News from e-forexgold:
Effective May 25th we had to temporarily suspend all e-gold out exchanges. We expect to resume normal operations with e-gold soon. E-gold's "in-house" exchanger, OMNIPay, has closed the office, at this stage until June 18th, due to change of bank accounts. As a market maker we rely heavily on OMNIpay to redeem any extra e-gold. Since OMNIpay is temporarily unable to provide the service, we also were forced to suspend e-gold out exchanges. We do hope that everything will be aback to normal very soon.
As we have announced in our last Newsletter, there is a good News for our customers based in Australia. New ATM cards have arrived! We have secured the issued of local ATM cards denominated in AUD. (We are still expecting the replacement of sovereign debit cards, however, this is a separate issue and it is available now).
We received many questions in the last few days on whether or not these cards can be funded by e-currencies. The answer is YES. You can fund them by e-bullion, pecunix, Webmoney and Technocash via our site. Plus the issuer provides additional direct funding options via bank, post office and so on.
For those who may wish to purchase a new card - in could be ordered directly from the issuer at
www.aussiedebitcard.com. With our help you can convert funds in your electronic accounts ( e-bullion and others) into cash. These cards are accepted at any ATM displaying Cirrus or Maestro logos. If you had previously purchased the Sovereign ATM card from us, you are eligible for a discount when ordering these new cards.
The following features apply to these cards:
• based on Cirrus/Maestro network, can be used at any ATM worldwide, which displays Cirrus or Maestro logos.
• Can be used to withdraw cash as well as for purchases at shops, service stations, restaurants and other places where Cirrus/Maestro cards are accepted.
• Cardholder’s name does not appear on the card. One person can order a few cards.
• The cards do not have expiry date.
• funds kept in the account in AUD.
• Online balance check – Yes.
* Card-to-card transfers - Yes.
* Many convenient local funding options.
More information is available from the card's issuer.
IMPORTANT NOTICE for former Sovereign cards holders: the bank has sent out the checks for the remaining balances on the cards. Some of our cardholders have received the check already. You can deposit your "sovereign" closing balance check to your Aussie debit card (discribed above). To do that please contact us for instructions.
In addition to this, we expect to have new Euro denominated debit cards in stock sometime next month.
