What is the bank behind the new "SEPA" card ?

very funny

So no one knows what bank is behind the new Paxum "SEPA" card ?

I don’t know but I think I read here somewhere that it is a card by Wirecard. They give out a large number of prepaid cards in the EU.

So no one actually received the card and can tell us what is the financial institution issuing it ?

some people say it's wirecard pre-paid card - wirecard.com

What new card I received 2 Mastercard > trash

Dunno. I'm waiting for mine now, but that's all. Asked Ruth about it, ask where these cards are shipped from, but no answer so far. Mine was shipped 4 days ago.

edit:
I knew I saw it somewhere, so here it is.. Denny wrote the following message a few months ago "I already own Paxum prepaid card (SEPA) issued by Wirecard", so I guess the bank is Wirecard.

It's now official. The SEPA cards are Wirecards (wirecard.com), and they are most likely shipped from the UK.

Cheers.

Well, For Mastercard they have not found a bank for the moment !

As far as I know, these Wirecards are Mastercards. But only for citizens of the EU.

thanks Zerovic much appreciated man :)

wtf is going on with our Union Pay cards? I have it here and it is useless?

did anyone get that paxum wirecard recently?

How does one apply for this card? Is it available to Canadians? I visited the "Apply for card" section and didn't see anything.

As far as I know, the Unionpay cards are still on the wait list. I also have one, but it's useless. As for the SEPA cards, you have to have a confirmed EU address in your account to be able to apply for one. The printing is super fast atm..

I didn't even realized when the status changed from submitted to printing..

incredible :)

Thanks zerovic -- too bad that's not available to Canadians/Americans.

Does anyone know if Paxum is trying to line something up for North America?

is EU address the only requirement ? or you need to be EU resident .

Both I guess. You have to be a citizen of an EU country, and you have to have a residence card...anyway,

looks like the card status in my account is not as accurate as I thought. I got a mail from paxum yesterday saying that my card is shipped. I also have a tracking number, which says the card is still in the uk.

thanks , i wish there was a way to apply for this card outside EU .

after i saw this reply, i gave an order for a new card. still nothing. (Submitted on 2019-08-27 ) lol

I submitted mine on last january...
and still nothing....

I'm really starting to worry ....

Here's another update on the SEPA card. When I applied for the card, I had to add my new, EU address, along with my EU documents to confirm it. The card was sent out with Royal mail, on Wednesday, 28th of August.

In the last few days I was away on holiday, and didn't really care about the tracking or anything, but thankfully, I checked it's status on Sunday, 8th of September and it was sayng "The parcel could not be delivered as further address information is needed.".

There was a message on the tracking site saying, if I don't correct the address, the package will be shipped back to the sender. The bad thing is, no one ever contacted me about this, never received a mail or a call, they simply stored it in the parcel center and it was waiting it's way back to the UK. Thankfully, I was able to contact a guy from GLS Group and we were able to fix the issue, and he was more then helpful by adding a new, address of a friend of mine who was able to pick it up the next day.

The current situation is, my card has been delivered, and I'm going to pick it up today afternoon. Once it's activated, I will try to use it at a local ATM, and I will get back to you asap.

Conclusion, if your card is printed and shipped, make sure to follow the tracking service every day, because it can save you weeks of waiting!

So,

Yesterday I picked up my new SEPA card. The activation process was instant, the money transfer was instant and I was able to withdraw money and pay with it directly.

The SEPA card works.

Cheers

Europe?.......

nice, i see mine is Submitted (Submitted on 2018-10-24 05:31:45)

good news

Same for me, been like that for a year soon...

Wondering if you guys are confused about the card type. Are you sure you have ordered the SEPA card avail only to people in Europe? If so contact Ruth and she will fix that, the SEPA card is very quick to get!

Yup, Hungary to be exact.

I remember a thread where Ruth replied that some SEPA cards from 2018 didn't go through and got canceled completely. Try to contact Ruth to see what's up.

Mine was submitted on 2019-08-22 05:15:42
Printed and shipped on 2019-08-22 19:07:26

However, I got a mail from Paxum on 2019-08-28 saying my card was shipped.

The package was delivered on 2019-09-10, after contacting GLS-Group.eu, because the shipping address was totally messed up on the original package. After a few mails with a GLS representative I got it corrected and delivered the next day :)
