I love the new security feature on FanBox. I just got done verifying my account and I am now at 100%.

I have had questions from members and I am getting the same two questions so much, I thought I'd put it out here in a blog post.
Here you go:

Question 1 - Facebook and FanBox


"I don't want everything I do on FanBox showing up on my FaceBook account."
Okay, fair enough. When you link your Facebook account to FanBox, you have the power to control who sees what.
On the lower left, you will have a choice of who can see the activity on  your Facebook page and if you want to make it so people only see certain activity on your FanBox account on Facebook, then choose "Only Me" and you can pick and choose what you posts or activity you want to let your friends and family see on Facebook and you're done!

Question 2 - No Credit Cards Allowed in Pakistan


"I live in Pakistan  and you can't get a credit card in Pakistan."

A good choice for pakistan, what about Nepal?

Hi Surya,
The only place I found that looked legit was this : http://www.standardchartered.com/np/personal-banking/cards/usd-credit-card/en/

I just viewed that, but it is really very expensive and out of reach to normal nepalese citizen. We have to deposit USD 3000 for 6 months, that is really impossible not only for me but also to the whole people here in fanbox. Please let me know if there is any other solution....

Since I don't know your personal situation, and I am not in Nepal, the best thing you can do is hit Google and look credit alternatives for your neck of the woods. Secured cards are available through most banking institutions and many allow smaller deposits, I just don't know what is available in Nepal.

What FanBox has done for us is great, I´m sure that our accounts will be safe now, any questions, concerns we have a lots of people can help us. Regarding Pakistan Credit Cards...only if they don´t want won´t find a solution.

: most of the credit card companies here in the phiLippines does not approve credit card appLication from empLoyees with Low saLaries and unempLoyed.. it is aLso not commonLy used in provinces..

10 months ago

Well ultimately it's a smart business decision to not allow people to establish debt they can't pay back. There are secured credit cards available in the Philippines where whatever you deposit is what you're allowed to spend. The interest rates are higher usually but it's one way to establish credit.

: as far as i know.. FiLiPiNOS wiLL never get a CREDiT CARD just for this,
assuming they don't know yet what's waiting for them in FanBox..
and i'm sure.. even those who aLready have credit cards
wiLL NOT be wiLLing to enter their credit card information..
i think this wiLL be a BiG reason NOT to continue with the sign-up..

but yes.. we can try and see what wiLL be the effect..

I agree with Sweet Chriz. Some of the Filipinos are very doubtful. If they see that they need to enter their credit card info, they will not continue with the sign up as said by Chriz above.

There's a choice right? Why not use Paypal account?

10 months ago

paypal still requires a verified account with a credit card and/or bank account once you do a certain amount of transactions. Amazon too. If you've made purchases at Amazon - you can link up your Amazon account. But regardless you'll have to have some kind of verifying factor with any of those sources.

1)This is nice way to connect fan box with Facebook at the same time keeping your control.
2)To safeguard the account holder some banks provide virtual cards instead of direct use of credit card. You may check it.

Actually the problem for Pakistanis regarding credit card is that many users are mostly common people students and home based workers and they do not need bank account to maintain or credit cards, and if I have an opportunity to avail the card I might not be used to any sites due to fear of theft,as fanbox remain always under attacks how we can use credit cards and low income coming out for last 6 months who will take the risk . so credit card option may be withdrawn.

10 months ago

The next logical step for FanBox must be allowing to cash out directly to credit card without this headache with bank checks and to hire somebody to answer client's questions in live call center as most of other respectable companies do.

10 months ago

Most of those cash transfer cards that companies set up have limits in the vicinity of $2500. Success Coaches are the somebodies that answer client's questions on FanBox. Which is actually much cooler than a nameless, faceless person in a call center, since your clients get to work one on one with you.

in pakistan these banks give cc but not to students and labors but to some people who are rich or getting high pays and also we cant buy something on internet they have some approved websites ... same things for visa card .. but ii have visa card ill try it ... if its not working then no one from pakistan can fill this cc form .. and i am 100 % sure ...

Jo you are a great asset to this community for all you do and this blog sharing your knowledge and research on different banks ans ways to secure your account here! Hats off to you girl! Great blog! Blessings friend!

10 months ago

Jo, I am sure you understand what I mean speaking about cashout call center. I am a SC too and I have no information about these kind of questions. And my own questions about my check were left without proper answers. We all have deal with money.
Must be somebody who has all info about cashing out in one hands and ready to give a prompt answer to any client directly.
SCs can only teach, consult and approve ads, what else? I am not connected with cash out center and I suppose the information must be privat , closed and protected. I see, FanBox is moving in the right direction and I believe someday everything will be ok, It is a question of time! Thank you , Jo!

Jo some countries still cannot complete account verification due to the sms features not available in those countries.How are they going complete their account verification without sms verification?

10 months ago

Hi Salsa!

Are they getting a message their accounts cannot be verified due to SMS non-availability or are they simply getting a fail when they try to verify?
Last I heard, the security flow was still rolling out and all features may not be 100% functional until Monday/Tuesday.

I just paid via ACB in Vietnam.
More remarkable is that I can not have a paypal account, because that I always receive an error message when logging in paypal.
So, how can I complete your profile is 100%???
If I only reached 70%, it can mean that my account is not clean, right, JO.???
