What is Skrill e-wallet?
Skrill is an e-wallet offering money transfer services and online payments developed by Paysafe Group based in London, England. Paysafe is also the owner of Neteller – the brother of Skrill.
Unlike Neteller, Skrill has the fastest registration procedure available today. Just need an email address and you can sign up for one. Skrill’s account verification method is also very simple and convenient.

The process to verify Skrill account
To verify Skrill account, there are 4 steps you need to take:

Select information about Country and Currency
(1) Select Your Country.
(2) Select Your Currency.
Then click Next.

At this point, you make the request to recharge from the bank you register the card such as enter the OTP code sent to the phone message or token card.
Once completed, Skrill will show a confirmation that you have deposited. Within 20 minutes, the money will be transferred to your account.
How to verify Skrill account
You don’t need to wait for the money to enter the account to start the verification. Because now Skrill’s already opened the Verification feature for your account.
Step 1: Select Settings on the left. Click on Verification. Click Verify Now.
Step 2: Skrill will ask if you want to link to your Facebook account. If you agree, choose Verify with Facebook. If not, you choose No thanks. Here, I choose No thanks.
Step 3: Go to the Verify ID part. Select Upload Photos to upload Passport/ID card/Driver’s license.
Step 4: Select the type of id you want to verify
(1) Passport.
(2) Identity card.
(3) Driver’s license.
How to verify your identity to Skrill
Step 5: Choose Take Photo to capture the image with your laptop/computer webcam. Or select Upload file to upload ID images from the computer.
Step 6: Take/Upload the front image of your ID. Click Capture Image to take a picture. The image should be clear enough to read the information on the ID card. Then click Continue to do the same with the back.
Note: If uploading images, this must be a color photo (not a photocopy or black and white image) and saved in JPG or PNG format.
Step 7: Take/Upload the selfie image with the paper that writes SKRILL + month/day/year of today. Your face needs to be seen clearly in the photo. After completing, press Confirm.
Example: SKRILL 03.04.2018 or SKRILL 07/14/2019
Once completed, the system will show you the confirmation of your documents submitted.
How to verify location
The final step is to verify the address. There are 2 ways:
(1) Geolocation: Turn on the location of the browser so that Skrill automatically locates you on Google Map. It’s very quick. But you must be using the computer/laptop near the address where you registered your account.
(2) Upload Address Document: You take photos of any documents with your full name and address that were registered for the account within the past 90 days. Examples are utility bills, bank statements, etc.
Because the second way is quite troublesome if you are not the landlord, you should use the 1st way. Click on the Geolocation. The browser will automatically display a notification in the upper left corner. Choose Allow to complete.
But if the browser does not automatically show this notification, follow these steps:
(1): Click on the Lock in the upper left corner of the browser.
(2): Click on the Block.
(3): Select Allow.
(4): At this time the browser will display a message asking Reload to adjust to take effect. Click Reload.
(5): Select the Geolocation again. The system will automatically verify your address.
In case the 1st way cannot be done, you need to find documents with your name and address you registered. How to take and upload the image is similar to when you take and upload ID card/Driver’s license.
Once completed, Skrill will review your account within a few days to verify. If successful, Skrill will send a notification to your email.
Thank you for reading the article How to use Skrill from A to Z. Hope you can create a Skrill account and verify it successfully. Good luck!
