Skrill Business - Anyone?

[moneyhoney]

Hi all,

Anyone had successfully open a Skrill Business account? I've tried but they say my business model isn't in their interest. Don't know what kind of business they are looking for actually.


Thanks.

They mostly work with gambling. They want to break into general ecommerce but haven't had any significant success despite years and years of trying.

You might see them sometimes in connection with FX brokers and webhosting businesses.

The onboarding for Skrill/Neteller is awful. They're quite cheap mind you, and good enough reputation...About 2 months ago their sites where down and it took them several weeks to fix, then another month to come back to me...each time I tried going through the onboarding process something didn't work...minor things such as inability to fill in DoB so couldn't move forward, or next button wasn't working.

That's why I wanted to use them, cause some affiliations are hard to deal with wire transfers and they do prefer Neteller / Skrill. Maybe I wasn't lucky with the one replied to me, now I've tried to write them again mentioning the gambling. Let's see.

Yeah I agree. I've just tried to make this again: Skrill | Sign up for a business account - after putting the email, I've got an email and the link send again to the same page.

Email them direct at [email protected] and ask for manual onboarding documents.

Yeah, I've tried this way. Let's see if the gambling affiliation is welcome cause you never know with them.

Let me see if I have another direct contact for them, I think I do somewhere.


They're normally fine with gambling.

I agree business on-boarding is horrible. If you have trading with offshore holding with nominees and trustee it gets to te point of nightmare. Word of advice: make both Skrill / Neteller busines applications at the same time as it is the same compliance team and the onboarding applications are almost the same.

I don't know if they are that cheap. They used to be cheap in the past but since they were taken over by Neteller, the fees skyrocketed. E.g. it cost €0.50 cents before to send money to employess, nowadays it's 1% unlimited!

My employees like to be paid via this method as they can spend money using debit card directly. With EMIs like Paysera or Revolut, I can pay directly via bank transfer, but with Skrill or Neteller a business account is required.

However one of their latest launch of currency exchange at mid market rates in partnership with XE is pretty good. You can load up via credit or debit card up to EUR 15,000 daily (free of charge) up to maximum EUR 30,000 monthly.
