(snip)"ePassporte is a member of Visa via St. Kitts Nevis Anguilla Bank and it seems that Visa has suspended the company's services via the bank with effect from late on Thursday evening UK time.
Reporting on the saga, security reporter Brian Krebs – of the Krebs on Security newswire – says that the news caught his attention because he "recently encountered ePassporte accounts tied to several shady affiliate programmes, such as those used to reward people who promote rogue anti-virus products and online pharmacy sites."
Krebs quotes the administrator of the online forum italkcash.com as suggesting that the move by Visa is in response to new anti-money laundering requirements mandated by the Credit Card Act of 2009, which affects prepaid cards and other payment card instruments that can be reloaded with funds at places other than financial institutions.(snip)
