Title: Sharing my experiences with OKPAY.com Post by: theh1982 on December 12, 2013, 05:34:16 PM Hey fellow newbies,
Just in case you start investing in bitcoins I wanted to let you know the process of getting funds with OKPAY.com via Bank transfer First of you will need to have a verified account which means you need to upload a picture of your passport and a picture of a recent bill (phone bill /esb bill) with your name on it I used my phone and an app call CamScanner to make it look like a proper scan. The verification process takes about 3 to 4 business days at the moment since they seem to be pretty busy. After that you can deposit funds via bank transfer which can take much longer (mine took 7 business days !) In terms of support expect very little as in my experience they removed my forum posts asking for updates (3 times) and they don't answer the phone if you call their support number. However I did receive my funds eventually... hope this helps !

I guess you used OKPAY to fund Btc-e account, right?
Title: Re: Sharing my experiences with OKPAY.com Post by: qosmio on December 12, 2013, 06:44:22 PM I found btc-e account with direct money wire qnd attached id and electric bill to btc-e ticket and 3 days later funds were on my acccount, with okpay I gave up after they did not acccept my id scan.

How much are you all depositing with BTC-e? I gave up as OKPay seemed cumbersome. Title: Re: Sharing my experiences with OKPAY.com Post by: ajax3592 on December 12, 2013, 09:03:45 PM BTC-e and Okpay are getting very bad reviews lately due to selective scamming.
Looks like OP was lucky.

Looks like OP was lucky. Selective scamming is weird. I believe Okpay must have licence for card transactions, so it should not be hard to close Okpay if some people are scammed Title: Re: Sharing my experiences with OKPAY.com Post by: monocle on December 12, 2013, 09:54:20 PM Yes, that's why I was asking how much they deposited. I wouldn't deposit over a couple of thousand USD......
