First off, the process of registering on Skrill is simple, requiring you to have a valid email address, create a strong password and fill in your details. The additional information that Skrill would need would be when you receive funds or initiate a deposit to the Skrill wallet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before we tell you how to create an account on Skrill, you should know there are two types of accounts &#8211; personal and business &#8211; which offer different features to users. If you are a business that receives lots of payment, then you may want to choose the Business account. On the other hand, if the volume of transactions you make online is not much, then go for a Personal account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how to register a Skrill account below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skrill.com.en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.skrill.com\/en\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or download the Skrill app on Playstore or App Store\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on &#8220;Sign up now&#8221; or &#8220;Register&#8221; on the homepage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter your valid email address and a strong password\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the type of Skrill wallet account you want.

You may also select Euros or any other currency you are paid with) Note, you can&#8217;t switch currencies after the account has been created<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select English as the language\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide the personal information required\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Input your phone number, then tick the &#8216; I&#8217;m not a robot &#8216; box and agree to the terms and conditions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click the &#8220;Open Account&#8221; to finish the process\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>How to Verify Your Skrill Account\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are four stages of verification you&#8217;d need to do if you want to enjoy great service on Skrill. This doesn&#8217;t, however, mean that you can&#8217;t make use of Skrill if you&#8217;re yet to complete this four-part verification process. If you want to enjoy the best features of Skrill, you&#8217;d have to complete your verification. The verification involves your email, address, credit\/debit card, and bank account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first verification process is to verify your email address. When you register, you&#8217;d be sent an email by Skrill which you&#8217;ll have to click the link therein to easily verify your email address.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other part of the verification process is to verify your address. To verify that the address you provided while signing up is genuine, Skrill will send a letter to that address. When you receive the letter, you&#8217;ll see it contains a 6-digit code. This code should be inputted on the Verification page of your Skrill account. Completing this step of the verification process will increase your sending limit to other Skrill users, and also raise the amount of money you can withdraw.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verifying your debit\/credit card is the third part of the verification exercise on Skrill. You&#8217;ll have to verify that the debit or credit card you want to use with Skrill is truly yours. It is important to state that only Visa debit or credit cards from Nigerian banks can be used to deposit funds into Skrill. Also, the name on the Visa card you&#8217;ll use must match the names provided during the registration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below is how to verify your Visa credit\/debit card:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the Skrill website: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skrill.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.skrill.com\/en\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Login into your Skrill account\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the &#8220;Deposit&#8221; section<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, select &#8220;Credit or Debit Card&#8221; and follow the instructions given\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 4-digit is automatically generated\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small amount of around $2.00 will be charged to your card\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a successful deposit, click the &#8220;Increase Limit&#8221; link\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your online banking or your statement to find the 4-digit verification code, next to the successful card transaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Input the 4-digit code in the provided box to complete the verification\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fourth part of the verification, which is the account stage, involves making a SWIFT bank transfer from your account into a bank account associated with Skrill. Note, only domiciliary bank accounts in Nigeria can perform such transactions. To get Skrill&#8217;s details which you would use, login into your account, then, go to the Deposit section, then Bank Transfer, and finally Deposit Now. You&#8217;ll see the bank details associated with Skrill along with your Reference Number.
