Fees on Visa Debit Card anyone?
Is anyone getting charged 1% extra for using their Debit cards to make deposits? Here is my situation. On April 1st, I deposited $200 on Ultimate Bet and got charged $202 when it cleared my bank account. I thought this was odd because I had used this card 2 weeks earlier on UB to deposit $400 and only got charged the $400. I called UB and they reassured me that they do not charge extra for use of these cards. I felt like maybe it was an just fluke and went about my business. Well on April 9th, I deposited $500 on Empire using the same card and noticed today that $505 was taken out of my account for this transaction. The next day, the 10th, I used this card to start my Neteller account for $650 which Neteller charged me another $25.35 in fees for a grand total of $675.35. Well you guessed it, $682.10 was taken from my account for this transaction.
I called my bank about this today and they said they never charge for use of the Visa debit card and if they had a charge it would show up as a fee instead of being added on the withdrawal amount which makes sense. But someone is taking an extra 1% from these transaction as of April 1st. Before that I had no problem. I'm leaning towards thinking it has to be my bank just because this was 3 different sites that this happened on. I haven't contacted Neteller or Empire yet to see if they are doing this but I'm sure I will get the standard response of that's not out policy. Anyone else get charged these fees?
