New Entropia Universe Cash Card Finalized

[aridash]

Please note that the improved Cash Card functions may require you to provide due dilligence to the card issuer.

take good notice if you are under 18 (UK, older elsewhere?) or have poor credit rating.

Of course. The main reason for the time frame is due to actual printing the cards and delivery. It takes time, especially during the summer.

Asking "when do we get em" is not unreasonable. Asking if those of us who paid for the card, only to have it cancelled, will be issued a new card with no extra charges is not unreasonable. Asking if we have to re-do all the paperwork involved with increasing our limits is also not unreasonable.

embossing takes 5 working days tops with a half decent embosser from order for a card to be made to it being in the post and landing on your doormat....

Its not as if theres thousand for MA to send or various card designs which require a run on one type then a run on another.

I am curious however as to if MA will be dealing with the cards themselves since MC wont do it for them

eg: Account maintence program
fraud detection


To create a account itself on the system takes less than 20 mins.... so im curious with all the reading what the numerous references to mind boggling amounts of paperwork and forms come from.

DO MA do credit checks then since its a "bank account"?

p.s Wonder when MA will have its first "bin hit"... i cna view the EOY report...

Fraud Loss:
TOTAL PED LOST: .....

yes that sound better
hope they will be cheaper too.

I didnt think the cost was to bad on the original card, even the fee's for xfers were not unreasonable...

I understand MA whant to pay back the "old" card , and we buy a new one , its probably more easy to handel.

But , i would like to know if "old" cash card older will have to make all the paper again to keep the withdraw amount increased.

I dont know for other people , but for me , its not so easy to get all those paper well made (due to official for other country).And i would apreciate a lot not have to make all that boring stuff again.

We are looking into this to see if it can avoided, but I think, as the card is backed by another provider, that they have their own procedures and routines.

If it can be done without paperwork, we will work towards that solution, for sure. But it is not entierly in MA hands though.

This is a joke, right?
Was there any plans ready for printing and delivery prior to agreement with card provider (graphics of card done beforehand and soon) or are you starting to to think about them just now?
If other than provider handles printing then I'm curious which company takes so long to print few hundred/thousand cards .

No joke. We have the stuff needed ready. The delays lay mainly within the bank sphere itself, due to slow-moving administrative and bureaucratic routines, I found out today. The paperwork leave a long trail on numerous desks. The actual printing should not take more than a day.
