What Is Moneybookers?
According to Wikipedia, Moneybookers is a UK-based fund-transfer company, resembling PayPal, which allows people to send and receive money via e-mail. Users can send money from a credit card, or transfer money to and from a bank account in most OECD countries. Moneybookers is free for sellers except for a flat fee to withdraw funds by check or to bank account. As a security measure Moneybookers does limit transfers received by accounts to the thousands of dollars or euros. Unlike many competing online fund transfer services, Moneybookers requires identity verification before using their service; this minimizes fraud and prevents money laundering. Additional verification steps raise the maximum amount transferable to EUR 20,000 or equivalent within a 90-day period. Moneybookers does not usually get involved in merchandise disputes and the availability of credit card charge backs may be limited. Merchant accounts are available to qualified applicants.
