Alertpay no US bank transfer
What is this?! I got this message when trying to transfer my money from MFC to my bank:
We apologize, but withdrawals by bank transfer to United States are not supported.
I swear I've done this before! Help please? Anyone else having this problem or know what I'm doing wrong?
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
yeah, alertpay is pretty much useless now. They lost their bank transfer privileges and can't take credit cards either. Happened a few weeks ago. There's a thread on it.
I had to request a check from Alertpay to get my money out. It came pretty fast tho.
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
Ohhh, I looked for the thread, couldn't find it. Sorry and thank you! I swear I used the search function :P This can be deleted if needed...I suppose I'll request a check, too.

-___-;;; Are you serious? I didn't even notice because I haven't used it in awhile.
Damn. We camgirls can't have ANYTHING nice. Fuck.
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
Yeah, it's been a real pain in the ass. And not realizing that they didn't have a toll free number, I called them three times (to Canada so it's long distance) and was put on hold forever each time. I seriously spent more money calling them than what they owe me.
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
So what is going on with AlertPay now? Can we not use them at all to collect payments from customers? How in the hell are they still online if people cannot pay or get paid?

They say they are working on accepting credit cards again, but at this point I'm moving on.
You can still get paid, it's just by check.
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
It still let's you withdraw to Canada. So Canaduan bank accounts are still ok.
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
OK. I set up an account with them but I never got around to using it. Thanks for the updates, ladies. It looks like I won't be using them.
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
This sucks, got that message last week and I just started camming again for extra money. Sad I have to request a check now and wait a week and half to get it...whats the point of daily pay then?
@PrincessJenny
I understand that I would have to create a new mfc account in order to get rid of daily pay, I don't want my camscore to reset so can I use payoneer or ipayout?
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
DP is sent daily. We cant make it arrive daily to your bank though sorry (unless in the UK).
Payoneer can be set up here
Alertpay is only less useful in the US, for nearly all other countries its the cheapest method of getting your cash. (for anyone outside the US reading)
Re: Alertpay no US bank transfer
^^^ this cutoff of 'foreign' funds transfers to US individuals is the result of new IRS reporting / compliance requirements that stem from the new National Health Care law and take effect on the first of the year. AlertPay was basically faced with the choice of accounting for and reporting to the IRS every 'foreign' dollar transferred into the bank account of every US individual ( with potential IRS investigation of their foreign operations to gather financial info on payments to US individuals ), or ceasing to transfer money to US individuals. They chose the latter.
As pointed out above, you can still get paid by check. However, this simply moves the IRS reporting burden to the US bank that cashes a 'foreign' check ... which 'solves' AlertPay's immediate problem but creates potential 'new' problems. Many 'foreign' financial institutions are attempting to circumvent 'new' problems by setting up working relationships with US banks to now cut their checks.
