Anyone know about the Banking payment system Capitalist?

#2
Haven't used them, but i have seen merchants accepting payments via capitalist , from what i understand that it is largely used to perform cross border transactions and not parking any money .

This EMI is pretty old. The card which they have been offering was being issued Walletto. As it has been mentioned above already it is better to be used for moving funds, not as a savings account.

Fellow Russians. It was somewhat popular in the professional "webmaster" circles. Haven't heard about any serious problems. 40k / 60k is certainly a large sum for them.

Don't confuse them with EMI, as they're not licensed anywhere and so they are just another payment system likes of perfect money (at least their website states nothing about their license, let alone corporate identity and I know that they accept SWIFT/SEPA payments to regular offshore companies as consulting/software development fees).

As @AlexPCS mentioned, they issue prepaid cards through Walletto UAB, a LT based EMI. But it may be an unpleasant surprise to learn how this is handled from legal side - card programme is arranged in the name of Hungarian Ltd. which has no direct links with Capitalist.

Would not recommend storing any meaningful amount there as there is no regulator you would be able to complain to and seek legal protection if something goes wrong.

Do you guys know if they are reliable and trustworthy enough to hold 40 or 60K euro with them?

You are actually right regarding their status, I was referring to it as "EMI" more because of its EMI-like characteristics.

They are registered in Serbia (russian friendly country). They all time changing banks payment details/accounts, this is because maybe banks block their account. And also they are russians. I can not recommend this for big amounts, very high risk to look your money.

Be careful with what you do with them, start slowly to see how it will go.
