Hello!
This will be short but hopefully clear.
1. Credit Cards:
AsianPay (SINGAPORE) Pte. Lt. Incorporation has been completed and we are depositing the paid-up capital.
In the meanwhile we have completed the process to submit full documentation to Citibank in Singapore to complete our merchant application and we have applied for th Corporate Bank account with them. (It will be officialized in the beginning of the next week). I'm just back from Singapore and we expect to receive the final agreement for the sign and the technical documentation to integrate our system with Citibank gateway services within the next week.
Citibank is starting a fully new integration system and they will not allow new merchants to start before August 15th. We need anyway at least on week to complete and verify all the technical aspects of the Integration.
Accordingly to the above, we plan to restart Credit Cards Operations between August 20th and August 30th. I will be able to announce the final date later next week. In the beginning we will accept only Visa and Mastercard, but within the end of September also AMEX services will be restarted.
Our Singapore offices will open on September 1st, and we will publish in time address and all the related information following our commitment to high transparence. I can anticipate, for those who know Singapore or live there, that our offices will be located at The Prudential Tower.
2. Asianpay Debit cards:
Asianpay Payments will have it's own Brand name Debit Card. We have joind the well known Canadian provider: Card One Plus (
http://cardoneplus.com ) and they are processing our application doing their own due diligence and all the Credit and Criminal records check. The last information we had is that everything should be almost ready in the next week. Printing of the Crads will need some more time. We have pre-ordered 5,000 cards, wee have already paid 50% of the total amount as established by our agreement with them, and we plan to start the pre-sale of Asianpay debit cards from August 25th for first delivery end of September. More information will be published at our web site and here also as soon as will be available.
Kind regards
