Hello,

I am a customer with the Euro Pacific Bank, and has generally been happy with them. However they got a new prepaid master card supplier, and I got a PrePaid SEPA MasterCard supplied by "Wirecard Solutions Ltd".
My account with EPB is registered in an offshore company, but I am living in an European country.

Does anyone know if I can use this card without having to worry about my spendings being reported to my local countries tax authorities through AEOI / CRS?

Hi.

Have the same situation. Only I have "Individual (Personal)" account.
I've asked EPB support about it. Will see what they'll answer.

Will be very stupid situation if "Wirecard Solutions Ltd" collect EPB card activity and report through AEOI / CRS.

Yes exactly, it seems like the card I got is also an individual one. I havent asked EPB about it though. Please update if you find out more.

My question to EPB.
And the answer from EPB (about nothing)

Thanks for response, Grigorijs.

I got this response from EPB:
"Please be advised, the new card issued to you is registered to your corporate account with us."

I also found this which might be relevant:
Payoneer / firstpaychoice and Automatic data exchange from OECD

So it seems like it is not a personal card afterall, and Wirecard will not be doing AEOI on behalf of the user/company of the card, as it it actually EPB which is the client of Wirecard, not the holder of the card, or something like that.

Card scheme regulations (both Visa and Mastercard) limit the way issuers can issue cards to people who are resident outside of the jurisdiction or region where the issuer is licensed.

Simply put, an EU issuer can practically only issue cards to EU residents.

Someone know if with EPB corporate account, with Eur debit card (issued in Uk), is under CRS?
My dubt is why, account where debit card is charged, is a corporation. But the card is personal.

The same problem is for who have Payoneer corporate account with debit card.
I'm EU citizen.

Someone have also fee/limits of EBP debit card?

Thanks a lot

Bank won't be around much longer I predict so card issues is least of your worries . I have a prediction in another thread that EPB will be dead by end of 2019.

The world is a different place now for banking. I can't get my head round EPB's management strategy of avoiding CRS and allowing shell companies
