STEP 1. Before you transfer funds from your Visa into your ePassporte account, you must fill in your credit card details.
STEP 2. Next, your credit card must be verified. Once you've provided your credit card details, ePassporte will place a pending charge on your Visa from $0.01 to $2.00 USD.
This pending charge will be sent to your credit card within a few minutes and will disappear from your card in a couple of days. You will not be charged this amount and the pending charge will not show up on your mailed statement.
Once you've reached this step, you will need to call your credit card company or check your online account statement to determine the amount of the pending charge.
Pending charges are not always visible on online statements. If you do not see the pending charge online, you will need to call your credit card company to request the amount of the pending charge over the phone.
After you've located the amount of the pending charge, you can select it from the drop down menu on this page to complete the verification process.
