EPassporte Joins ASACP as Corporate Sponsor

LOS ANGELES — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection has announced ePassporte as its newest corporate sponsor.

And in welcoming ePassporte aboard as a new sponsor, ASACP is also welcoming back an old friend: Chris Mallick, former owner of Paycom and an original founding sponsor of ASACP.

Founded in 1996, ASACP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating child pornography from the Internet.

As founder and CEO of ePassporte.com, the site is Mallick’s latest venture, though he said that he has not lost any of his enthusiasm for ASACP’s mission, adding that ePassporte’s management is deeply dedicated to protecting children.

“ASACP provides the industry with valuable information and acts as a liaison between the industry and law enforcement to assist in better compliance with laws and the protection of children,” Mallick said. “EPassporte is the preferred currency of the online adult industry, paying thousands of affiliates, webmasters and vendors. Combining ePassporte’s standing in the industry with ASACP’s leadership in child protection is a great way to raise awareness within the industry.”

EPassporte sells Visa cards for use online, at POS merchants and ATMs. The company also offers online, real-time money transfer services and a payment system that protects users’ identities and cash while giving them Visa's worldwide recognition and acceptance.

“When ASACP really began expanding its outreach and operations a few years ago, Chris was one of first people to step up to the plate,” ASACP Director Joan Irvine said. “He’s always been available when I’ve needed him, and his input on issues relating to the online adult industry, child protection and ASACP has been invaluable. We couldn’t ask for a more committed friend.”
