Thanks, sorry for misunderstanding. I thought the same as G, that you were trying to be like ePassporte and so could be used by my clients to pay for my services.

One thing that would be useful, both to us and to you (as it would encourage sign-ups) is a list of links to sponsors who use you. At the moment none of my current sponsors appear to use you, so there is no point in me paying $35 a year for a card. However, due to the high cost of clearing US cheques outside the US (I currently pay £12, which is about $20, for each cheque I get) I would genuinely consider changing my main sponsors if I could get paid via a service like yours. (I changed 90% of them when I discovered ePassporte, and nowadays my main sponsor is one who pays by PayPal.)

From what I've been told, they "are in discussions with a number of large affiliate networks and for contractual non-disclosure reasons we can not tell you who they are at this stage. If however, you would like to tell us which affiliate programmes/networks you would like to receive commissions form we will open dialogue with them (in case we have not already done so) and invite them to join the Association"

And, seeing as the $35 fee is waived for board members using t5his link - http://www.epayments.com/?i=greenguysboard - I think of it as them having a year to get on board with some of the affiliate programs we use

So everyone, feel free to post a list of sponsors you'd like to see ePayments.com open a dialogue with
