Skrill is my preferred way of doing money transactions abroad typically when I need a safe secured and efficient way of sending money overseas and the amount is low. Most other portals tend to charge a transfer fee for lower amounts but Skrill does not charge a transaction fee when I use the ACH Transfer even for lower amounts. For personal use, I have used the debit card to fuel transactions and it allows you the same facility as the debit card. If I need to complete the transaction within a day and want the money to be available in the receiving account overseas the same day, I prefer another portal that has the option of express service that Skrill does not offer.

It is good when you need a temporary (or permanent) solution to get funds to your bank account for something as small as a one time event, recurring or larger. It has reputable companies that use it and seems to integrate easily with most systems and accounts. You will have to go through a whole setup, with your bank accounts, etc.

  • Admin reporting could be improved
  • Fees are pulled out of each transaction instead of aggregated at the end of the month (this could be a pro for some users)
  • Difficult to give switch the admin role after it has already been assigned
  • No credit card swipers
  • Only way to process a transaction is directly through the website

We ended up using Tipalti which seems to have solved our specific needs better, though it is more expensive.

I use different payment systems depending on the goal. Skrill is good when my contractor prefers this way of payment. Also, Skrill is a preferred payment option in many online services, which makes it easy to use. Also, Skrill issues a real plastic Visa card you can use like any bank card.

PayPal has it's own niche, and have more stand alone options, but they are confusing to navigate unless you are in their system a lot. Integration can take a lot more time to do and test out. Plus WePay charges less than PayPal does which in this case is an advantage.

Return on Investment
Paysafe
  • I can quickly deposit my international multi-currency account without making an expensive wire transfer, with no border restriction as long as I have the mobile app with me.
  • Skrill is very convenient for each transfer amount up to EURO 2,500, and EURO 15,000/monthly.
  • Possibility of hiring freelancers for my company with immediate payments.

  • Cuts down on sales time because Wepay does the approval instantly
  • Less return on a per transaction basis because the Wepay fees are pretty high to start with so we can't mark them up too high
