ePayments has announced that it will temporarily be unable to accept USD transactions due to policy changes from banking partners and external factors. This update affects both incoming and outgoing USD bank wires, with any USD transfer attempts being rejected and potentially incurring return fees. To navigate this, several alternatives have been proposed:
- Temporarily, the ePayments payout option is unavailable in the Accounts section, with existing payout requests being processed as usual.
- Alternative payout options recommended include Paxum, FirstChoice Pay, or Bitcoin.
- Starting April 11th, withdrawals can be made in EUR currency through ePayments.
For handling EUR payouts, two methods are suggested:
- Using a separate EUR currency card linked to the eWallet to avoid exchange fees. Such cards can be ordered through the ePayments account.
- Using the existing USD ePayments card and exchanging the EUR amount received into USD, with the exchange rate determined by ePayments.
The SkyPrivate Team has expressed regret over the inconvenience but emphasizes that the situation is beyond their control. They assure users of their full support for any questions or assistance needed.
Members have expressed confusion regarding the impact of these changes, especially for those using direct deposit or alternative payment methods like FirstChoicePay, and whether they are affected by the inability to process USD transactions.
