What is going on with First Choice?

[a_haze420]

This Cosmo pay thing does show up on my streamate dashboard as a payment option but it said "not available in all countries see website for details" then couldn't find any details on the Cosmo website lol

 

[a_haze420]

Sorry if this is huge on mobile.

 

[GweenBlack]

It is not an option as far as I see:

I even went to my CB account thinking it was a latin american thing, but nope, same as yours, Amber

(had to go change my info from FCP to Paxum anyways)

What a nightmare

Is there anyone from Europe broadcasting on cb (or mfc) here that does NOT use firstchoicepay or paxum?

This is the 1 million question for me too . Did you get any (helpful) replies?

It is only available to European countries at this time. I don't know if it is officially a payment option or not. Or if the site is reputable. At least the Chaturbate blog said they hope to make an official announcement this week about alternative payment options so maybe that will clear things up a little.

As my screenshot above shows it is an official option on streamate

I understand. I meant for Chaturbate since some are saying it is there and others can't see it. I should have clarified that since I was replying to your post.

 

[InkInSkin]

It's available for me on CB

 

[DahliaAja]

Cosmopay is good now to create accounts , but i don t trust much this site yet, let s wait a few more days , i bet mfc will add them as a payment too.

 

[BufordT]

Maybe Chaturbate only has it as an option for people in countries who it is available for and Streamate/I'm Live have it enabled for all.

Yea, I would still want to find out more about it first too. That is one reason some want to hear it announced officially too.

I use Wire

 

[Teagan]

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?

No. Choice Bank shutting down is the reason. FCP has actually done nothing wrong here. They have been a good and trustworthy site for a long time, if they could get a different backer that'd be best case scenario really.

I tried signing up for Cosmo Pay..and it turns out they only accept countries in Europe. I hope this is only temporary and they are going to add additional countries later on.

It's available for me on CB

Its weird...last night Cosmo Pay was available for me too. I just checked again today and now its gone. @InkInSkin can you confirm again if its still available for you? Maybe since its not yet ready CB pull that option out?

 

[Laura0210]

Paxum is shitty and lame and etc.

I submitted my docs 5 days ago and still no reply from them. I hope this century i'll have my account verified.

 

[omgwtf]

I had very good experience with paxum for over a year. Was using card with no problem as also makin wire from paxum to bank sometimes (3-4business day).
I just don't understand why won't they tell their clients who will issue new cards.

For 3 days I'm waiting for my documents at epayservices to be approved :/

 

[nicehotjob]

We are from slovakia and signed COSMO. At first cosmo surprisded me with cool feature of virtual card. after you sign you get virtual card so till you dont receive plastic card you can use your money! wow ! that can calm down this situation. You can use your virtual card to pay things online. I have added this option on chaturbate today. Yesterday was only comming soon. Tomorrow i get payment from chatrubate and i can you tell you more.

 

[DahliaAja]

Fucking hell , so i still didn t recieve my wire transfer from mfc when i used this option many years ago i would recieve the money next day , now it s been 2 days , i am freaking paranoid

Can you tell me please which bank mfc use when they send wires ?

I have a small insight to offer .
Whenever a big website is adding a new payment solution provider, it's not a simple Java button on a web page, or an IT ticket, or an R&D bug fix task.
This is a mass project on their ends, and is usually done in careful stages in order to ensure its success. it's called a roll out by most operational lingos.
With that being said, here's what I suggest, instead of creating a havoc, let's wait for each website's instructions, and see that everything runs through. Everybody's support channels are most likely overwhelmed, however I strongly believe that no one is being ignored. I'd also like to add, that this is the time to show respect for each other, and assist, a value that models taught me in here more than once. Some of the people viewing this thread have experienced bigger changes, and went through them with flying collars, so I let a newbie like myself listen to them and learn.
I'm making an educated guess here, so feel free to take what I say with a grain of sand

 

[charlene_arthur]

I use Wire

Did you get your money by wire yet?

 

[maria herna]

Oh my god... how many news?!ARRGHHH...
so:
-paxum: fuck! 1 week ago I submitted my documents and still not verified!!!! I yet hate them
- cosmo??? what is this? I think if many site put that in payments methos it cannot be a "fake"
- epayments: just I know that they cant receive WIRE in usd

 

[sassy001]

so what matter with this Cosmo if our money are to CHOISE BANK as far as i understood they are stucked there not of First Choise ,I think thats the hiding part of the problem bc maybe FCP not even have what to transfer to COSMO ! I reallyyyy hope i m wrongggg !

Cosmo and first choice are not the same company.... Cosmo is a new payment method. Your money from first choice would not be there. Its 2 different companies. You need to get your current money from FCP but people can receive new payments from cosmo. Not sure where you got this info that Cosmo would have your money as that currently is not the case. Please stop spreading wrong info we need to make sure people know what's going on not make assumptions.

Hey for sure my english is verry bad ,read carefully still i didn t say money are to COSMO )))))) for those who understood my point ,if money are to CHOISE BANK and not to FCP than we will be happie only receive new payments on COSMO and MAYBE the virtual funds

@Mandy Chen
It's still available for me!

@Laura0210
Day 8 here, still not verified.

@nicehotjob
Sounds good. Can you withdraw to an external bank account with Cosmo?

 

[dark_mermaid]

No. Choice Bank shutting down is the reason. FCP has actually done nothing wrong here. They have been a good and trustworthy site for a long time, if they could get a different backer that'd be best case scenario really.

If it was only that, they could just find a new bank and credit card provider. Plus the communication from firstchoicepay was just...well...non existent and apparently not only towards customers, towards their employees as well.

I'm on day seven at Paxum since my application. I don't blame them though, the amount of applications will be through the roof.

 

[maria herna]

Just sign up in cosmo
For verification the first thing they ask is "source of founds"... I dont know what I have to write...chaturbate??
-paxum: me too not verified...1 week ...
cosmo cant wire to bank... looking in them site.. its just a card as fcp... the related bank is "intercash" in isle of man..

 

[Adrianna__]

I signed up for Cosmo just now. It looks like a breeze and too good to be true (compared to Paxum, epayments and eservices way heavier procedures and still no verification after 5 days). However I remember having the same breezy feeling when starting with Payoneer years ago and it was as good as it looked ...
In the verification email I got it says my card will be printed and send to me the next 5-7 days. I just hope its legit and MFC adds it too, so we can move on to better days
