What is going on with First Choice?

[Chriss]

Just because someone claims it on an external forum, doesn’t make it a Chaturbate claim. We need to select our words carefully, I know I need to correct myself sometimes for sure.

Chaturbate and Imlive did claim it...
They have it on payments list...

The site for sure will be legit,

the only question is IT S PAYONEERS OR NOT?
That is what i d wanted to find out from @Dan Epstein before they make the announcement probably the next days to come...

Thank you...

If you click on the About Us section in cardportal.com it will get redirected to intercash.com...they even have Google Play apps and Apple apps for that. And they have some clients like Nvidia and GoodYear.

So it looks like Cosmo Payment is just like FCP. FCP use Choicebank, while Cosmo Pay use this Intercash company for its prepaid cards. Well I hope our balance at FCP get transferred to Cosmo

When you click on "sign up", it now redirects to a subdomain of cardportal.com . Does anyone know that site?
The site is already different compared to several hours ago. I guess they are still working on it. Of course wait until any official announcement.

When you enter sign up it drives you to wdcs card portal. With a little search on what that means you get that wdcs is an abbreviation from a prepaid debit card service providers. If you watch the link carefully you see that it redirects you to the page when you can apply for the card and the link ends with "=cosmopayment" which means that the card creation its associated with cosmopayment account
I attach here the details

You can mail to chaturbate and they will answer you about this new method. I found the answer of CB on some external Russian forum

Payfex card is issued by wired card solutions..payoneer works with wire card solutions... Any other questions?

Before you rely on an external forum, who moderates it? Are these affiliates? Models?Curious guests?
Similar components don't make the same product or service necessarily. A smartphone, a car, and a desktop computer, all have an Intel chip, does that make them the same? So relating a card product, may not mean they stem from the same place.

I am not sure what you try to tell us...
You say that cosmo isn t payoneers?
We will be precautious but again you are making a point here but i don t get it...
What exactly is the message for us?

That analogies don’t make facts, just because two companies use a specific solution, doesn’t mean that they’re one and the same

You may be right. We'll see

In my opinion if payoneer admit that they launch a new service provider but they are not able to pay the frozen money yet it will not be credited with trust (the new service I mean) so they prefer to have no correlation with the new service.

I never been so paranoid but this fcp situation drove me in this

 

[DahliaAja]

is so hard to tell us if this is payoneer or first choice option , dan ? we really are feeling like shit over here because of our payments ...

 

[Darkemporium]

Now you see why I'm protective of my friends here?

Dan ... there are any news on the "Stucked virtual accounts" side?

This is by far the number 1 priority of many members here

And now @Teagan will come and say there's no Stucked funds

 

[Teagan]

Grow up. You said a lot of false info and I called you on it and corrected you. That's your problem, not mine. If you have an issue with me instead of tagging me to be passive aggressive you can ignore me or take it to PM.

 

[Darkemporium]

And now @Teagan will come and say there's no Stucked funds

Honestly I'm worried! @Dan Epstein asked for an email days ago (I sent to him) and still not answered about my case If i'm missing something I'll be happy to have another answer from him Honestly I respect Teagan position but every case is different

 

[PunkCake]

I think we should all step back a little and wait.

The fact that CB added a new payment method unofficially (yet) says nothing. Lets wait for an official statement and then we can all start signing up to the new method.
I'm certain there will be a guide and a link provided by Chaturbate as well.

From Chaturbate's Blog LINK

"Update for Chaturbate Broadcasters who are affected by First Choice Pay’s inability to process payments: In addition to encouraging Broadcasters to sign up for a Paxum card, we are actively seeking secure and reliable companies to replace First Choice Pay. We hope to announce alternative options next week, April 16 - 20."



Of course there are funds stuck in the virtual accounts and we all are very worried. However we should have checked and payed more attention to the $10k limit of the card.

It doesnt really matter if this Cosmopayment is affiliated with FCP .. however
It would be great to have Dan around as the new payment's method rep. He has been extremely helpful to all of us.

Cheers!

 

[Studio88]

im assuming the card number will be the card issued by cosmo pay. and the requirement thereof is to help locate your account.

imlive was pretty close to payoneer in 9years we have been in business, and again imlive was the 1st to mention cosmo pay, after consulting payoneer regarding the payment option they have given us (which is payoneer btw)

if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck...its probably a duck.
its business, rebrand and move forward

It is a priority for me too.

 

[Darkemporium]

It is a priority for me too.

Thank you
Ok so ... no news :/

It is a priority for me too.

But any news, any plan? Are our money safe?

 

[InkInSkin]

More than an entire week has passed, and my Paxum account is still not verified, and it's starting to aggravate me.
They claim they're reviewing applications on a first come first served basis, but it's bs.
I submitted my docs waaay before the news broke.
That night, I made 2 transfers to another FCP account (my flatmate's who's also a camgirl).
The first one loaded onto her card without any issues whatsoever, but the 2nd one got stuck in the Nether Regions.
3 hours after sending the funds I contacted FCP via live chat, and the representative told me that FCP went belly up, they're ending their prepaid services.
I signed up with Paxum immediately.
At least 10 hours have passed after that, before the camsites started notifying cammers about the situation.
Anyways, I'm fed up with this bs with Paxum, I hate them already haha.
Think I'm gonna wait a week or two, put my payments on hold until this is resolved.

Not same boat...
They don t have stuck funds like we do, but I think they really work for this sittuation...
Cosmopay comes i think with an Indian bank, maybe they ll move our funds there and issue us new cards...
Hope they ll admit fast that Cosmo is Payoneer-FCP...

Sorry Christian but I don't understand the relation between a Belize bank and an Indian bank
Why they will move our funds there?

 

[MelissaLauren]

Streamate just added Cosmo as a payment option as well (for select countries)

It s not about banks here...
Fcp has the money...our money...
They move the funds from fcp platform to cosmo...
Then they can refill our card ballance because they have once again an issuing bank that can give, and suppport, cards...
It s clear for you?

Again...this is a positive oppinion (not fact), but in this particular moment if they are serious and don t wanna steal our money, it s...how can I say it... "do-able"

If cosmo was like a "newbie" these 3 videochat websites wouldn t accept it so fast...
If I creat tomorrow a paye platform I don t think that someone will give me a chance..
So just open your eyes please!
Don t think that I talk shit...

 

[a_haze420]

I think everyone is assuming a HELL of a lot here. I doubt FCP is transferring funds to this Cosmo pay or that They are even the same company and even if they were WAIT for the official announcement.

Edit: spreading misinformation will help No one so lets try to keep rumors aside and only use official info.

 

[dark_mermaid]

I'm amazed at how many people here want a revival of fcp under a name to be honest. I mean, isn't fcp the reason for the mess now?

 

[Studio88]

i dont think its about wanting a revival of FCP, its more that paxum hasnt helped many of us and its been over a week, with a 2nd forth night just 13days to end, everyone just needs an option to receive funds about now... its beyond frustration and more into despration now

 

[Saleena]

Has anyone else received an email from Chaturbate that funds have been sent to their Paxum but they've not received it in their account yet? It says can take up to 24 hours but usually it's nearly instant.

 

[AmberCutie]

Just because someone claims it on an external forum, doesn’t make it a Chaturbate claim. We need to select our words carefully, I know I need to correct myself sometimes for sure.

But it's added as payment method on the official chaturbate.com website. That's strange.

It is not an option as far as I see:
