ECommPay is a high-risk payment processor focused on the gaming and forex industries. The Russian Alexander Spiridonov and his Latvian comrade Aleksejs Sjarki control the ECommPay group via legal entities in Cyprus, the UK, Latvia, and the Cayman Islands. In Russia, the company is represented by KPR LLC. ECommBX, regulated by the Central Bank of Cyprus as an EMI, and the FCA-authorized payment institution ECommPay Limited are part of the ECommPay group. Some of their websites vanished since our last report. Here is an update.

Some troubles
The ECommPay group is likely to have some technical problems. The ECommBX website (www.ecommbanx.com) shows an SSL certificate error and is hardly reachable. The websites of AccentPay (https://accentpay.com) and Paymantix (www.paymentix.com) vanished.
What we know!
Whistleblower information shows that ECommBX, regulated by the Central Bank of Cyprus as an e-Money Institute (EMI), is part of the ECommPay group of companies.
ECommPay Holding Ltd in Cyprus is the controlling shareholder of ECommPay Limited, an authorized payment institution regulated by the UK FCA with the reference number 607597. According to the Companies House, the controlling person is the Latvian Aleksejs Sjarki (pictured left), who also acts as a director in these companies.
ECommPay has both a branch in Cyprus and the separate legal entity ECommPay Ltd. All companies in Cyprus are located in Alpha Business Centre and share offices and staff there. ECommBX operates its platform ECommBanx (www.ecommbx.com), which does not inform that it is part of the ECommPay group.
We learned that the high-risk processor ECommPay is a global network of companies and roots in Russia. The CEO of ECommPay in Moscow is Xenia Viktorovna Kuryshkina, who is also active in other group companies.

Russian entities of the group include, for example, LLC KPR or LLC EKP IT. The registrant of the domain www.ecommpay.com is the Russian Artem Laskov.
Paymantix (www.paymantix.com) is another payment processor in the ECommPay group that vanished some time ago. Its CEO used to be Xenia Viktorovna Kuryshkina.
The ECcommPay group also includes Accentpay Limited, registered in Hong Kong, which has appeared as a payment processor in Forex broker schemes such as Forex Optimum and the online gaming area. The website went offline some time ago.
