Do you prefer ePassporte payments?

ePassporte is a Visa. It has the acceptance of Visa.

Be sure you use the proper account when making a purchase. The Virtual Visa that you receive via email is for online use only. It works most everywhere online with the exception of certain high risk markets. Not to say ePassporte can't be used in the high risk areas, as those particular markets may use eP if they have an agreement with ePassporte. Otherwise, I've used mine to buy lots of stuff online.

The eP Visa Electron card is for real world use such as buying groceries or withdrawing money from an ATM. An Electron card must be used with an electronic terminal that receives authorization for the sale. The Electron card will *not* work on the Internet.

My ePassporte account has features I wish my own banking account would incorporate. Such as being able to check my balance or transfer money to someone from my cell phone. You might think you wouldn't use it... but it comes in handy.
