are paxum, payoneer, ipayout, etc licensed money transmitters?
 

ive been curious about this, for instance paypal has to be licensed as a money transmitter in most states

are these companies licensed at all in any state, let alone what paypal has to go through.

and if they are not, is there a reason they can skirt this and paypal cant? arent they doing the same things?

Woohooooooo:thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

go for paxum

thats in canada, you guys have US clients right?

are you not a US licensed money transmitter?

Paypal seems trustworthy. I don't like Paypal's reversible payments feature, though.

We do not currently have offices based in the united states so we can not get one. Once we do have offices within the united states we will have the appropriate license.

Legitimate banking institutions have rules in place designed to protect consumers (consumers = you and me). Folks that use excuses to skirt the rules ("oh, we're just a computer services firm, and we're based in Zimbabwe where there are no laws governing our business...") are not the folks you want to trust with your money.

Me, I want to deal with banks and regulated agencies. Many folks in this biz, however, seem more than willing to trust strangers on the other side of the planet with their livelihoods -- and you get what you deserve for doing so... Not commenting on any company in particular, merely stating that if you use non-banks for banking purposes (which includes money transfers), then you should simply send your cash to me.

paxum and payoneer are no different then epassporte... you're money is 100% at risk and there is nothing stopping these companies from fucking you if they'd like...take the risk if you want....happy holidays

Yet another thread full of americans with 9-5 salaries wondering why self employed people who live in other countries need ways of transferring money quickly and affordably.

what are the importance of license to you, the point is if they can send you the money throuh their atm that mean they have a license to operate legally.......

you have got to be kidding me

paypal has clients in north korea , but they don't have a money transmitter license in north korea ( ok i'm guessing , but you get my point )

if they are located in the us, they have to follow US laws or they can get shut down?

are any of them located in the US, other than paxum, who is in canada?

Payoneer is not a money transmitter in the US. We do not touch the funds. All accounts are bank-owned. In the U.S. we are registered as a Money Service Business with MasterCard.
