Skrill (formerly Moneybookers) is a digital wallet provider established in 2001 which offers a range of online payment and money transfer services.[3]
Since launch, Skrill has expanded to operate in more than 120 countries with the digital wallet offered in 40 different currencies.[4][5] Customers can upload money to their Skrill wallet using various payment options including by card, bank transfer, and a number of alternative payment methods. The funds can then be used to pay merchants, other Skrill users, or transferred into cryptocurrency.
Skrill also offers cross-border payments via its remittance service Skrill Money Transfer.[6] The service enables customers to send money to a bank account overseas using their bank card. In 2015, Skrill was acquired by the Paysafe Group [7][8] along with former competitor Neteller and prepaid payment provider paysafecard.
Skrill holds a number of licenses enabling it to offer its services in Europe and globally. Skrill is operated by Paysafe Payment Solutions Limited, a company incorporated in Ireland and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland,[9] for its European regulated activities. Skrill's activities outside of the European Economic Area are operated by Skrill Limited – a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
