Title: OKPay not allowing new USA accounts Post by: tclo on July 04, 2013, 11:14:48 PM I wonder if they are closing all the accounts that exist as well? I finally get around to creating an account and says
Dear Client! We are currently not able to process financial operation in favor of individuals or companies based in the United States of America. This includes US citizens residing overseas. We apologize for the inconvenience, OKPAY Team Title: Re: OKPay not allowing new USA accounts Post by: TheKoziTwo on July 05, 2013, 12:17:56 AM They probably will, it's too dangerous to take on US clients these days. I believe perfect money recently did they same thing, and closed all current active US accounts.
Let me quote this excellent piece from an article I read recently: Quote "Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it." - Albert Einstein [source] (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/08/what_about_a_us_tech_boycott/)To effect change we are left with a boycott in everything but name. It means that non-US Western businesses need to start using "not subject to US law" as a marketing point. We need cloud providers and software vendors that don't have a US presence, no US data centers, no US employees - no legal attack surface in that nation of any kind. Perhaps most critical of all, we need a non-American credit-card company. If enough of us start to pull our technology purchases out of the US they will indeed sit up and take notice; money leaving the country may well be one of the only things that will ever cause them to do so.

Woop!! :P :P Man I really screwed up by not setting up an account earlier. You snooze you lose and this will cost me a lot.

I had to send my verification documents to their office in Cyprus.
Never had a problem with them (other than requiring a ton of verification) though, so maybe they aren't all that bad. |
