Thanks - that will help clarify for the ladies in (and out of) AWFP DP group.

Paxum is out now too, unless you want to pay the $50 fee for a funds transfer. Payoneer you can ONLY get paid using the card, which also has fees attached to every transaction.

There's no guarantee that this week's (or next week's) payments will be processed by AW: "All payments are currently on hold and we are trialling integration with a new provider. It is our intention to be able to pay the transfers due today (Tuesday 27th) this week, although this new provider will require additional anti-money laundering and know your customer documentation."

And here's what you have to do to speed up the trialling process so you can get paid:

    All payments are currently on hold and we are trialling integration with a new provider.  It is our intention to be able to pay the transfers due today (Tuesday 27th) this week, although this new provider will require additional anti-money laundering and know your customer documentation.

    Until we know exactly what that is we would advise all members with pending UK bank transfers to do the following:

        Perform the Age Verification process here.  This uses a third party system to verify that you are in the UK and over 18.
         
        Prepare a scan of a cheque or bank statement for the bank account you have asked your funds to be paid in to.  Your name, the sort code and account number should be clearly visible, but any other information can be masked or obscured.  Once we know if this is definitely required, we will provide an upload page for it.
         
        If you have not done so already, complete the process for VAT identification, here.  (Group Managers please login and access via the EU Consumer Tab of your Group Settings page.)
         
        Whether you are VAT registered or not, if you can prove you are using AdultWork.com for business purposes we do not have to charge you VAT on the admin fee and many of the display items (e.g. Phone Number Display and Featured Profiles).

    If we can get the above information from you it may expedite the speed at which we can pay you, by providing this verification information to the new UK bank payment processor.

F..... them

I'm not giving them such personal information when I don't even know who the hell they are at the end of the day ?  Do any of us really know who aw is ?  Where are they based?  Any decent reputable organisation has a telephone number you can call for customer service help but aw doesn't and in my opinion that is fishy and dodgy and I'm pretty much done with them now. 

Whilst I appreciate they need to protect themselves in light of money laundering etc etc, they're extremely secretive and I've always felt the lack of contact telephone numbers and lack of a proper UK based contact office is in itself something we should all be cautious of. 

My phone chat and direct cam days are over but it's not my main source of income so I'm not unduly worried but feel for those of you for whom it is.  I'll just do the bare minimum needed to keep my phone number displayed. 

Best of luck
