Introduction
Skrill is a global online payment service that allows consumers to make and receive payments from their bank accounts. It's available in over 200 countries, so you can use it anywhere in the world.
Sign up
The first step to opening a Skrill account is to sign up for one at www.skrill.com/signup, which is free of charge and accessible on any device: mobile phone, computer or tablet. You can also open your own Skrill account with an email address or Facebook profile (if you have one).
Verify your account.
You can verify your account using any of the following methods:
By email address. Enter your email address on the Skrill website and click "Verify."
By ID card or passport. If you have an ID card or passport, choose "I have an international driving license" in the drop-down menu below "Verify by country of residence." Then type in your name as it appears on that document and click Next.
Top up your account.
Now that you have an account, it's time to start making/sending money.
There are three ways to top up your Skrill account: credit or debit card, bank transfer and prepaid card.
Link a credit or debit card
To link a credit or debit card to start spending online, make sure that you have a Skrill account. Once it's set up, click on the "Payments" tab in your settings and follow these steps:
Go to My Account > Payments > Add Payment Method.
Select how you want to fund this payment method—credit card or bank account (for which we'll need your routing number). You can also choose whether or not you want to use Skrill’s 2-factor authentication (2FA).
Opening a Skrill account is free, quick and easy.
You can open a Skrill account in just a few minutes. All you need to do is provide your email address and click on the button that says "I accept." That's it!
Once you've opened an account with Skrill, you can use it to make payments on eBay, Amazon and other sites where they accept PayPal payments.
Conclusion
Skrill is a secure, easy-to-use way to get started with online shopping. You can use it with any major retailer or service provider; from Amazon and eBay to Etsy and Uber. And because it's a payment method that works across borders, there's no need for complicated banking information or having your bank account shut down if you move abroad.
