AlertPay out of business in USA?

12 years ago

If you are trying to withdraw funds from your account, the only option for the U.S. now is by check. I have never had a problem with that, and getting funds within about 10 days. Their headquarters is in Canada.

Thanks

I've seen so many people mention them, thought they would have had a better option for US users. Don't see why people saying they were just as good or better than PP.

Thanks

People who are saying that are usually the people who have been banned at PayPal.

  Or those who have experienced PayPal's heavy hand.

  I respectfully disagree.
  
  AlertPay is a good alternative, maybe with some more attention in U.S. they can be as good as PayPal (I wouldn't say they are equal to PayPal not at the moment). This is beside, they earned a good publicity and trust worldwide

  That's funny Bill.
  
  The biggest challenge any of these systems have is dealing with the multi-national banking issues.

There are a few other PP alternatives besides AlertPay, two of them being 2checkout and Plimus (they both accept PP as a payment method besides cc).

Thanks

If they had a robust API like PayPal does, I'd give AlertPay more credit.

But my comment was to those that say that AlertPay is better than PayPal.

  I will have to take a look at that. This is a new development for them, since I last went to their site.
  
  Thank you for the link.

  Thank you for the link.
  
  No problem, am happy to help, if/when you do test it out, feel free to post about it, I may utilize it myself, as i've had enough of paypal exclusivity.
  
  Thanks

You may not like them. But PayPal is the best (in my opinion)

I hope no one thought I was knocking AlertPay, didn't mean it that way. I just remembering reading what others said about them not long ago and it sounded like they were on par with PP. Maybe they do have a great system, but it's hard to beat PP's almost instant access to funds.

Thanks

They did seem to be, a year ago, Ron.

I found their service preferable to PayPal's in all respects (except that more people had heard of PayPal).

Clearly, that's no longer true now. A credit-card processor that can't accept credit-card payments is of very limited value indeed.

Alertpay is also not accepting Visa and Mastercards at the moment. That is bad for business

That must be killing the sales for sellers.

AlertPay is largely out of business. If you have any money with them you should either move it (if you can) or consider it lost.

There were some threads last year about AlertPay. First, they started to restrict your ability to withdraw money by various means. Only "temporary" of course. More like permanent restrictions imposed by financial institutions.

AlertPay had the most ludicrous blog post proclaiming how good it was you could not get your money - because as more and more was locked up you would get a 'bigger' payment if someday the funds were released.

Now they cannot accept Mastercard or Visa. Another "temporary" restriction that is not so temporary.

IMHO, if you have money in AlertPay and can get it out, you are a fool for not doing so.

I don't know if it is a fraud issue as AP became the destination for those kicked out of PayPal, a management problem, an asset/security question, etc. But it is a little hard to offer online ecommerce services if you cannot accept Mastercard and Visa, and if you are prohibited from online transactions letting users withdraw their money.

Oddly, rings the same as the last year or two of ePassporte. Think I still have their atm card around, guess a part of history now.

It's a shame that alertpay went downhill. They were actually starting to look like a viable paypal alternative.

Oh well, back my authorize.net gateway and shopping cart system
