Moneybookers is a “money transmitter” that enables any business or consumer to send and receive payments both securely and cost-effectively.

Using Moneybookers is like using a bank account with a switch (debit) card, but without the card. Because a credit card is not involved, nor a is it a credit system, no-one needs to trust you - demanding proof of credit-worthiness - nor can a bank draw you into (credit card) debt.

Moneybookers enables any business or consumer with an email address to securely and cost-effectively send and receive payments online – in real-time!

Use Moneybookers to:

1. Send money via email from your credit card or bank account
2. Make online purchases
3. Collect money via email

Moneybookers delivers a product ideally suited for small businesses, online merchants, individuals and others currently underserved by traditional payment mechanisms. As a true global payment solution, we welcome customers from every nation of the earth!

Moneybookers Limited is a money transmitter regulated under UK law. Moneybookers parent: Gatcombe Park Ventures Limited, London.
