This email is to acknowledge the receipt of your email.

A response will be sent to you shortly from card services.

Thank you

I was able to make online purchase of goods and refund it for cash.

These days I'm not putting money in there for n the first place.

I tested cc withdrawal. Worked like a charm. Money was not instant (it got instantly deducted) but it arrived only after 2 days that i saw it on cc.
The fees were quite steep tho, more then the wire fees. So should stick with wires for now, but hoping the cc arrives sometime, although it's stuck on 10/24/2018 like so many others.

Here the support answer I got
 

Re:The new unionpay card and the paxum mastercard yet not ready 2019-05-29 03:01:52
Dear .......,

We understand your frustration and we are in constant communication with the processor trying to expedite the process, however, there is not much we can do as we can not interfere with their rules.

Your Union Pay card was processed and is currently printing. Sometimes both processes may take a little longer than expected due to the fact that they are handled by our processor. This being said, your Paxum MasterCard will be shipped to you in few days after it's printed and we expect it to arrive to your location faster.

Regarding the other card request, since it was not yet processed, we will cancel it in up to 24 hours and reverse the associated fee.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Best Regards!


Then I went to look on other webpages and found many people complaining about that service, webcam girls making bad reviews, people saying they have been waiting for their cc for over a year and some saying they did wire transfer and just got their money on their bank account after 4 months and even people plotting on doing a law suit action against them and a person with a link to make complaints about them to FinTrac. I wrote to the support again and they closed the ticket without even answering to me. I sent an email to chris and ruth and I am waiting for any reply.

Guys, this is a nightmare.

It's your shitty Russian Putin Bank.

I get my money to CC instantly (takes literally seconds). Commission is about 3%

I'm not russain, and have no connection to russians. You probably mistook me for Lada, your rent-a-wife russian callgirl.

Ridiculous, don't you have someone you trust with a paxum account so you can send the money to them they withdraw and send to you?


The new card also isn't available for me (Aruba) but wire still works. But I didn't sign up for their service to use wire

The money in motion )))

Looks like Paxum stopped offering EFT transfers in USA too.
Can't add a card because I have a business account... jeebus.

I know you are russian speaking from some 3rd world KGB shithole like russia, belarus or whatever. So my comment was spot-on.

Business accounts are the EASIEST to work with. If you're verified within Paxum.

HowlingWolf pornster can only import videos. Or have wp tube theme also?

Was told that the API for UnionPay should be ready to use by the end of this week.

wire works, but i am not too happy about it and didn't sign up to their service because of wire as someone above said.

Anyone got their Union Pay card? Because mine is in printing status and deadline stated is near.

Yes i got mine, but waiting for API integration...

did they update the card status from "Printing" to "Shipped"?

Mine is still in "Printing" status, however, the 0000XXXXXXXXX000 was changed to actual numbers, so I assume the card is shipped..

No they didn't, same thing happened to me when the numbers changed i received it like a week after or so. I'm still in the Printing status...

Awesome, thanks for the info. Hopefully mine will arrive soon as well. Cheers.

Looking for someone who will do Paxum to PayPal that is not Roby as he takes a while.
PM me on this please if you can help.
Cheers,

I bet you reassure yourself it's not limp the same way you just did.

I haven't used paxum for about a year now. I won't accept any new funds in with all the problems they are having.

Can someone translate this into modern English?

I did a wire transfer 4 days ago and still no money order appears in my bank and my debit card is still on printing since May. Now I have no idea where the money is. Doesn't appear on my bank and doesn't appear on paxum account. Is it normal to take that long for a wire transfer to appear at your bank? Anyone that uses wire with them can let me know if this is normal? because with Ccbill it never took longer than 2 days for the money order to appear in my bank.

I also did a paxum account to use ATM and not to have to do wire transfers. Guys I never had problems getting their debit cards, they used to come even before the old one expired, what is going on with paxum?

Mine has numbers since the day I requested it, but it's still in printing since May. So I don't believe it was shipped yet.

Wire seems to be the best option.

Don't count Saturday or Sunday, since it looks like you wired last Thursday or Friday I wouldn't worry yet. Give it 3 to 5 BIZ days easy.

[QUOTE=SleepWalker;22494181][QUOTE=hotbrazil;22494000]I did a wire transfer 4 days ago and still no money order appears in my bank The wire was made on the 25th last month, it has been 8 business days already and no money order showing on my bank. I talked to a webcam girl that said she waited 4 months for the money to show on her bank, she thought she had already lost the money and she was never gonna deal with paxum again. That got me scared.

And the Unionpay card... still on printing since May... Ruth doesn't answer my emails. All I can do is wait and pray that what people keep telling me: 'idiot, you're never gonna see this money, you got scammed!' isn't true.

Unfortunately the Unionpay card status is not updating properly in accounts at this time. It's entirely possible your card may have already finished printing and been shipped to your address.

I checked your wire status and it's confirmed to have been sent. I replied to your email and I hope for your response there so that we can look into it if you still don't see the payment.
Thanks :)

I got this message today:

"Ticket ID: #763262
Subject: Paxum - WIRE Withdrawal
Message: Dear XXXXXX,

Our accounting department notified us that your WIRE returned with the following message: "MISSING COMPLETE NAME LOCAL BRANCH AND ACCT TAXID".

Please contact your bank for more information and make sure that you add the correct bank details before re-initiating the transfer.

Best Regards!"

I have this bank account since 2008 and this is the first time something like this happens. In my paxum account you have the same info that ccbill has and many other places that sent me payments in the past (my full name, bank address, bank account and agency and SWIFT CODE) and although there is a lot of bureaucracy and paperwork I have to deal with to receive the money from the payment order the money was never ever sent back.

Also I received the Unionpay card, by normal mail and not fedex like I paid for. It was just there put on my mail box and I can't activate it because:

"Dear XXXXX,

The card you received can not be activated at this time, but rest assured that the technical department is working on resolving this issue and, once that happens, we will re-open this ticket and notify you.

In the meantime, you can use the other available withdrawal methods, such as WIRE transfer or the external card feature.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Best Regards."

Dear Ruth, you're a sweety but my point is, will I receive this money still in this incarnation? Because patience and understanding has its limits. I will deal with my bank to find out what the heck was that, but in the meantime deal with yours to find out what's so difficult for them to allow us to activate our cards?

I did receive the card, but can't activate it because "the technical department is working on resolving this issue" which means I have the card but still can't withdraw my money.

Just wanted to let everybody know that the wire finally worked. I had to receive the money in two parts because the amount was too big... third world bank bs. But this last Friday I finally received the rest of the money. I would like to thank the people from paxum support, specially Ruth, that was a sweetheart throughout the whole process. :)

i thought paxum did a bank??? brand your own card like union pay. sure it cost money

me too.. there was this thing called paxumbank.com which i thought is a huge step for paxum..

This is problematic because for some reason, choice bank which is now defunct was only bank in world which was able to issue cards on international level. And it seems the same issue remain. Tho, for EU market it is possible to issue cards , as there is many EU only card providers so not sure why they dont cover atleast EU.

I miss withdrawing with my Paxum card :( . . .

Wire transfer works

As I write this there is an advertisement for paxum on my screen right under this. meta working.

They are fixing everything right now lol

"We urge all Paxum Account-Holders to complete any necessary transfers or transactions prior to scheduled maintenance.
All Paxum prepaid Mastercards will be unaffected, and will continue to function normally during system maintenance."

Which prepaid Mastercards currently function normally?

Paxum Wirecards.

yep, think it's the only one unless you still have some money on a TrueCash that hasn't been blocked.

In my dreams they are conducting this maintenance to upgrade something on their side in order to be able to support Union Pay API and finally make that card work but I think it will remain just a dream...

I hope they are upgrading now the API for Unionpay card.

How fast are USD wires these days? Is that issue fixed?

USD wire withdrawals are being processed in the usual time-frame. All USD wire withdrawal delays are resolved. :thumbsup

Good news. I am going to try one tomorrow.

I did a wire withdrawal around 8 hours ago and the big red sign warning me of USD withdrawals being unavailable was still present. (?)

Edit: just checked, and it still shows:

USD Wire Withdrawals to your location have been made temporarily unavailable as we cannot guarantee USD Wire delivery in a timely manner to your region. Please add a bank account in your local currency or in EUR to ensure prompt arrival to your bank account.

I apologize for any confusion by my post. I was not referring to USD wires into Europe/Australia, I was referring to USD wires to the countries currently supported for USD.

We do support AUD withdrawal, you need to add your bank account in AUD to your Paxum account in order to withdraw in AUD.
