Virtual Wallet
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007There is a new service out by E-Pay which is creating a lot of buzz throughout the internet especially among international travelers and people who tend to send money abroad or who are supporting their family living in another country. The service allows E-Pay account holders to order special debit cards which can be used anywhere credit cards are accepted in over 190 countries worldwide. But what sets these cards apart other than being truly international (unlike most local debit cards) is the fact that you can completely control their budget using your online E-Pay account interface. They already have been giving the nickname virtual wallet since they are basically like a wallet where you can add money to, use and even discard of if you don’t wan to fill the wallet\card with more money anymore.
In fact you can order more than one card and simply keep the extra cards as spare and fill them up with cash whenever you need to. Many people who are supporting families abroad have discovered that these cards pose as a perfect solution for sending money to their loved ones back home. The unique part using these cards is that you dont really have to send money internationally and therefore it is much cheaper, simpler and faster. Basically what people are doing is sending debit cards to their loved ones oversees and whenever they want to send them money they simply add funds to that individual debit card from their E-Pay account. This way their family members can use the card for shopping instead of cash or if they would like, they can withdraw the balance at any ATM machine.
The cards are also popular among travelers who don’t want to carry large amounts of cash with them and don’t want to risk loosing their credit card. They can simply fill the card with what they need and if they lose the card they can cancel its balance and use another one. You can sign up for an E-Pay account epay.vg. Debit cards typically take about 3 weeks to arrive by mail.
