Chaturbate does not support Firstchoicepay anymore?

That's incorrect First Choice pay is still in business I have 3k with them. Maybe Chaturbate doesn't support it anymore.

Firstchoicepay closed down yesterday. They sent my money back to my AM. So ring them ASAP. They told me themselfs on the phone yesterday.

"Firstchoicepay has closed down, please update your payment infor with a new payment method."
How can I update payment info? send them an email?.
Thanks.

Does anyone have more info on this?

I used my FCP card today twice without any issues, but i went to an ATM and i withdrew all my remaining funds, better be safe than sorry. I have bad memories regarding ePassporte. :)

I switched my Chaturbate to Paxum since i had an account already.

Chaturbate sent an email:
"Dear xxx,

As you may already be aware, on April 9, 2018, Choice Bank Limited announced that it "is temporarily unable to fund prepaid cards". This action affects broadcasters who receive their regular payouts and/or daily payouts using FirstchoicePay. Accordingly, due to factors beyond our control, receiving payouts through FirstchoicePay is not an option. Broadcasters who have a Paxum account can utilize Paxum's Instant Withdrawal feature. As Chaturbate explores alternative options we encourage affected broadcasters to open or reactivate a Paxum account. You are able to reset your payment information by going to https://chaturbate.com/affiliates/payoutinfo/. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please email us with any questions regarding FirstchoicePay or Payoneer payment options.

Best,
The Chaturbate Staff"


At first i thought it's just a country restriction, but it appears to be a general issue.
 
Guys. How about using payoneer global payments service.

I'm planning to used direct deposit. Zero processing fee. Accept payment from companies in the USA.

Has anyone used this method yet?
 
Crakrevenue shows a big banner on affiliate accounts regarding this issue. And when you click on the banner , this can be read:

Firstchoice Pay has recently notified its clients that it had been forced to suspend all withdrawals from deposit accounts.

We — at CrakRevenue — are doing everything in our power to ensure the protection of your revenues.

Consequently, we have decided to end our business relationship with Firstchoice Pay. Therefore, Firstchoice Pay is no longer a payment option accepted at CrakRevenue.

Is your payment method set to Firstchoice Pay?
If so, we invite you to change payment method as soon as possible.

Here are the other payment methods to choose from: Paxum, Check and Wire.

Indeed, there will be no more payment of CrakRevenue commissions issued through Firstchoice Pay.

This includes the next payment period scheduled on April 15, 2018: none of the payments due on this date will be issued through Firstchoice Pay.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

Payoneer transferred its adult related business to FCP in last February. I would imagine that Payoneer can't accept payments from adult companies to their Global/US Payment Service either, but ask their support.

The processing fee for ACH payments is 1% though.

Thanks man. I will try chatting with a customer agent.

Does Paxum offer new debit cards like firstchoicepay/payoneer?

They do, there's a lengthy thread on another forum about the present situation of the Paxum card. The issue is the same as with FCP, their card issuer is the same Choice Bank which issued the FCP cards. Bummer.
But now Paxum is in the process of issuing and sending out new cards, so i guess everything will be in order. I'm just wondering why FCP can't do the same. I remember Payoneer switched card issuing banks two or three times in the last 10 years with no hiccups, since i'm with them and i have insight.

Admittedly Paxum services work as usual, online withdrawals, ACH, EFT etc., but not the card.
To my understanding, the Choice Bank issued cards can't be loaded anymore, but the existing balance can be used normally for online/offline purchases or cash withdrawals.
 
They dont support India, I dont know why and there were rumors its going to replace all payment methods.

FCP doesn't support India since March, that's true along with few other countries, but the issue is more widespread than that. The issue is with their card issuer bank, you can read it above in depth.

I do not know if I understood or not, but you are saying that currently you can not use the paxum card to receive payments and that you can not use the card at ATH ATMs ?, I was about to request the paxum card, I do not like receiving my payments by Paypal.

Sorry English is my second language and sometimes I get lost in some things.

The existing Paxum card has the same issue what the FCP card has at the moment because of their mutual card issuer, Choice Bank Ltd, Belize. Neither of the cards can be loaded, you can't receive payments on them, but you can use the existing balance as usual until it runs out, then you can bin the card.
If you're a new user of Paxum and haven't had a card yet, the new card aren't supposed to have any issues according to the Paxum rep on the other forum. I guess they found a new card issuer already, they had a few weeks, because the issues with Choice Bank started in March.

Don't mistaken the card with the account, you can use Paxum without a card, you can receive payments. A card is not necessary, you can still wire/deposit (ACH/EFT) the money from your Paxum account to a bank account or send it to another Paxum account holder.

Perfect, I will try to request one, total, I do not lose anything.
And can you give me the link to the other forum, by PM ?, I would appreciate it.
 
So, is First Choice Pay not accepting adult related content now? I thought they paired up with FCP from Payoneer so they can keep their adult stuff in FCP and non-adult stuff with Payoneer.

I do not really like Paxum much, but if anyone here knows if Paxum is just like First Choice pay? Do you get a card with paxum and you can withdraw with it? or you just get the funds from chaturbate in a virtual account and then we send them to our VISA or such?

Also, I can just register a personal account or a business account if I just want to receive money and maybe send some?

Would appreciate if anyone can help out.

Thanks!

That's not it. The issue is with the card issuer bank, Choice Bank, someone quoted an article before in this thread about it.

Paxum is similar to FCP or Payoneer, you can have a credit card, if you want and apparently you can withdraw to external credit cards too (this is nor a feature of FCP, neither Payoneer), however country restrictions may apply, you can't do it in the US for instance. You can wire your balance to your bank account too or make a direct deposit (ACH/EFT).

Thanks for all this information. A year ago or so, I read a couples of articles here and there when payoneer divided part of its business ( adult ) and created FCP. It seems the problem is coming from Choice Bank ( as you already said, it´s the same issuer of the FCP and Paxum prepaid mastercard ) . As you also said, the exiting balance can be used to purchase online / withdrawn from an ATM. But the trust FCP has already lost will hardly be back. It´s a pity , because It worked well. I guess many affiliates who are in the adult niche will move now to paxum. Could you give us a link to the thread you mentioned before , the one where the rep of paxum is providing more info ?

Just withdrawed $1000 from an ATM with FCP - no problem yet. $5000 to go

Hi TayaX , if you take my advice, don´t use these prepaid cards to store money as if they were bank accounts. They can easily get blocked and it´s a nightmare to unfreeze them. There are many stories out there of people who lost money with payment processors.
 
Hi guys, Can you explain to me what are wire and check? I dont wanna use these options at all but If I cannot make Paxum account I have to choose these options.
 
Wire = bank transfer, usually international (you need to provide an IBAN and Swift Code)

Check/Cheque = a piece of paper that orders a bank to pay a certain amount (normally it's only valid in the country in which it is issued).

That's incorrect First Choice pay is still in business I have 3k with them. Maybe Chaturbate doesn't support it anymore.

My understanding is that First Choice Pay are ceasing business. I believe this will because of pressure on their US issuing/correspondent banking facilities.
