Mastercard and Visa Start Banning VPN Providers
http://j.mp/15gT846 (Torrent Freak)
It now turns out that these policies have carried over to VPN
providers and other anonymizing services. Before the weekend customers
of the popular Swedish payment service provider Payson received an
email stating that VPN services are no longer allowed to accept Visa
and Mastercard payments due to a recent policy change. "Payson has
restrictions against anonymization (including VPN services). As a
result Payson can unfortunately no longer give your customers the
option to finance payments via their cards (VISA or MasterCard)," the
email states, adding that they still accept bank transfers as
deposits.
