Hi there all,
This is obviously of no interest to USA members as Neteller is not an option any longer so you can ignore this, however those still using Neteller may want to read this (I haven't yet been able to clarify that it's 100% correct).
Update: This is definitely 100% correct and genuine. You can read this on the Neteller press release area:-
https://content.neteller.com/content/en/member_businessupdate_netellercard.htm
Anyways, what it advises is that
NO MORE WITHDRAWING TO NETELLER DEBIT CARDS - WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT (although I could still get this option when in Neteller)
NO MORE USAGE OF THE DEBIT CARD FROM MAY 2ND 2007.
I'm not really sure how genuine this email is, but I would exercise some caution and withdraw any remaining funds on your Debit Card balances ASAP and wait to see what happens on Neteller.
There was no information like this on the site, so I'm hoping this was a hoax. If true, this email was perhaps planned not for my receipt so early lol.
Below is a copy of the full email I received..
In an ongoing effort to keep you informed, we would like to let you know that the third-party provider for the NETELLER Card has very recently advised that under the rules relating to the Cirrus/Maestro Network, it can no longer support those branded cards. Consequently, members with NETELLER Cards will be affected. This should not affect you as a NETELLER merchant.
Important dates
Effective immediately, members will not be able to withdraw funds from their e-wallet to their NETELLER Card. They will, however, have until May 2, 2007 to use the funds that are presently on their Cards.
We will be sending out an email to all NETELLER Card holders encouraging them to use the funds on their Cards before this date. After May 2, we will credit remaining funds on their cards back to their NETELLER e-wallets.
We regret any inconvenience and are working hard to provide new card services as quickly as possible. Should you have any questions, please contact NETELLER Merchant Business Development, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Thank you for choosing NETELLER.
NETELLER Merchant Business Development
