Is MySteemX a licensed Money Transmitter ?

MySteemX doesn't accept deposit nor hold USD, GBP or Any other Legal tender.

What and who is a money transmitter?

Also referred to as money remitters or money transfer services, money transmitters transfer funds or provide payment services. Most states define anyone who receives money to transmit money to another location by any means, including wire, facsimile, electronic transfer or payment instrument, as a money transmitter.

Money transmitters are one of several disciplines within money services businesses (MSB), which describes businesses that convert or wire money. Although the majority of money services business disciplines require a minimum threshold to be considered an MSB, a threshold does not exist for money transmitters. Therefore, any business that transfers funds or provides payment services is considered a money transmitter regardless of business activity.
Some examples of money transmitters include Barclays, PayPal, Western Union and MoneyCorp.

Monetary or Payment instruments

  • Currency;

  • Traveler's checks in any form;

  • All negotiable instruments (including personal checks, business checks, official bank checks, cashier's checks, third-party checks, promissory notes (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code), and money orders) that are either in bearer form, endorsed without restriction, made out to a fictitious payee (for the purposes of § 1010.340), or otherwise in such form that title thereto passes upon delivery;

  • Incomplete instruments (including personal checks, business checks, official bank checks, cashier's checks, third-party checks, promissory notes (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code), and money orders) signed but with the payee's name omitted; and

  • Securities or stock in bearer form or otherwise in such form that title thereto passes upon delivery.

Currency.

The coin and paper money of the United States or of any other country that is designated as legal tender and that circulates and is customarily used and accepted as a medium of exchange in the country of issuance. Currency includes U.S. silver certificates, U.S. notes and Federal Reserve notes. Currency also includes official foreign bank notes that are customarily used and accepted as a medium of exchange in a foreign country.

Furthermore, according to "The Final Rule" amended the definition of "money services business" at 31 CFR 1010.100(ff). MySteemX cannot be classified as an MSB (Money service business).

IMPORTANT NOTE

One more important thing is that we have had feedback from the community on how we deal with PayPal due to the fact that the financial instrument we exchange for users are cryptocurrencies and PayPal hasn't been really friendly with cryptocurrencies lately. So we see it as an important thing to let the community know that our transactions with PayPal isn't on the cryptocurrency basis. The only party we trade cryptocurrency with are our local exchanges and once that is done. We have the fiat equivalent of user's STEEM/SBD and that's what goes through PayPal.

We want to use this opportunity to thank everyone that have traded with MySteemX global, SteemX Nigeria and SteemX Ghana, the witnesses that have supported us and the entire Steemit community that have trusted us for the past 8 months. We appreciate you in a special way.

Together we will bring the global adoption of Steem to reality.

Great work guys! I think this will be a great addition to our ecosystem.

Wow! this is a great deal towards global adoption of #steem. Keep on the good work @steemexchanger

Interesting, fees seem insane though. 87 cents for an SBD? I heard paypal charges a withdrawal fee as well.

MySteemX charges 1.8% service charge, any other charge incurred will be from third-party gateways that makes withdrawal possible in record time. you can refer to the Fees Policy
page on mysteemx.com for more information on our charges.

Why is the exchange rate incorrect?

Could you withdraw my 1SBD from my account back to steem?

This is remarkable and making a whole lot of sense

Can I withdraw my 1 SBD back to my steem wallet?

Yes, you can choose to send your SBD or STEEM to your wallet. The transfer feature will be live soon on the website. But at this moment you can tender such request to support@mysteemx.com

I didn't receive my money to paypal for 15 -16 hours and I didn't get notified about the problem How long will it take ?
