EFRI Sends Open Letter To ING CEO And Dutch Regulator Over Payvision Procedure!

Money Laundering Ben - July 1, 2022

Founded by Rudolf Booker in Amsterdam some 20 years ago, Payvision was acquired by ING in 2018 at a valuation of €360 million. ING then discovered that Payvision was a high-risk payment processor that primarily served ethically unacceptable industries such as porn or gambling. In addition, Payvision was a facilitator and money launderer for broker scams. In 2020, ING sold the unethical business back to the Payvision founders for a symbolic euro. In 2021, ING announced that it had decided to close Payvision after an extensive review. Currently, this closure is being processed but Payvision victims are not compensated.
