Title: Moneybookers mastercard
Post by: CofkoCof on February 17, 2010, 06:00: Just got an email that Moneybookers now also offers a prepaid Mastercard (basicly just like payoneer). Might be interesting info for some of you.

Post by: leaf on February 17, 2010, 06:19: thanks for the info - yeah that might be interesting. It would be a way to use american funds at places which don't allow paypal.

They make the payment to moneybookers and you then use the card to withdraw/pay from your moneybookers account

Post by: borg on February 17, 2010, 07:08: Problem is that American companies can not make payouts on moneybookers...
Many smaller stock agencies have this problem...

So I don't see nothing what will be different now with mastercard card...

Also, I don't see any official promotion on their site...

Yes but only from big one!

Cutcaster can not make payout on MB, Zymm couldn't, Printbusinesscard also, and many others...
They all canceled Moneybookers as a payout cca six month ago...
Shutter and some other big probably have office outside of USA...

FP for example is not so big , but I get MB payouts whenever I request one , last one not so long ago so there is always a way just if they are willing to try.

I dont know but it seems that Cutcaster also can use MB according to this: http://www.cutcaster.com/info/payments (http://www.cutcaster.com/info/payments)

By the way I don't contribute to sites that cant arrange moneybookers payout , and many people that I know also dont.

I wonder if someone can make a list of those new sites that are able to pay us with MB so I dont have to search one by one

I know that all big 6 , Canstock , Featurepics , Bigstock and Crestock can make payments with MB.

What about others ?

Peter, anyway, every time you withdraw money using ATM they would charge you the same amount of 1,8 euros like when you transfer money from MB to your bank account. And your bank could charge even more...you never know
So you could effectively use it only for payments, and not to withdraw cash.

Me neither.... It's because we live...you know where... so close, but so far from the rest of the world.
