AVCash Introduces European Visa Electron Card

AVCash.com is offering their Webmasters an alternative way of receiving payments via a corporate Visa Electron card. Now, the company said, Webmasters can get their own card account with a well-established European bank "with all the bonuses," including receiving bank transfers directly to the Visa card.

"We are always looking for fast ways of sending payments to our Webmasters," AVCash.com CEO Vladimir Lanskikh told AVNOnline.com. "We have found an alternative to check payments. A lot of Webmasters like check payments, but we are not able to send checks ourselves. Checks are sent by iBill, our primary processor. This means that it is impossible to include referral money and money from secondary billings to those check payments as those sales are not registered with iBill.

"Plus, it takes a lot of time in some countries to cash the checks and the bank fee is high too. So we decided to come out with our own payment system that will allow us to make daily payments. The best variant was plastic cards, so we decided to issue our own corporate Visa Electron cards."

AVCash.com issues Visa Electron payments twice per month, on the same schedule that other payments are issued, or bi-weekly payments via check, bank transfer, epassporte or Visa card.

By the end of the year, AVCash.com is planning to implement a daily payment system and the Visa Electron card will be the only way to receive it. Bi-weekly payments will still be available. AVCash.com said payments to the corporate Visa card are very fast (taking around two hours) and free.

"This is a card from a real bank. It is not Fethard, Finex, Yambo or any other offshore bank," added Lanskikh. "It is possible to receive bank transfers from other sponsors at no charge and then withdraw the money from ATMs. This card is corporate and will have our company name on the card. Each time a Webmaster withdraws the money from an ATM, it looks like it is our company taking money and not the Webmaster personally. It is a next step to instant payments."

AVCash.com is the latest project from AVTeam Limited. AVTeam started to work on it around a year ago and it was fully launched in December 2003. The program includes eight sites to promote: one straight site with exclusive content (general hardcore with some unique idea), one exclusive teen site, and six celebrities sites. Currently AVCash offers up to 75 percent from each sale and further re-bills.

AVCash.com also offers free content, banners, a counter, full-page ads, text descriptions, free hosted galleries and free hosted sites to help Webmasters promote their sites. Free traffic trading software, a free site submitter to link lists, and a cascade billing solution are also offered.
