Earlier today, XBIZ.com broke the news that Choice Bank (FirstChoice Pay) was suspending withdrawals from deposit accounts due to a sudden “liquidity-constrained position.” Paxum is experiencing a similar setback. Both companies are no longer operating their prepaid credit card service. Our finance department has confirmed with our FirstChoice Pay reps the validity of the news.
We know that many of you rely on this service for your payments. Crucially, we want you to know that the funds you have in your prepaid cards can still be withdrawn. However, no further payments can be loaded. We highly recommend that you withdraw your funds as soon as possible as it is unclear what will happen in the future or if cards will be blocked in the near future.
All MV Stars accounts with FirstChoice Pay payment option have been cleared. It is very important that MV Stars concerned with this situation choose a new payment method as soon as possible.
In order to receive payout for the 16th of this month, we are recommending that you switch your payment method to direct deposit, which is FREE in the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany and 33 other countries. Direct deposit takes 1-5 business days to process and has a minimum transaction amount of $100. For more details, please visit point 20 in our FAQ.
For MV Stars who can’t switch to direct deposit, we will safely bank your earnings until you choose your preferred payment method.
The MV Team is vigorously pursuing other prepaid card payment options. We wish to reassure all MV Stars that your earnings are safe and you will receive your funds for your hard work. We are dealing with this very surprising announcement and will make sure to assist anyone that has questions.
We will keep the MV Community updated as soon as we have more info. If you have any questions please email our support team at help@manyvids.com.
Always here to help!

Hey, so I didn't bit the minimum payout before the payout date and now my money's disappeared? Does it not carry on to the next payout date or do I simply not receive it because I didn't bit the minimum?
Check your payout status, if it says zero and you also don’t have a “next pay” $$ I’d contact MV support
Indian join manyvids?
how do you even withdrawal funds? i regret joining this site now cos all i've done is humiliate myself and now we can't get the money we worked hard for? ridiculous.
Meet the minimum payout and select a payout method ❤️
CCBill Payment Gateway
This is killing my mood, I submit for a paxum card for my others sites and still nothing, 2 weeks waiting for approval, and now mv have not answer for their foreign models, I will not do more customs til I get paid, no more new content and not more camming, I will use my time better to work on my art and get real cash while this sites softer their hearts and give us an answer. I can´t do a great job with my mind stressed.
same here is so stressfull i dont cam too my mind is so grrr after all. paxum is very bad option dont even try to put money even if they aprove you they just scaming taking money and dont give to transfer money on card or bank you can look rewiev on google is supper bad.
yes, I have seen a lot of that, sadly in my side of the world they are not offering more options
we all worked hard and were team as you always told, and now you just keep silience with no responce.. not good attitude to models! are you still on site at all? are you reading us? dont you realise what we need our money, or at least any answer?
MV what is going on? I need my money at the end of this current pay period. Please integrate a payment option (preferably epayments) and let me get my money out.
same
still no news from them, very disheartening
The silence is killing me.
-
mv wake up and choose - cosmo payment alternative for first cho...
No cosmo is bad not have all county but e payment have more options.
Can anyone relate to this? In my experience since the online payment companies went weird things have also been really slow! Almost no views on my videos & I compared from prior to the payment issue and it was fine before. Any time I have sent a message to CS no one responds. On other sites this experience is similar. Paxum I'm not sure I trust, I've been verified with them for years and they have "restricted" my account and I am not able to transfer my funds onto CC for me to use. I have emailed, phoned, sent messages for a week straight...not one response from Paxum. I'm on another clip site using my bank account for withdrawals and its been 8 days and still not paid. Interestingly out of curiosity I check Backpage for the hell of it and it's completely shut down....not saying it's related but kinda weird. So super slow, no payments, no cs responses from several sites and payment processors. What are your experiences ladies?
yeah, i am very worried about all this, I cant even take the wire transfer because my country is a shit hole and to receive money from this sites i have to do many stupid things and pay a lot fees, i am literally fucked up, is hard to keep your hope when the sites just keep in silence, I guess their prior is American ladies, but what about the whole world? we need answers!!
Still no news?😞
dear cs!
its about week since FC died, why you dont telling any news? how its all going? do you realise what many models staying without money and worry about it? WHY NO NEWS? do you want international models working with you at all? You should post news in blog daily to show ur care about us, not meaning i teach u how to work, but i think its simply good attitude! cs please understand what ANY news better than silience. thanks for understanding, i know you do ur best, just let us know more
you are right, im waiting too, and no any news that they will find any alternative.
same
hope they will resolve it soon
MV accepts payments in BTC and altcoins, can we get paid in cryptocurrencies, too?
ePayments, Paxum, WebMoney. these payment systems use the world's largest sites webcams chat rooms and sites for adults. (I speak international sites and not just the US) If you can add these 3 systems to us you will give all countries a chance to participate in your project. And for those who have more than one of the listed ways to give an alternative to selection and comfort.
Dependence on one payment system sooner or later leads to the consequences that we now feel !!! Please listen to us! Add as many alternative ways of payment as possible!
no news?
oh no. Ok, we can adapt.
I dont get why you cant offer Paxum. They're adult friendly and they are working with all the other adult sites I know. I have account with them and it still active, I can receive and transfer money there. Now all the international models who cant accept a direct deposit are being left in the dark. I have to pay my rent, feed my family, pay my bills. I dont know what I'm gonna do in the next few weeks, now I try to avoid posting new content on manyvids because I dont know if Im gonna get paid or not. It would be great if you add paxum, lots of models have paxum already.....
ePayments and Paxum
I have get 5k out of my Card and today i was again at the ATM and i cant get Money! FCP need get us an Update,u cant stole the Money from us! Seriously we all worked hard ,all here saved a bunch on there Card! It really Sucks too be unknown what is now! Manyvids u have too make EPayService or Epaymets,Webmoney or Paxum! Not sure About Paxum now,just heared that they make new Cards who work and then all is fine,but if its the Truth?!
I heart goes out to everyone affected by this, stay strong!
Dear administration. please write, how soon will you solve this question and will you decide it? The worst thing is being in the unknown.
MV please consider adding bitcoin as a payment option for international models.
My paxum account was closed for no reason even before i could get the option to use it.
I've received an email from paxum that theyre issuing new cards but funds can be withdrawn with lotw of other methods. Add paxum please mv! Not everyone can get direct deposit . Think of your latin american models! Paxum is working in all the other sites. Just a fyi
I love direct deposit anyway, it’s so convenient!
For people in the US...
Information from germany: card completely blocked. THANK YOU MV for your fast information - so I could save my money yesterday - today its too late!
FirstChoice Pay is blocking big accounts first. If you have a small balance on your card you should be able to withdraw so do it asap to be safe. All of their big customers' funds, have been frozen by their bank, Choice Bank Limited of Belize (please see http://www.xbiz.com/news/234907/choice-bank-suspends-withdrawals-from-deposit-accounts). In the meantime, I strongly advise you not to use Paxum or Epayments, as I have received word that they too are customers of Choice Bank, and may or will have had their funds frozen.
Paxum says that they switched from Choice, if you check out this tweet/twitter account you'll find more details about Paxum as an alternative https://twitter.com/PaxumChris/status/983749842957750275?s=19
why mv dont have paxum for choose problem is only with fch
PayPal - would be great!
PayPal is deeply anti-sex work.
Agreed. PayPal frequently freezes accounts associated with the adult industry. Even if its nude art or erotic stories!
PayPal is horrid.
I agree with what others responded, PayPal is extremely prejudice against the adult industry.
I'm blacklisted from PayPal. I can't even open a personal account or even fake account for that matter lolll one-day i opened PayPal and there was a big message at the top that read "you cannot use PayPal anymore" ahaha do NOT ever use them.
Maybe ePayments should work on MV? : )
ePayments would be SO good. Please, MV, it would be so great to support the international models with a pay system that really works for us.
Hi I have unfortunately been saving all my money on FCP card and now today I’m blocked and it’s locked, can’t use my card and I’m so scared I’m going to lose all my savings in this account? Please anyone in the same boat? I’ve trusted that card so much I use it as a back account and had no warning to pull it all out, anyone else ? Can they really take all my money?
Same has happened to me honey. It’s stating I have $0 😐
Hi Korina - Yesterday I was able to pull the small amount leftover on my account at FCP. I never used it as a Savings account and was always doing my timely withdrawals since these type of cards are bank clients and not "wallets" were you can keep your money safe. Any FirstChoice Bank (Belize) clients will have the same issue, that includes Paxum cards provided by this bank. They have the right to block funds TEMPORARY under certain demonstrated "liquidity" conditions. I have not heard of anyone getting a notification on their accounts directly from FCP about this being a PERMANENT situation, so there is 2-3 weeks of hope that they will allow you to withdraw your funds. Their bank is in Belize... so I am not sure about legal responsibility.
i feel sorry for those who rely on those services
It says my bank account isn't compatible with your system 😭😭 I never had this issue before with my routing and account numbers..
Email them xo
Yeah none of my bank details work either. I emailed them but haven't had a response. Two days to payout... ): ):
Paxum is a scam company that stole $1000 from me overtime by refusing to release it and charging me fees for everything request. I have extensive proof. I thought about driving to Canada numerous times to find their location to yell at them. I reported them to BBB.
You can get it direct deposited to a paypal account and get a prepaid paypal mastercard
PayPal is not sex worker friendly and if they find out you are one will lock down your account and seize your money.
Paxum is working on many sites right now. Why cant you pay me in paxum? I cant have my funds held, I have rent to pay and a family to feed. Actually i have less than $50 in cash and I was looking forward to receive this payout . Manyvids, dont leave us like this
They're literally shutting down. It isn't Manyvids' fault.
paxum isnt shutting down. Theyre still working and all the other sites are paying with paxum
Yes but the Paxum Card is no longer
Ladies, all my other sites are paying with paxum right now
what about ePayments.com? would work? but I have seen recently only receive in Euro, any model who use it in other sites?
wait is paxum on becouse they say many adults industry use paxum and they are fine with them so why paxum dosent work on manyvideos and on chaturbate work?
Awesome!
Thank you for update!
Also i checked out epayments.com and it seems good, its also being used by Skyprivate.
Be careful with epayments. They do NOT do US transactions. I had money in there from skyprivate and the only way I could get it out was through Bitcoin (yuk). So if you're US don't do epayments.
Oh, really? Thank you for the heads up.
why cant you pay using paxum?
chaturbate , cam4 , naked.com and other sites are telling us to switch to paxum to get paid.
ALL Russian gonna be okey with Paxum too! It’s only we have to wait until Paxum will remove old prepaid cards... but we still can transfer money from Paxum to our Visa/Mastercard
That'd be great! Im from South america and I'd love to get the money on my paxum account.
OMG! I also saw this news yesterday on @XBIZ twitter page. What becomes of African models like myself???
Is there anyway @Manyvids would consider adding Bitcoin payment option just like Skyprivate?
I was wondering this too, that could be a great option!!!
Huuuh, so the new are true, luckily I changed to direct deposit month ago, because FCP took pretty much half of my income.
Took half of your income??
There are many girls from Russia and some of them in top! How guys u gonna deal with that? We have no direct deposit ☺️
ePayments
Yes, I also going to switch to ePayments. And not olny here...
What happens for models who cant accept direct deposit? Im from argentina!! My only income is manyvids and i rely on this to pay my rent , bills, food, etc. What do I do now????????
Russian banks also do not work with the system " ABA"". then it remains only to wait for an acceptable alternative or to look for another site ((((
That fucking sucks . Manyvids is my only site I need to get paid!!!!
contacted online support Firstchoice. To the question - is this decision temporary or final? was given the answer that they stop their activities forever ((((
FCP have essentially finished, a model posted the conversation she had with one of their reps and they said the company is done. No more payments
I know that they are unlikely to listen to me, but why do not you add this system? - https://www.webmoney.ru/
Thanks, I chose the Check (Free Option) as im not sure how secure it is to give out bank account info here. I may change it later.
I have had direct deposit w/ MV for YEARS w/o issue.
Same ^^
Same^ no issues ever.
That good to know
That’s good to know
Could this be an option Manyvids? https://www.epayments.com/epayments_card.html
Oh Nice!
Thanks for clearing this up!
Thank you for explaining this I was super confused
Thank you MV for giving us solutions so quickly! Appreciate you wavering the fee and making direct payments FREE for us all😍every cloud has a silver lining💋
representative of FirstChoice Pay said so>>> https://www.ambercutie.com/forums/threads/what-is-going-on-with-first-choice.31226/
Thanks so much for this
It appears that us in the US dont need to be "freaking out" quite yet. Though I'll be going to the bank and getting my money tomorrow. It's just not worth possible losing it. I feel for the International models 
Thanks for the heads up!
i hope you all get paid!
thanks babe!
But yes thank you Manyvids for being onto this... And generally being really good to us ... Just gotta work out options now.
Thankfully I have direct deposit set up however I haven’t made any sales!! I sure could use some advice on how to get more activity on my page if anyone sees this lemme know! Thanks 🙏 😘
Hi this is diosaera the only things you can do is
1) put some free videos
2) Tweet all your videos or any social media
3) Participate un every single contest every Wednesday so that you can get paid votes then you share your link on social media and you must sale at least something and put love ❤️ on the profile so that people can know you
Wish you good luck !!!
Muito obrigado por me avisar. foi o único site que relatou o que estava acontecendo. Graças a Deus eu tirei todo o dinheiro disso.
outros site não relatarem com medo de nos parar de criar conteúdo e eles perder dinheiro.
Thanks for letting us know! I'll definitely be switching to direct deposit, honestly I should have done it a long time ago anyways haha.
Is Dwolla also going to be effected by this? Or is it just Paxum/First Choice Pay?
Sad... Any other latinamerican model who can help me with a new payment method please?
not many methode u can choice check or saving only
that is to open saving in your bank.
thank yo so much for this inf.. you are the best comapny in all the web!
Well that's a massive nail in my coffin. To expensive to be paid in my country and I probably won't meet the minimum pay out here.... Absolutely devastated
I'm having the same issue... With a minimum of $100, I might as well not even be here... I'm so upset.
same here minimum is $250 and when everyone take money to transfer honestly we got nothing
I kinda knew that firstchoice pay was unstable... No surprises there. But it's still a horrible situation for us in other countries. I hope you ladies work out something xxx
I'd be fine with that... Minus the $100 minimum for direct deposit. That's kind of ridiculous, especially for the girls who aren't in the top MV Girls...
I believe $100 is the minimum amount that MV can justify paying the banking fees for us models. If ManyVids didn’t pay the fees for us, we’d lose even more money.
They were an awful company anyways. Someone stole $3000 from my account, and they have made it extremely difficult to get it back. It's been three months without a refund now.
Thank you for letting everyone know. It's strange as they haven't put out an official warning themselves.
well this would explain why I didn't get paid today from chaturbate
chaturbate even didnt e-mail us that is there problem. MV did it here twitter e-mail everywhere.
It would be great if we could receive our money by Paypal.
No it wouldn't; PayPal would immediately freeze your funds for 180 days and ban your account as soon as it saw money coming from an adult website.
True!
Truth^ they held over 5k from me for almost 6 months
I receive thousands from another site and it is an adult site and as soonthe company pays me I receive the money and I have been a long time there so PayPal its a really safe place to get paid
Nope. PayPal will hold everything once they figure it out... And they will.
For what i have heard paxum will be working again in a few weeks but no certainty, it's awful... i can't payout on anywhere..
I've just withdrawn all I had left on my card, have no idea which payment method to choose now though.
I heard this one here on MV first! Well... many of my friends here using it. Now I am thinking about my payments options on the way to the ATM!
TODAY IS A BLACK DAY IN THE INDUSTRY OMG. What about Paxum?
Paxum also works with ChoiceBank so their prepaid cards are being "suspended until further notice"
Paxum also just collapsed, just read it on xbiz D:
According to a statement I saw from Paxum, they have to renew the cards, and that the new card will work
ePayments would be an option? but i have heard for now they only accept Euros
essa foi a única solução que o bongacam nos deixou! Espero que eles não aceitem apenas euros
Is there anyway in the future the minimum payout for direct deposit be a little lower than $100? Will that chenge in the future ? 😭
Yeah 100 dollars is a little steep. Especially when you're not a top mv star ranking in hundreds every day. Some of us have been depending on the 50 dollar payouts, so just because first choice isn't an option anymore, doesn't mean MV shouldn't step up to the plate a little. Come on. I mean jeeze streamate's min payout is 20 dollars for a check.
Yeah that’s true. Lol it’s been such a pain for me I was just about to sign up on first choice then this happens. Mfc min payout is $20 which is great through direct deposit. I was gonna sign up on streammate is pretty cool with that I am still debating camming there too. I just have to really market my mv like crazy lol 😂
I’ve never even heard of this. It’s a pre paid card?
Thank you for the speedy response and payment update.
Thank you for the important information honestly it's first time i hear about the problem!!! I didn't knew anything 😟😓
Oh god I want to cry, I can't do it by check and the fees for direct deposit to my country are so expensive for me... plus, I don't even know how to set up that option anyway lol I hope you find a replacement for that option soon, please. I'll have to wait until you do it anyway to get paid. That can be good, you are gonna help me to control my expenses hahahahaha Thanks for telling us this.
Thank you
An that's so bad.
I use my first choice for other sites too
Such as I(((
So happy you've informed us! Thank you!
Just took out the rest of my money, and what I couldn't I added to my Amazon acc. Changing the rest of my payment methods today for all sites. So disappointing I've used this for 6 years and it's always been so reliable. Womp womp.
Same I've used them for so many years, this really sucks
I've always gotten my checks reliably from MV. I know it's not an ideal option but for people out of the country it may be the better option. Check with your bank to see how much in US funds they can cash/make available at the time. Good luck, I'll be tweeting info as I find it for those keeping an eye on all the industry changes. @MissPiperKush
Crazy how SESTA FOSTA is affecting people and businesses. Thank you ManyVids.
Paxum please.............
They are both affected...
Thank you for the clarity
x
I needed this information yesterday night when everyone was in Panic, me included
Thank you for update!
Time to share the news with everyone!
Good thing direct deposit is so easy to use
Yikes, this is super good to know, and thank you to MV for always being on top of stuff like this and reporting it quickly 🙏💕 I was just about to start using first choice on a new cam site too 😪 my heart goes out to people who are directly affected by this!
Thank you for the statement! Just an FYI a model on twitter stated that her funds were not safe and they were locked and she had no access to them unless her cam site requested them back. Though some models have been able to withdraw from their accounts it looks that it would be best to withdraw anything in FCP accounts ASAP
Thank you very much for a fast update, me and, I am sure alot of MV models were so stressed today, this is very good to know, I believe in you guys!
MV is always on top of everything and the first to inform us! Thanks MV! Glad to know about this
