Skrill

Leading digital wallet provider focused on international transfers and online gaming payments

Skrill is a digital wallet and online payment service that facilitates international money transfers, online payments, and e-commerce transactions. Founded in 2001 as Moneybookers, the platform serves millions of customers worldwide, offering services including peer-to-peer money transfers, merchant payment processing, cryptocurrency transactions, and prepaid Mastercard solutions. The company is particularly popular among online gaming, forex trading, and e-commerce communities. Skrill operates as a subsidiary of Paysafe Group, which acquired the company in 2015. The platform supports transactions in over 40 currencies and is available in more than 200 countries and territories. Skrill provides both consumer-facing digital wallet services and business payment solutions for merchants seeking to accept online payments globally. While Skrill is primarily a fintech/payment processing company rather than an AdTech platform, it plays a role in the digital ecosystem by enabling payment transactions for digital services, including some advertising and marketing platforms. The company competes in the broader digital payments space with a focus on cross-border transactions, low fees, and fast processing times.
