Credit Card alternative

[Xaris]

Is it possible for you to set up an online bank account so that customers can use internet banking to transfer the money? This would enable me (and im sure a few others) to buy the game who dont have access to a credit card.

I agree i need this game it's the best i have played in a while

 

[Jugi]

Yes I agree also. I got hooked right away with this game and I would like to buy the licence but I don't have a credit card. So please, administration, reply fast to this topic I need to know if it's possible to transfer the money via bank account or something.

I am afraid we can not accept bank transfers. International bank transfers are too expensive anyway, the comission is typically more than $40.

Ouch.. I just opened a similar thread... dummy me...
what about other ways of transferring money, e.g. mail or wire - i know that's not really the elegant and easy to control way, but if you would do it on special request you could simply charge an extra fee for that (which at least I would gladly pay)

 

[Jugi]

Sounds fair to me too. I really really would like to play this game further but I just simply don't have any access to any kind of credit card. Of course it would take couple of days for the mail to be delivered but I could live with that. What do you think?

 

[Berny]

Isnt paypal the same thing you guys are talking about?

 

[Jugi]

No, we're not talking about an email. We're talking about an actual mail delivery. If that's not possible either, then I'm running out of options.

Exactly. Well, to clear this up - "wire" was referring to Western Union/this: http://www.westernunion.com/info/faqMT.asp

Hmm. But that service requires using a Debit or credit card. If you'll purchase using a debit or credit card you can as well use our web-store...

2. What do I need to send money from an Agent location?

Sending money with the Western Union Money Transfer service from an Agent location does not require credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts, memberships or citizenship papers. Customers receiving money only need a valid form of identification or, in some cases, the answer to a test question provided by the sender. And, depending on the amount of the transfer, senders may need to furnish identification or other information to meet U.S. government requirements.

Hm.. not really

 

[armagan]

I guess you are right. But I'll need to check out their comission rates first. I don't think that's a cheap service.

 

[monsterfurby]

Well, since they exist since approximately 60 years in that form, I do not think that they would be that expensive, and even if they are: it's up to the person sending the money to pay possible fees, not the recipient. Well, I think that it would be great if you could accept a transfer that way as it would open up the way for more international players without credit card to buy the game.

Yay! I didn't know until today that I can register my Visa Electron to web payment and that way I was able to pay for my serial key.

 

[Ordie]

Wow! You can do that?? How? I had to use someone else's credit card to buy the game! I didnt know my Visa Electron would work!

 

[Jugi]

Well, first I had to visit my bank personally (Nordea, in Finland) where I received password for my internet bank account. I logged in my account and activated the web payment at Nordea's website. It's was very simple and I suggest everybody who owns Visa Electron to contact their bank and ask about the web payment.
