What is Skrill?
Skrill is one of the most popular and well-known digital (online) wallets, with tens of millions of users worldwide. Skrill allows you to make secure, low-cost online payments, transfer money to other people, or store your money online. You can also apply for a contactless embossed Mastercard or Visa debit card for your Skrill account after registering. For just 10 euros. However, this is not a necessary condition to move your money.
You can use your Skrill debit card to make online and traditional payments and withdraw cash from ATMs. It replaces the traditional debit card. All you need to create a Skrill account is an email address.
You can top up your Skrill wallet balance with a simple bank transfer, but it is important to note that you can also hold your account in several different currencies. This will save you a lot of conversion costs in the long run.
Most bookmakers and websites will ask for your personal details when you make a purchase. Which you may be reluctant to share with third parties for understandable reasons.
This is where your Skrill wallet comes in. You need to verify your identity with Skrill once if you want to use your online wallet. After that, both parties will share the details for most transactions, saving you a lot of time and headaches.
How to Verify Your Skrill Account Step by Step
To increase your withdrawal and deposit limits or apply for a physical debit card. Not to mention increasing your security level, you should verify your Skrill account!
You can choose the verification method yourself! The fastest way to verify your account is through the app, as you can take a photo within the app, which will be uploaded to your account instantly. You can also opt for a more traditional solution, in which case you will need to upload a high-quality scanned image of both sides of your ID card or driver’s license to your account.
Then you just need to prove your address, for which you need a paper document no more than three months old showing your name and address (e.g., bank statement, utility bill).
Skrill will notify you by email if the identification process has been completed successfully. It is important to note that you can use your Skrill wallet for withdrawals and deposits without the confirmation email, but we strongly recommend that you verify yourself, as this will make your wallet more secure and you will also get more privileges, for example, you will be entitled to higher deposit limits!
