Looks like FirstChoicePay is having serious issues
 

This was just sent to all Crak Affiliates:

Firstchoice Pay recently notified us about a problem they’re experiencing in regards to the loading of funds. In order to protect your funds & commissions, we’ve decided to temporarily deactivate Firstchoice Pay as a payment method at CrakRevenue.

Is your payment method set to Firstchoice Pay?

If so, we invite you to switch to another payment method as soon as possible. In the meantime, there are other payment methods to choose from: Paxum, Check and Wire.

What does this mean for CR affs receiving money via Firstchoice Pay:

No CrakRevenue commissions will be paid via Firstchoice Pay on March 15, 2018 (payday).

We repeat — if you have Firstchoice Pay set as a payment option, you will not receive a payment from us March 15, 2018.

This precaution is taken to protect your revenues from any additional unnecessary risk.

Another communication will be sent if Firstchoice Pay later confirms that their services are back to normal.


We’re sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

+1 similar problems here.

These companies are all having problems, they seem to change their banks more often than their underwear.

Paxum, Firstchoicepay etc, they are running businesses that are at odds with the new international banking standards. Governments just dont like untraceable funds.

Agree, and just being a client also put you at risk of getting kicked out from your own bank. Wiring large amount of money is getting more and more difficult, banks are going crazy and they don't care if its legal or not, all about a risk factor for them. It was so much easier to write/receive checks. I didn't care dealing with a lost one in the mail once every 2 years. At least my bank wouldn't call me all the time asking what is that money for.

some serious shit is going down

Sounds bad!

Really ?? :helpme

wonder if more aff programs are going to follow?

contacting some reps now

Paxum and Firstchoicepay use the same bank

Indeed, the only one left that will deal with this type of business.

We did a load to FirstChoicePay about a week ago, and it went through with no issues.

And, we haven't been informed by FCP of any load issues. Can someone from CrakRevenue reach out to me please? I'm curious why we haven't been informed. Any other affiliate programs been informed of this?

let's start counting down the minutes for paxum issue.

CrakRevenue is very slooooowly guys :)
Looks like they get info that was 7 days ago :)))
https://gfy.com/22225491-post3.html - about Paxum and FirstChoicePay problem with card loading :)))
They answer my questions for 2 weeks, its normal for CrakRevenue

I'd be interested to know whether "loading funds" refers to:

- An affiliate program wiring funds to FCP to prepare for payouts

or

- An affiliate trying to transfer balance to their ATM card

Hi Ravo,

We began sending this message today. Sorry if you haven't received it yet! We have a lot of affiliates (xx,xxx) and I believe the notification is still being sent by the hour. Everyone should receive it before today's end.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you Ravo!

Eric

I would withdrawal all funds if I were you guys.

I'm glad some programs have Paxum and Paypal as a payment options.

I think Ravo meant he hadn't heard anything from FCP. I'm assuming he has his affiliate program hat on and wanted to speak with a peer.

Can you elaborate on the problems?

dont panic ladies, Rodrigo (ex-IBill) is taking care of everything

What was original info did you get from FCP? And when did you get it?

Yeah this is serious. I got my regular FCP payment yesterday though from another network. They must had pre loaded it before this happened.

Serious problem, do I need to withdraw all of fund?
Login to see if they still there.

Do you guys remember epassporte?:)

FCP have called in veteran financial whizz kid Chris Malick to handle the crisis - He has assured all concerned that the 'money is in motion'...

Mr Malick also announced that the 'long awaited' sequel to his 'hit movie' will hit the screens soon - "Middle Men II, We Fucked Them Again" - is due for release when the check clears - He also mentions that he is welcoming investors.....

Everything is fine, money loading on card - n.p.
Looks like CrakRevenue - Slowpoke of the year :)

I hear JONAS BROWN from Ibill and B2B credit is also giving some great advice ?

:2 cents:

There was an issue loading funds from checking account to ATM cards about a week ago but Paxum got it resolved the same day so I guess FCP too as Paxum uses Choice Bank and Choice bank = FCP. As someone pointed out Crak is maybe just slow.

:thumbsup:winkwink:

fcp and paxum use the same fuckhole bank

We all use fuckhole $$$ :)
Epayservices had same shit with $$$ mastercard and no problem with EU mastercard :)

If I'm not wrong FCP is operated by Choice Bank, Paxum uses Choice Bank to issue and handle the cards.

bottom line, as is evident, the days are numbered for these fly by night ups store fuckhole services with indian cs

pp is the real deal. all payments seamless. card ALWAYS fucking works. direct deposit from pp to bank account in ONE day

bye bye paxum and fcp

(most) pp payments FREE

pp mass pay, FREE to receive

pp to bank account in ONE day FREE

^^who is pp? Paypal?

I'm not sure if they're referring to loading problems on the payee end (I don't use a payoneer/fc card but haven't heard of any of my contractors who do use them having issues)

If they're referring to loading of funds on the payer end (in this case crak) I haven't experienced anything like that at all. My last wire I sent on Wednesday was credited to my account the next day (yesterday/Thurdsay)

if it's a payer issue with wires being credited, I'm wondering if perhaps the issue may be that crak is sending wires of over 10k? I send mid to high xxxx regularly and have never had an issue. I would never send over 10k though, that's just asking for difficulties. even with contractors whom I pay directly via wire, if the amount is over 9.5k I send two wires just to be safe.

this is just my anecdotal experience but for me payoneer/fc is working perfectly and is crediting my wires faster these days than when I first started with them.

although I do prefer methods wherein I ca pay contractors using methods that take the funds directly from my bank account, I like the payoneer/fc service and it's def been an asset to my business. Hope it stays that way.

Yes. howmuch i remember from announcement about it, it's partnership between payoneer and Choice Bank. After all i doubt it will be called First Choice pay if it would be different case.
And also, for some reason choice bank is only bank in world which can issue debit cards on international level, while you can find alternative for US and EU, nobody else can do for whole world. Kind like in adult processing where only verotel can proccess non eu/us clients. So if choice bank goes bananas, everyone goes bananas.

Yes that's the funny thing with US, if you send over 10k wire you are immediately suspected for terrorism financing lol

That's correct Rowan.

Now, I'm guessing that Crak is referring to the issue that both Paxum and FCP had with affiliate cards on March 1st. I can't find any indication of an issue with loading funds INTO FCP in order to make affiliate payments.

I was never enticed to use them ...

Your Paxum arse licking is relentless.

What enticed you to use Paxum over Payoneer/FCP I wonder!?

Considering you post so much here, makes me wonder how you missed all the Paxum fuck up threads, despite having posted in most of them trying to big Paxum up!

A simple GFY Payoneer and FCP Vs Paxum shows which are the most reliable service.

We´re not having any problems with firstchoice & all of my payments are made through firstchoice, so i´d definitely notice if there was a problem with the company :2 cents:

Is there any support at CrakRevenue who can help me with new paysites?

Natalie who do you use to actually process the credit card payments - fcp or some front end vendor, or a processor?

I received payments from 2 different sponsors using firstchoicepay.
I think firstchoicepay works.

This whole thread seems to be FUD based on a minor issue from a couple of weeks ago.

+1 same here :)

Someone tell me - who do you use as a front end processor for FCP?

My sponsors outside of usa/canada wont send $$ to usa using fcp. I noticed this along time ago so I use epayments just fine.
