EntroPay was founded in 2003, and they are a big part of the eWallet market ever since.

EntroPay always wanted to offer a secure and convenient solution for digital payments and therefore created their virtual Visa cards that can be used almost all over the globe where Visa cards are accepted. Their goal was to create a payment option, especially for those customers who cannot do this transaction online with any other way.

However, customers who can join us an ecoPayz account should use one of that eWallet as they are much easier to handle and have overall better conditions. Please contact us for any questions about our eWallet program, so that we can help you find the best solution for you.

If you are not able to use ecoPayz due to country restrictions, Entropay might be an option for you, and we have summarized some more details and facts about their product.

We want to show you how to set up your account, how to credit your cards with funds and show you the most important details about the limits and fees.

Creating your first virtual EntroPay Visa card is quite easy. You just need to fill-out the registration form and your card will instantly be ready.

Just add some personal details like your full name, your country of residence, your password, and your day of birth. A current address is not needed as EntroPay does not send you a card to your home address; you will have your virtual credit cards.

Once you hit the “Get Your Card!” button at the registration form, your card will be created and you will be forwarded to the next step where you can upload funds to your card.

You can easily upload funds to your EntroPay account by using a bank or wire transfer. The fee for this transfer is 1.95% and usually the amount will be credited within 2-5 business days (depending on your bank). However, bank transfers in EU are usually much faster as they are considered as local bank transfers.

Once you choose the bank transfer option from the menu, you need to fill out some details about your bank account, like the location of your bank and the currency. After that, you will receive all information to initiate the bank transfer from your end. Please note that EntroPay does not have access to your bank account, and no funds will be credited to your virtual card until you instruct your bank to initiate the bank transfer.

Please also make sure to use the correct currency to avoid any currency exchange fees.

The second option you can use to upload funds to your virtual EntroPay card is using another credit card. The major benefit of this option is that your funds will be available instantly, so you do not have to wait before you can start spending them with your EntroPay card. The fee for this option is 4.95%, and the maximum amount you can upload is 250 EUR.

Just enter your Name, the credit card number and choose your preferred amount. You can use a Visa card, a MasterCard or Maestro card to up transfer money to your account.
