OKPay no longer offering services to US customers

[Rishodi]

As of today, I logged into my OKPay account and was greeted with the following notice. It states that OKPay will no longer offer financial services to accounts based in the United States, and requests that all US citizens and businesses withdraw their funds from OKPay by the end of the year.

For several months, OKPay has not been accepting new account registrations from the US. I had hoped that they would continue to allow existing accounts based in the US to function. Unfortunately, it looks like another innovative and useful financial service is no longer available to those of us in the US thanks to the overly restrictive and burdersome government regulations we have here.



Edit: So far there has been no official announcement of this policy change on OKPay's news page.

Thanks for the heads up, i was only aware that they were not allowing new us customers, but now i see even us customers who live abroad are disqualified...

Too bad, i liked OkPay.

Maybe thisi s part of the reason that btc-e isn't accepting USD deposits any longer.
