Strange how it's only valid for a year as opposed to the virtual cards 2 year validity. Does anyone know, once the year/2 years is up, will we get new wirecard account/card numbers or just a new expiry date?

No mention of any government tax?

cormie · 08-10-2008 02:11PM

That's the only info I got so I'm not sure. There's usually €40 govt tax on Irish CC's, yeah?

Maybe since it's not issued in Ireland it's not applicable

I just got my new plastic wirecard last week. It is valid for 2 years and I got ti 5 days after ordering it online with my card password a few days later, not sure about the Irish goverment fee on it so far.

Another question for any of you who have a wirecard account, have you been able to phone their phone numbers in Germany as I have not been able to reach them

Yup, do it through your online banking account and not through wirecard

Would be good of you could log in to your WireCard and just ''call'' the money from your Irish account to your German one. :eek:

Wishful thinking!

It takes an average of 5 - 7 days to credit any transferred funds to your Wirecard account unless you do a same day payment, which costs about 13 euro and it could still take Wirecard 4 days to see this payment so is a waste of time and money as they dont really care:D

Hi, does this work for with paypal?

Yes, you can set up a Paypal address with your virtual card number from them.

I just got it all set up there, and when i went to add a card to deposit money, it wont let me add my AIB Laser card:(

So i take it you cant use Laser cards with this?

edit:

oh wait, under "Wire Transfer" it lets me add details like IBAN etc, (which i have for my Laser) is this the right way to go?

Wirecard doesnt accept Laser as a form of payment, to do a IBAN payment you need to log into AIB Internet Banking site and enter Wirecards IBAN and the rest of the details.

2 ways to do it - over 4 days which will be seen after 7 days or Urgent which should be seen in 3 or 4 days

It takes about four working days so I'd say Thursday evening/afternoon!!

cormie · 22-10-2008 04:44PM

depositing money on Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday will all only be actioned on Monday at the earliest, and I'd allow all that week and the next before you get worried.

PeteK* · 22-10-2008 05:30PM

Friday is the latest cos I need it for a hotel booking Saturday morning. :eek:
Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow if it does take 4 days or so.

I know they do work til late in the evening.. got a reply once at 10PM our time!

Best to ask your bank for the value date for your payment to Wirecard therefore you will have an idea when the funds will be available.

cormie · 22-10-2008 09:44PM

Value dates don't really make a difference, every transaction I've made has been valued the next day but has taken various amounts of time to show up

curious22 · 22-10-2008 11:37PM

Just registered with wirecard. Can I receive wire transfers into my account?

PeteK* · 23-10-2008 11:33PM

I did get it today, I had it there around noon when I checked.

What is a Value Date??

As for the email, they replied with a load of shíte about sending them this and that, which I've already done!!

To be allowed to that you have to prove who you are and send them details. They'll tell you all they need.

I got the same about 2 weeks after sending the stuff to prove who I am ...

How do you receive payments anyway?

yaynay · 30-10-2008 10:39AM

Hi,

Singed up today. Was add my BOI account to add funds using my bank account.

Does it work for BOI? Sorry if this question has been asked already (too many pages in this thread to read

)

Cheers,

ÉM

cormie · 03-11-2008 02:07AM

I've had 2 large enough payments "reserved" for over 2 weeks now, I thought if the money wasn't taken within 7 days, it couldn't be taken again or something? I hope whatever the reason, my card wont be blacklisted by the seller as dodgy?

how do you sign up if you live in the rural back end of nowhere with no street number and no postal code.

Do an international money transfer using the IBAN and BIC of your Wirecard account. You will need to add Wirecard as a beneficiary on your online banking.

I think the account you make the transfer from must be the one that you have registered on your Wirecard account or otherwise it will be seen as a third party payment which cannot be accepted to an uncertified account. I am not 100% sure though as things have changed since I set it up.

DogPawHat · 15-11-2008 12:02PM

okay, i cant register my iban with wirecard, they say it is not in the correct fromat even though it match my bank statement. it looks something like this
IE48BOFIxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
