Digital River and share-it! offer you the Visa Electron Card in partnership with ePassporte. This means that you will enter a contract with ePassporte. However, you must be registered as a shareware author with share-it!, have an account in good standing with share-it!, and you must already have received at least one payment via share-it!'s systems. In addition, your account with share-it! must have a balance of at least USD 60.00 (or equivalent in another currency) at the time you apply for a Visa Electron Card.
Please note that share-it! can make payments to the Visa Electron Card in USD only. If your account with share-it! is not administered in USD, your payment currency will be changed to USD automatically starting with your first use of your Visa Electron Card as payment type.

The process for requesting a Visa Electron Card is simple. Here are the steps:

• Log in to the share-it! Control Panel. Go to the Visa Electron Card sub-item in Administration, where you will find all information required as well as the application form.
• Fill out and send the form. Please note that processing may take between 2 and 4 weeks.
• ePassporte, the company providing this service, will send you an e-mail with additional information, including how to access the online banking system.
• If you have received your Visa Electron Card by postal mail, you will still need to activate the card as your payment option in the share-it! Control Panel. Your next payment can only be transferred to your Visa Electron Card once you completed this process.
  Your payment currency will change to USD once you start using your Visa Electron Card, unless your account with share-it! has already been administered in USD before.

No, you do not need a new bank account to use this card. However, your Visa Electron Card grants you automatic access to ePassporte's online banking system so you can send bank transfers to other Visa Electron Cards and obtain an overview of your transactions.

No. However, if you receive a payment of more than USD 5,000 (or the equivalent amount in another currency), or your balance is more than USD 5,000, ePassporte needs a copy of a government-issued ID (such as your passport). More information is available in the ePassporte Terms and Conditions you receive when requesting a Visa Electron Card.

Your payment from share-it! will be transferred to your Visa Electron Card in USD because you changed your payment currency to USD when you started using your Visa Electron Card with share-it! (if such a change to USD was required at that time).
If you use your Visa Electron Card to withdraw cash from an ATM, you will typically receive your money in the currency of the country in which the ATM machine is located. If the payment currency and national currency are different, the amount withdrawn from the ATM is converted at a very favorable exchange rate.

Yes, the card will work in almost every country in the world. Nearly a million ATM machines that display the Electron or the PLUS logo will accept the Visa Electron card for cash withdrawals.

Yes, when you open your Visa Electron card account, you will receive a Visa credit card number that you can use for all online purchases and at all stores displaying the Visa logo.

No, only one card can be issued per account.

Nothing. You can leave your money in your account indefinitely. Your account balance will be guaranteed until you decide to withdraw or spend these funds.

For security reasons, your Visa Electron Card will automatically expire on the date printed on the card. It will be valid for two years after the date the card is issued. Before your card expires, a new card will be sent to you with a new expiration date.

You will be provided with a special URL in the documentation you receive with your new Visa Electron card. Follow this link to ePassporte's online banking system; ePassporte is the vendor of this system. Once there, you can log in to view your transactions and statements, change your PIN, and view and edit other individual data.
