FFS - I wish I had seen this thread earlier. I have had an absolute nightmare of a time with this company. All they have done for the past year is try their hardest to get me to use their card. I have spoken in depth with their representatives online, daily pay providers and Mark from CMD, whom have all reassured me a bank transfer was still an option for me. FirstChoice STILL told me my only option was this card.

Now, I have almost $5000 waiting from First Choice to be paid into my bank account. I signed up before their god damn awful credit card with horrendous fees. It's still 'in process' with my bank. I don't think I entered the IBAN/ Swift Information when I signed up last year with Payoneer. I have received plenty of payments via Payoneer/First Choice straight into my bank (normally 4-5days) in the past.

Dan - I know you said you were looking into this for me, but I've heard nothing and I'm getting concerned.

Hi, are we talking about a Myfreecams transfer, or one from Boleyn Models? Can you PM me, so I will know I'm not mixing aliases?
Thanks!

It it is Myfreecams. You have also replied to me via email Dan. But I’m hearing nothing about what is happening. How long normally is a bank transfer to a UK account? Thanks.

Hi again, it's usually 4 business days, once the transfer is initiated.

its been over that time...but will wait a couple more days to see if it turns up. In the meantime, please could you check my account and see if the IBAN/Swift No is there. You mentioned this is needed for a bank transfer? Not sure if this is new or not, as I’ve received payments in the past but don’t think I ever put this information in.

Hi Bahuba. There were some rumors in CRM e-mails to a limited number of affiliates on a few niche platforms, however these are not well based per what I know. Like any good detective, I've got informants too :)

If there are additional rumors, or upcoming issues, you know how to reach me.
With that being said, business as usual as far as I know.
Dan.

Anybody else waiting on a Streamate bank transfer via Payoneer? On Friday I only got the first email, still haven't had the second, and still haven't received payment. In my FCP account it's shown as "in process".

Hi, weekend days are not bank days in any case, so the speed of the transfer should not be effected. Should you wish for me to take a closer look, you can always contact me directly.

Is anyone in the UK having repeated problems with transfers? I waited 11 weeks for one from Christmas my bank rejected and now head we go again I’m so fed up. First choice say the bank I have used all along say I don’t have an account suddenly after three years?? Is it too much just to get paid? I had changed no details I’m furious

Am I totally blind or do they not have any info at all on their website how much the fees are to pay with the prepaid card outside the US?
I don't mean paying online, more using the card for daily stuff...

Hi, do you mean points of sale in a non USD currency?

Hi :)

Points of sale? I mean if I use the card for shopping groceries for example. What are the fees to do so in Europe?

danep
03-19-2018, 07:55 AM
Cool, so if the card is in USD, and the currency in central Europe would be Euro (unless you are in Romania), there is a conversion fee of up to 3.5 %
Some chains like Aldi, or Albert Heijn, may require to have a pending transaction which is slightly bigger than the settled amount. I don't know what about the Bulldog coffee shop in Amsterdam though :) I hope it helps.

Thanks.
I'm gonna be in Hungary, that means I can't use it at all? Because you stated Romania instead of non EUR countries in general.
And conversion fee of 3.5% means if I buy something for 50€ the fee is 1,75€?
What is the fee for using the card at an ATM to get cash out?

danep
03-19-2018, 08:14 AM
An ATM will have the flat fee+currency conversion of up to 3.5 %.
And watch out, there's Aldi in Hungary too :) Just to give you a reference of comparison, I have encountered the most hefty fees with my personal credit card in Colombia, where you expect to have a very low budget experience.

Anyone else not get the Firstchoice payment yet through ManyVids? I didn't think it would be affected by the holiday, my MFC payment arrived, but I usually get MV payment same day too and nothing yet

There must be some kind of delay because I have always gotten my confirmation and the second bank transfer email the same day, always Fridays. Today I got the second email so I'm guessing my money won't be there until Wednesday instead of Tuesday when I normally get it. since my bank takes two days.

I expect this sort of thing on bank holidays but there weren't any banks closed here.

Ok edited to add -- very happy to see I was paid today, so no delay in the deposit at all! It was just the email deposit notification that came a bit later.

Hi, this should be resolved by now.
Taja's question was not about about a payment from Many Vids.
If for some reason your Many Vids payment hasn't been received yet, you can contact me directly as well.

What's going on with FTC? I hear it's going into liquidisation?

Payoneer as for today wont receive anymore payments and the funds on the cards are safe. So payoneer is over for us and the whole industry will go berserk.

Hi everyone, these are indeed inconvenient times for us, myself included. There are literally tears in my eyes as I'm writing this.
The latest developments were not any process or a discussion that I was aware of, or participating in. My employers have no effect over Choice Bank as well.

All existing funds on cards can be accessed at ease, there's no cause to withdraw all remaining funds from the cards at once, however there will be no additional payments loaded. This relates to prepaid cards.
Existing bank transfer services for selected sending websites, are still functional, as far as I know at the moment.
No one will be chasing their funds, and nobody's funds will be frozen. The service is ceasing in a manner that everyone will be able to find an alternative.

I would like to thank everyone in here for teaching me about the adult space, and its workers, which I've grown to love and respect.
With that being said, I am not going anywhere yet, each member in here will receive my assistance to the best extent of my knowledge, during and after the cease down if needed.
I am hopeful that within a few weeks, when all of this passes, I will find my way back into the adult space, as I feel that there's still a lot more I wish to give to all of you.
Feel free to reply, feel free to reach out, feel free to express any insight or grievance, I will be around here, as long as you will let me, even if not as an industry rep.
I wish I could write a dry copied and pasted announcement, but anyone who knows me from here, and other communities, knows how devoted and sad I am at the moment.

Hi Dan, can you clarify...

"Existing bank transfer services for selected sending websites, are still functional, as far as I know at the moment."

Does that mean that bank transfers are still OK and it's just the card that's ceasing to exist? Or just that bank transfers that have already been requested will be completed?

Thanks

Bahuba

Wow. It looks like this: "FirstChoicePay is ceasing its service. During this process of winding down the service, the funds on your card are there for you to use, but FirstChoice Pay is no longer processing any further payments.
Choice Bank, the issuing bank of FirstChoice Pay, is no longer issuing prepaid cards and ceasing the services."

danep
04-10-2018, 06:34 AM
Existing users of bank transfers from selected websites should continue to receive payments at the moment.
Funds that are already on the cards can be used, new payments will not be loaded, because we no longer have the infrastructure to do so. I am as surprised and shocked as you are, because no one on my end had any grace period to prepare for this as well.

Is this happening because of FOSTA?

No relation to FOSTA, or SESTA.
This is totally a Choice Bank initiative.

I have a pending payment coming to me for Friday. will that will happen the timing is super frustrating for me since I am also going on a trip this weekend. it will make things a giant pain in the ass if I have to withdrawal my money now , then exchange back into US currency.

With me leaving this week and not having enough time to change my payment option this is extremely scaring at the moment. if this was after my trip I would be able to handle it better.

I would like to add my thanks. Always very helpful. I'm going to miss being able to get issues resolved fast with my payments.

I'm glad that at least those who have money on the cards can get it (unlike in the ancient times when epassporte went under and camgirls lost all their $). Also I'm surprised they are liquidating considering the fees they made from us!

DeepThoughts
04-10-2018, 09:41 AM
^^^ Agree'd! Im still terrified cause of epassporte and want to run out now and drain all the $ on the card but it looks like I dont have to. Phew!

Thanks Dan for being here even while the ship is going down and all the luck to you looking forward.

Is FCP closing down? Thats what people want to know and your posting isnt very clear on that matter. Also I tried to use my card and it declined. A few other people on Twitter mentioned their cards are declining as well.

^^ It would be fair but there is no way they will honor it. They are going out of business! They no longer care if we are all angry at them plus its likely they dont even have the money.

Has anyone else tried to empty whats on their account and been denied?? I cannot get to the bank until at least tomorrow to empty mine. I went into town early for a doctors appointment and used most of what was on my card to pay my rent (thanks god) but there is still like half a grand I want to get out of there and I freaking out that I might not get it now. :( I wouldnt even have cared but until I know how I will get my future payments Im a bit nervous. I dont want to have to start using my savings!

I got off the phone with FCP and apparently those payments will be back with the issuer in 2 or 3 business days, but I wish you could confirm this, Dan, because there are MANY girls in this situation.
