Skrill Virtual MasterCard – Available now

Skrill just recently announced that clients now can also enjoy the benefits of a Skrill Virtual MasterCard for their accounts in addition to the regular plastic prepaid MasterCard. With this news we want to give you a quick overview about the benefits, the fees and how you can order your virtual card.

Let’s have a look at the details.

Skrill Virtual MasterCard – What is it?

The Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard allows you to use the funds in your Skrill Account to make online purchases wherever a Mastercard is accepted. As it is a virtual card, it cannot be used offline or at ATMs. It can only be used for your online payments..

One of the major benefits is, you can decide how long you want it to remain active which will give you an extra level of security and avoid potential fraud compared to the regular plastic Skrill MasterCard.

Skrill Virtual MasterCard – How to order the card

Ordering your card is a fast and easy process. First you need to make sure that you have a funds in our Skrill account. Then you can order the card by:

1. Simply click on the “Skrill Card “option on the left-hand side of your Skrill Account.
2. Within the Skrill Virtual Cards section, click on “Add a Card”.
3. Fill out the form by selecting the Card Currency (available in PLN, GBP, USD, EUR) – make sure to choose the currency that you do most of your transaction with  to avoid any currency exchange fees.
