EntroPay: are they pulling the same stuff as PayPal?
 

EntroPay restricted my account when I was half way through the account application process. They asked me for a driver's license / passport / ID card, a utility bill, a photo of my funding source, and one other thing (can't remember off hand).
I don't have any utility bills as I pay room and board to others who I live with. I have a disability so I don't have a driver's license. Providing photos of my funding source is not a problem. I told them this and said that I could provide a health card, birth certificate, social insurence number card, student card (I attended a government run residensial school) and CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) card. I could also provide bank statements for address verification. In response to this I received an automated request for the docs which they had previously requested. At least PayPal is often willing to work with you if you are extra pleasant. So anyway, I go on the internet and research this only to find that many people just get their entropay accounts suspended after providing such information, whether funds are locked in the account or not.
Is EP really going to suspend / ban my account for little to no reason like PayPal will?
Is EP safe to use?
Can stealth EP accounts be created?

Thanks.

I also signed up for entropay and they asked for all kinds of documents after the signup process. I think its just standard procedure for them. I don't know if they will close your account. I signed up, but never sent them anything.

entropay is a bank, it may want docs, its fine, I am sure they will be flexible.

Donot panic. Ep is friendly company, if you will send photo ID(any), bank statement and photo for back and front funding source you will be fine.

1 year ago you could open EP without any documents, but they require those documents when you create your 3rd VCC or apply for the master card that they offer.

Now they just require documents upfront and they will require photo of back and front for the funding source if you will add new one in the future.

you should not have anything to worry about

use your own details for EP.....NOT stealth:thumb:

Yep as other people have said Entropay are often asking for documents early on now...

Just make sure you DONT enter stealth details always use REAL details and this will lower the chance of them asking for documents.

But if they do just give them what they want... :pop2:

Do NOT consider stealth. Your own ID should be fine.

DONT take an attitude with them. It should work out for you :)
