A quick reminder to all StrictPay customers with a StrictPay debit card, that there will be no debit card loads on Monday January 19th, 2009. Monday is a non-business day recognized by the debit card provider due to the Martin Luther King Jr holiday, and all debit card loads will be processed on Tuesday. Any debit card loads requested prior to Tuesday morning will arrive on your cards around Tuesday evening at 6pm Pacific Standard Time. Due to this holiday, there will also be no ACH transactions either on Monday January 19, 2009.

After our last site redesign, we received a lot of great feedback, so we decided to make a few more changes as well. You will not notice some of the changes, and of course others are fairly obvious. We feel very comfortable with this newest inception, and we feel that this will carry us for a long time into the future. Please take a few minutes to browse around the site to familiarize yourself with all the final changes.

And also keep in mind that if you are having trouble completing a particular task, you can always look to the Helpful Hints box at the upper right corner of the screen. Here you may find a hint as to how to complete the exact task you are undertaking, and of course you can also click on our Live Chat Support feature as well, which is now prominently displayed at the very top right side of every page.

As always, we appreciate you choosing StrictPay as your payment option.

Our hosting company will be doing maintenance on our servers on Wednesday January 28th for about 6 hours total during the day. We have not been notified of an exact time for the maintenance to occur, but we are expecting it to begin sometime around 11am Central Standard Time. During the time the maintenance is taking place you will be unable to access the site, but you will be able to complete any transactions before or after the downtime.

Please plan accordingly, and we apologize for the short inconvenience.

Thanks

We just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that our ACH withdraw option is active again. We still do not have a time frame on the ACH deposit feature, but once we have an update we will let everyone know.

Thank You

StrictPay Customers

We are happy to announce some new deposit and withdraw options available to all StrictPay customers.

We have recently added the option to withdraw funds from your StrictPay account directly to your LibertyReserve account. The processing times are similar to a bank wire withdraw request, and the fees are reasonable as well. We have had numerous requests for this option to be added, and we are glad to be able to offer this as another option to all of our customers.

We also now offer three additional methods to deposit funds into your StrictPay account. You can fund your account with a cashier's check, a personal check, or a money order. This is another option that we have had many customers request, and this should give people an additional inexpensive means to fund their StrictPay account.

Please take a couple minutes to visit each of the pages for the new options, and you will find out additional details, such as times to process the requests as well as the fee structure for each.

Thanks

Liberty Reserve has recently contacted us, and they will no longer allow us to accept deposits into a StrictPay account from a Liberty Reserve account. We will however still be allowed to let people withdraw funds from their StrictPay account into their Liberty Reserve account for the time being. You can do this by clicking on the Withdraw link inside your StrictPay account, and then scroll down to the Liberty Reserve option. Follow the instructions on this page and our funding department will complete that transfer for you within 24 to 48 hours.

There are a couple other situations we want to update you on as well. We currently are still trying to come to terms with our ACH provider as to whether we will be able to re-activate our ACH deposit feature, and we will update you if we see any progress. Our debit card provider is also currently doing some internal maintenance, and it appears that we will not be able to resume debit card loads until sometime early next week. We hope to be able to allow people to start requesting debit card loads early next week with the funds reaching the cards the very next business day, and we will update everyone again as soon as we know a definite time frame.

We know you have many options available to you, and we appreciate you choosing us as your payment option.

Thanks

As many of you know, we believed our debit card provider was doing some internal maintenance, but we never exactly understood the specifics of what that meant. After speaking with the CEO of the provider, it is now apparent that it is not a situation of them doing some maintenance on their website, but that they are actually dealing with some internal restructuring. They are currently going through a shift in ownership, and working on how that shift will exactly take place. Now that we know exactly what the situation is, we feel it is imperative that we see the outcome of this change in ownership, and any possible changes in terms and conditions, before we feel comfortable continuing to do business with them. We have had a great relationship with them since the day we launched, and we still feel they offer a good product, but for the protection of our customers and our company we feel we need to see how this all works out before we can move forward with the new ownership.

There are a couple things that we need you to please keep in mind as this process works toward a conclusion:

First, we did a lot of research prior to launching StrictPay, to insure that we had a name ***** debit card available from the very beginning. This entailed looking at many different providers, and comparing what each one had to offer and could provide for our projected growth. We chose the one that had the best combination of security, processing times, and customer service, but we did have a back up company standing by just in case. Over time, we realized that the current provider offered everything we needed, and we no longer kept in touch with the back up company.

Next, we know exactly what the start up time frame is if we choose to start over with an entirely different provider, and it will not be a quick process. The reason we worked so hard to make sure we had the right provider prior to launch is because we had to make sure we had everything in place well before the day we opened. There are a number of reasons many payment processors can not seem to get a debit card platform launched, and some of the most common reasons include length of time for startup, time consuming in depth background checks, and large initial investment costs.

Finally, we cannot in good faith continue sending the current provider anymore new debit card orders, or funds for existing cards, until we know for sure exactly what, if any, changes will occur with these ownership changes. They have assured us that things are going to remain exactly the same, but we cannot make a major business decision to move forward with them until we know this for sure.

While we want to help our customers, we know that starting all over with a new provider will take at least 60 to 90 days before we could have the new debit cards in place to even begin taking orders. Add to that the processing and shipping times, and we are likely looking at 120 days before anyone could even begin to start loading funds onto a new card. Not to mention the process of switching every current card-holding customer over to the new card provider. And we believe that the ownership change with the current provider will not take anywhere near that amount of time, and will result in us still being able to utilize their services.

All the above-mentioned reasons are why we have decided to stay the course with the current provider while they are going through these changes. We know this will be a major inconvenience for some of you, and we apologize for that. We just hope that you can understand that every decision we make is for the long-term future of our company, and that all of you see our decision-making in the past as a great example of this as well. The current provider has assured us that they will keep us updated on a daily basis, or as new information becomes available, and we will update all of you the day that we can move forward with all debit card activities again.

Please keep in mind that while this situation is working towards a conclusion, we still offer many other withdraw options for you to choose from.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this trying time.
