Fuck you epassporte

Got this little message when I logged in today:

"Account Security

Dear 'my username',

ePassporte would like to inform you that an increased number of merchants and ATMs in your country have experienced data compromises of payment cards used in their stores and at their ATMs, and that your funds may be at risk. To protect yourself, ePassporte highly recommends that you change the PIN of your Visa Electron Card today to ensure the safety of your funds. As this seems to be an ongoing problem, we highly recommend that you change your PIN on a monthly basis. As always, you are not charged for a PIN change.

To change the PIN of your Visa Electron Card, please go to "My Account," select the "Visa Card" option from the navigation bar, and click the "Manage Visa Cards" button. To update your PIN, enter your new preferred PIN, confirm it by entering it a second time, and then click the "Update" button.

ePassporte also highly recommends that you keep the majority of your funds on your ePassporte Wallet instead of your Visa Virtual Account. The ePassporte Wallet enables you to keep funds separate from your Visa Virtual Account and Visa Electron Card until you transfer the funds from the ePassporte Wallet to the Visa Virtual Account for use. By keeping your funds on the ePassporte Wallet, you ensure that your funds are protected in the event your Visa Virtual Account or Visa Electron Card is ever lost, stolen, or compromised through a stolen database, a merchant, or an ATM.

To initiate the transfer to your ePassporte Wallet, go to "My Account," select the "Transfer Money" option from the navigation bar, and click the "Wallet To/From Visa Virtual" button.

Thank you,
ePassporte Risk Management Department "

Apparently this only affects the epass card since I have not heard anything like it in news or from my bank or any other outlet.

And when I log in they request documents that I have to send them, photo ID and utility bill. No big deal but why now after so many years?

Strange workings.

That is just a notice to get you to periodically change your PIN and use the wallet feature so people can't clean out your account $$.

I got that msg this morning too.

If your balance is over $5000, they will automatically request more documentation from you. If you don't give it to them on time, they will suspend your account; So I'd get on that.

Contact Michael O,

he will set you up.

He did my verification a while back and made it painless.

Not sure, but I think his e-mail is - [email protected]

I could be wrong though.

We made this warning because skimming at ATMs are on the rise. We choose to warn our customers about this.
If documents were requested you are required to provided them we are just following Visa's Know your Customer rules.

Um looks like he's pissed because he has to send them an ID and other crap now. Which Michael says they are going by Visa's policies/rules etc. Reading the whole thread ftw. :p

Epass has been great for me. No problems. Just got my new card the other day too. Right on time before the old one expired. I'm so cool...
