 03:57 PM

I'm sure this is a stupid question but I have members asking me to accept Visa Electron and I'm not sure what that is. Is there a reputable place that I can use to accept them on my site?

Dalai lama · 09-08-2005, 03:59 PM

A good example of a Visa Electron is the Epassporte CC. And it works for me on the most processors such as epoch.

Michael O · 09-08-2005, 04:01 PM

If its adult webmasters its probably ePassporte they are talking about. http://www.epassporte.com

Visa Electron is a debit card.

would Epassporte accept all visa electron cards if I used them for a processor?

ajrocks · 09-08-2005, 04:12 PM

Visa Electron is the internet based epassport card. It's supposed to be great for online transactions only

No don't think so.

Paycom accepts ePassportes Electron card.
CCBill doesn't accepts ePassportes Electron card.

If its for surfers and adult try talking to a paycom support person.

It's VISA's debit card. Any processor that handles VISA cards will transact an Electon card.

Nope

Atleast thats not the case with the Electron card from ePassporte.
CCBill and 2cehckout declines it.

Got ya! Odd when processors can't handle Electron cards when millions use em every day in stores. I have one and never had a problem using it any country I've visited. Considering they are debit cards and funds have to be in the account, there is far less risk.

I can see 2CheckOut having a problem with em - doubt they ever heard of a debit card!

Yes.. likely Evan!! It's probably the most common card in the EU - dressed up under other names.

TetsuoIronMan · 09-08-2005, 06:28 PM

Never had any probs with my VISA electron or debit cards. That includes CCBILL and others mentioned.

But I did have my credit card denied not so long ago. Weird internet world.

assmunk · 09-08-2005, 06:29 PM

well, as far as i know, the electron cards' main purpose is/was 'PHYSICAL ELECTRONIC USE' translated:withdrawing from ATMs & paying in stores.

Chris Mallick · 09-08-2005, 06:40 PM

Hi Guys...

To clarify, ePassporte's Visa Electron is the physical plastic card, used at PLUS ATM's and points of sale where Visa is accepted. It may NOT be used online. OUr Classic, Virtual Visa is used for online purchases. All accounts include the Virtual Visa, the Electron is an additional purchase.

Hope this helps!

Most banks don't allow electron use online. If I wanted to get an electron card from my bank I would need to make a separate agreement on the online use.
Electron card is pretty much a debitcard, you can't use it if you don't have balance on your account.

its a card for use only on electronic devices.

so the name and card number is not beveled so you can't run it through the manual paper printer

V_RocKs · 09-09-2005, 01:53 AM

Damn I love Epassporte... Now I just gotta figure out what to do with my money.
