    Yesterday I registered and topped-up card to do some Currys.co.uk shopping (with Parcel Motel). It is still not working today and I wonder what time money need to go to entropay account? Or Enropay is just blocked on currys.co.uk?? Any opinion?

    Is the money showing on the card when you log in? I haven't used it in years, but I did encounter places that accepted visa but would not accept entropay. By any chance, does currys.co.uk refuse it because they see an Irish address attached to entropay or is that set as PM too?

    Maybe try to register with UK address and select to create a GBP virtual card if you haven't done that already.

    I was going to just that but I'm thinking that the source of funds card might have to be registered to a UK address too. I'll just give it a bash and see what happens !

    I remember reading somewhere what EntroPay does is basically provide Visa cards issued by the Maltese Bank of Valleta

    So Currys probably sees the card as being from Malta and not the UK

    I also would love to know of a virtual card that could be used on UK site that only accept UK issued cards. If anyone knows how that could be done it would be great.

    Not sure if it's still possible, but this could be done with the anpost fx card if you register it with parcel motel (you can probably use any UK address). I've never needed to try, I've been lucky enough to have paypal option anytime its come up:

    Once you have the £ card you need to register online (explained in the documentation of the card) and than in the online interface you can define a temporary address, enter the parcel motel address and voila your card has now a NI billing address.

    This does not change the real address linked to the card, so on next load in the post office you won't have problems or need to provide proof. It's a temporary address (well as long as you define it) and it changes the billing address but not the registered address for AnPost purposes or money laundering purposes.

    Hope that helps.
