Skrill Bangladesh: Sign-Up, Verification, Withdrawal

Skrill does not publish a list of countries by name. It serves every country in the “Country of residence” list on its sign-⁠up form, and Bangladesh is not named in that article. Skrill’s money transfer page does list Bangladesh as a payout country and says freelancers can receive payments into a Skrill account and withdraw them in taka. Whether you can open an account is therefore decided by the list in the registration form, not by this guide.

How do I open a Skrill account in Bangladesh?

Open the registration form, pick your country of residence, enter your details and set a PIN. If Bangladesh is in the list, you can register. Use your real residence, because verification later compares your documents with your registered data.

You choose the account currency at sign-⁠up. If you want to join the bonus programme for Skrill via eWO, register through our link; otherwise the account isn’t linked to us.

How do I verify my account?

Skrill lets you send and receive money without verification up to a limit. When you reach it, verification is required. The steps from the Skrill help article:

1. Open Settings > Verification & features. Depending on the country, you may first need a deposit or an incoming payment.
2. Confirm your source of wealth and what you mainly use Skrill for.
3. Photograph the front and back of your ID with the app or webcam, then take a selfie.
4. Prove your address when Skrill asks for it: by geolocation where available, or with a document showing your full name and address, dated within the last 90 days.

After the ID check your limits rise automatically. Verifying the address gives you the highest limits. Skrill gives no review time and no limit amounts on this page, so the numbers in your account are the ones that count.

What does Skrill cost in Bangladesh?

The fee table that applies to your account is shown in your account and before every transaction. We don’t list Bangladesh-specific amounts here. Two rules from the Skrill fee list apply to everyone: an inactivity fee of 5 USD per month starts after 12 months without a login or transaction, and currency conversion is charged on top of the exchange rate. Log in at least once a year to avoid the inactivity fee.

How do I withdraw money to a bank account?

The withdrawal article describes these steps:

1. Open Withdraw in your account, then Bank Account > Withdraw Now.
2. Pick a bank account or add one. An account abroad may also work.
3. Enter the amount and confirm with your PIN.

The account must be in your own name, matching the name on your Skrill account. Crediting takes 1 to 5 business days. Fee, limits and minimum amount are shown in the Withdraw area. Skrill names no countries for this option, so check there whether it is offered for your account. Your bank may add its own conversion fee.

Is there a Skrill card for Bangladesh?

No. The prepaid Skrill Mastercard, physical and virtual, is only offered to residents of the SEPA area.

What do you get through eWO?

If you register through eWO, you get a 0.5% bonus on every merchant deposit, reach Silver VIP at €5,000 instead of €15,000 volume per quarter and get the extra Bronze Pro tier. Verification usually takes one business day, with no deposit needed first. Signing up costs nothing. Details are on the Skrill page.

How do I reach Skrill support?

All contact options, from the Sofia chat to the phone line, are in our Skrill support guide. Skrill lists them in its help centre as well.
