What is Skrill, and what should Ukrainian users check?
Skrill is an e-wallet for holding money in several currencies, including USD and EUR. Skrill Limited is authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority as an electronic money institution; customers in the European Economic Area are served by Paysafe Payment Solutions Limited.
Whether you live in Ukraine or have moved abroad, check availability for your country of residence before selecting a service. Choose the USD or EUR balance you intend to use so that the listed route matches the money you will send or receive.
What are Skrill's rules on crypto-related payments?
Skrill's own crypto service is available only to residents of supported countries. Payments through an independent exchanger remain subject to the wallet's terms, so check the rules that apply to your account and country.
The Skrill routes on OnExchanger are offers from independent exchangers. These services set their own order conditions and carry out the transaction.
An exchanger's offer does not establish that the wallet provider permits the payment.
How do you complete a swap through a Skrill exchanger?
Create the order on the exchanger's website after selecting the route and amount. The steps depend on whether you are sending crypto or paying from your wallet.
- Choose the exact wallet currency and crypto network, then compare the amount you would receive. Check whether the rate is fixed or floating.
- Create an order on the exchanger's website and enter the payout account or crypto wallet address. Check any verification requirements before paying.
- For a payout to Skrill, send crypto to the address shown in the order using the specified network. The exchanger waits for network confirmations before paying the account entered in the order.
- To buy crypto, pay from your wallet as the order instructs. The exchanger sends crypto to the wallet address you provided.
Read the payment instructions before sending funds; the order and its payout conditions belong to the exchanger.
What should you check before paying with Skrill?
Check account ownership, the crypto network and the exchanger's requirements before sending money. Skrill withdrawals must go to a bank account or payment method in your own name.
- Account details: confirm that the name and destination entered in the order match the account you intend to use. Some exchangers request proof of ownership or AML/KYC verification.
- Network: match the order's network to the one used for sending. The guide to choosing a
USDT network explains the options. - Provider: read the conditions and use the guide to checking a crypto exchanger before placing an order.
If a requirement is unclear, resolve it with the exchanger before paying.
