What is going on with First Choice?

[InkInSkin]

Hello anyone out there can help me why i can't apply for card? I got verified tho and linked it on streamate but still pending on sm. What documents paxum need to apply for a card? Or do i need to recieve money first before i can apply for card? Thank u

I think you need multiple payments, not only one. I've been verified for 10 days, but only today was I able to apply for a Paxum Temporary Mastercard. I've received about 7-8 payments in these 10 days.
It looks like they're employing the same method as FCP used to with their Make a Payment service.
If you wanted to send money to another FCP account holder, you were required to receive a certain amount of money first in order to qualify for the service.
It's just an assumption.

You need to upload Documents for verification. ID Card, Phone and adress. After they verify you, you can order the card.
You can order it before you receive money, your balance will just go to a minus and then after you get paid they take the money for the card.

I am already verified I just can't order card

Did they verify all 3? Maybe you need to contact then the support. It seems that a document is missing.

A very recent hope, for all users of FCP with frozen money: this ROB (I spoken with him also in english chat on 13 april) ...

You are from Colombia, right? ¿Cómo te están pagando ahorita? ¿abriste una cuenta en otro lado? No encuentro ayuda en nuestro idioma y lo se que hacer por que igual Paxum funciona mejor para Europa y North America, pero veo complicaciones en America Latina.

Do you know if its safe to ask for a check sent by mail in order to have my payment? I'm from Mexico, have you done that before?

 

[Norandra]

I did the cheque in the mail method for my first year and it worked fine. Of course you are really at the mercy of your postal service, and any Canadian knows our service has gone postal (pun intended).
So yes, it's safe. It took about two weeks for mine to arrive after payout, and my bank held the cheques for a month to clear.

I requested a daily payout from CB on Tuesday (4/24th) , there was no email from them . I emailed them on Friday and they replied that the payment needs 3 working days to hit my Cosmo account because its the first payment . So, I'm waiting.

My Cosmo account is verified and I have already received the card as well.

 

[Sophiestique]

Thank you very much for answering. 3 working days are already over tho. Hoping things will be faster after 1st payment. Can you message me when u receive the payment? Thx again

In Mexico the mail service its not safe. Just open bank account, so the site can deposit into your account.

I had similar issue, unable to order card from Paxum. All documents already uploaded and approved, account Verified. When I contacted octav@paxum.com and was told it was because document I used for address verification lacked expiry date. Local Russian passports for domestic travel do not have expiry date. Paxum edited information on their end, and problem was resolved!

Working days are weekdays. So if you requested it Friday you would that would be 1 day and Monday would be the second working day as weekends don't count.

Thanks! actually I'm trying to get verified in Paxum, let's see how it works.

After 14 days, the money is not still on my account. Why is the wire so long? I gave all the needed data and the message from cb is still the same: "be patient!". The situation is very stressful; i am getting sick about it I can't work anymore because I could not pay my internet bill (and the electricity neither). Please @AmberCutie, do you know what bank is linked to cb so that I can contact them in order to know what is wrong? The messages from cb are not helpful...

I did, and the money was on my Paxum account by the evening (Friday). Still waiting for the Cosmo card (and Cosmo to start processing payments).

I'm willing to bet that she does not. She doesn't even work on CB. This is not a CB support forum, and is not affiliated with CB. (I hate how often we have to explain this because surely it is only making us rise in the search results for such a thing...) @punker barbie on the other hand does work for them. Good luck.

This situation sucks, I get it and I empathize, but hounding uninvolved parties for information that they don't have is definitely not going to achieve any positive outcome.

card are good if you withdraw in USD currency.... other currency cost 2/3% more....and fcp was good 4/5000 usd everyday....cosmo only 500 everyday, is shit, better wire transfer and withdraw in bank 10/20.000 dollars everytime

 

[MelissaLauren]

.and fcp was good 4/5000 usd everyday....cosmo only 500 everyday, is shit, better wire transfer and withdraw in bank 10/20.000 dollars everytime

Please don't spread wrong information... With the Cosmo card, you can withdraw $3,000 per day (5x $600).
And the 3.5% foreign currency fee is because of Mastercard themselves, not Cosmo. FCP was the same way.

Some news about Choice Bank on external forum:

Caporaso and Partners
I had some answers with a parallel investigation: it seems that Wire Cards (provider of the Master Cards distributed by Choice Bank) shot down their program and create the liquidity problem. This happens few months ago with Wave Crest that had suspended their VISA program without prior notice and then their Master Cards program with 15 days’ notice. Now Choice Bank need to get all their (our) money back and it will take few weeks, then they can start to pay out. Of course, the bank will need a plan to avoid massive withdraw than can cause bank’s bankruptcy. Caporaso & Partners still work to press Choice Bank to notify their plan to all customers and be transparent. We also ask to all customers to join our group and give us a Power of Attorney to show to the bank and the Central Bank that we are one for all and all for one. Our money is not insured so we have to act fast but think first about cause and effect relation in our behavior.

Amber does not work for chaturbate. Not sure why everyone always thinks she does. Contact chaturbate support or @punker barbie

[pallino]

now is possible receive payment from cb and withdraw with card or there are some problems/dalay?

 

[TheSence]

good question. i also got the cosmo card but what happens when i get money from MFC that is over 6000? Will it be declined? Or will they load 6000 to the card the rest will go to a virtual account like on fcp?

 

[pallino]

someone have try to withdraw more than 600usd in 1 operation?

 

[bbbosic]

That $600 limit is really low and stupid. How do I know how much euro's that is? I don't know what the conversion rate of Mastercard on that moment is.

I reaally hope Caporaso & Partners is a trustworthy firm. When people are desperate a lot of "sharks" show up. And there are quite a lot of bad comments if you google the owner's name and some also with his company. The fact that his company also has funds frozen with FCP / Payoneer can complicate matters as they might try to give absolute priority to that. They ask 1000 Euro to all of us just to for the basics, which sounds steep. I dunno....I am worried and it's hard to see anything clear in this situation anymore.

And not related, but there is also this that I found:
"The Payoneer Prepaid MasterCard card is issued by Choice Bank Limited, Wirecard Card Solutions Ltd ("WDCS") (authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority), or First Covenant Bank (member FDIC), pursuant to a license by MasterCard� International Incorporated. MasterCard� is a registered trademark of MasterCard International Incorporated."
