Payment system Moneybookers, registration in Moneybookers

At a certain stage of working with microstock agencies, every microstock contributor faces the question: “How and where to withdraw money from microstocks?” This is a very reasonable question, especially for contributors from the CIS. Most microstock agencies offer options for transferring earned money to accounts in payment systems like PayPal and Moneybookers. Withdraw money from microstocks via the PayPal payment system contributors from Russia and other former Soviet republics will not be able to due to the restrictions of this payment system on certain types of transactions. Therefore, they will have to use the Moneybookers payment system to withdraw money from microstocks. Currently, this payment system has become one of the fastest and most optimal options for receiving earned funds from microstock agencies; for this reason, I present to you an overview of working with this system. In today’s note, I will try to explain what kind of beast the Moneybookers payment system is, how to register in Moneybookers and how to start working with it.
What is the Moneybookers (Skrill) system?
Moneybookers is an electronic payment system registered in the UK. Moneybookers is very similar to the more widespread payment system PayPal, but it also differs advantageously in that Moneybookers, unlike PayPal, works with the majority of Eastern European countries, including the CIS. The international payment system Moneybookers offers the possibility of urgent deposits and withdrawals. Today, Moneybookers is the ideal option for quickly receiving money earned in microstock agencies. Schematic withdrawal of funds is quite simple: microstock agencies online transfer your money to the account you specified in the Moneybookers payment system, and then that money accumulates until you request a transfer of these funds from the system to your currency bank account or to a Visa payment card. The transfer of money to a Visa payment card happens instantly, but it will take another 3-4 business days for your bank to confirm the operation. If you request withdrawal of money from Moneybookers to your bank account, this transfer takes from 4 to 14 days depending on the country of residence. You can also spend the money in your Moneybookers account for online purchases (through your account in the system, you can pay for purchases at 40,000 online stores) or transfer money to another person’s account in the payment system. Russian-speaking users often refer to the Moneybookers payment system as “bookers”.
The reliability of the Moneybookers payment system (Skrill) is vividly demonstrated by the fact that the payment system is under strict control of the British Financial Services Authority (FSA) and adheres to the strictest norms and rules developed for licensed financial institutions. Moreover, the Moneybookers payment system acts as a kind of safe for your data: you can conduct all financial operations through this payment system, which is a licensed banking institution, using only your email address and password, without disclosing your personal account information to third parties.
Registration in Moneybookers
Recently, the payment system made a Russian-language version of its service, so registering in Moneybookers poses no problems. Currently, there are only two barriers to registration in Moneybookers: being under 18 years old or living in a country that does not wish to cooperate with the international community in combating money laundering.
To register in Moneybookers, you need to visit the payment system’s website via this link: https://www.moneybookers.com and select the Russian interface (if it was not selected by default), then click the “Register” button:
On the next page after clicking the button, you will need to enter:
Attention! After selecting the account currency and conducting at least one transaction, you will not be able to change the currency of your account in the system. Opening more than one account with the payment system is prohibited. If a user with two or more accounts is detected, the user will be blocked and will not be able to retrieve their remaining funds.
Have you entered the data? Double-checked? If everything is correct, click the “Next” button and wait for an email from Moneybookers. You will receive an email at the address you provided during registration with a link to activate your account. The verification link will be valid for 24 hours. By clicking on this link, you will proceed to the next page of the Moneybookers registration process. On this page, you will need to fill in a few fields with your personal information. In the future, in the “Profile” menu of your account, you will be able to change your street address, city, district, postal code, and country. However, you can only edit your contact details in your account once every 90 days.
You must enter your personal information in Latin characters (in English letters) to avoid future problems. I recommend entering the data as they are printed in your passport. If that is not possible, try to enter the information in the same way as you provided it when registering with the photobanks. I would like to note that you will need to enter your date of birth every time you withdraw money from Moneybookers to compare it with the date you provided during registration. Additionally, the payment system’s rules require that the account or credit card used to withdraw money from Moneybookers is in the same name as that provided during registration.
After you fill in all the fields and double-check them for accuracy, click “Next” to confirm your registration with Moneybookers. Your registration with Moneybookers is complete! Immediately after confirmation, you can start receiving funds to your Moneybookers account (don’t forget to indicate the payment method as Moneybookers in your photobank account settings and specify the email used as your account identifier in the system).
By the way, receiving funds from photobanks to your Moneybookers account incurs no fees and is completely free.
I will discuss withdrawing money from the system, rates, and the payment system’s support service in the continuation of this article about Moneybookers soon.
100 DOLLARS IN THE TRANSPARENT VAULT AND THE INSCRIPTION impossible How to get them out of there?????
I made a transaction of 100 dollars on Skrill and it got stuck in the transparent box. There is an inscription on the side: IMPOSSIBLE.
I don’t quite understand where the transparent box is. Have you tried writing or calling Skrill support?
Hi
Thank you. I read it and managed to register a wallet on Skrill; let’s see how the first payout from the stock goes.
I want to register in this payment system because of its reliability
I want to register in this payment system
Alexey, please register. It’s free of charge.
I think it’s good.
Has Moneybookers closed? I want to register.
sanya18, no, it hasn’t closed. There was just a rebranding and now their name is Skrill. At the top of this article, there is a banner for Skrill; if you take a look, you can click and go to the registration page for the payment system.
Ok

Literally within a few seconds, the money will be with the recipient.
I REALLY LIKED YOUR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION! I WANT TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
Hello!
Hello! I kindly ask for your help in understanding. I have over $100 on Shutterstock, and I haven’t registered anywhere for withdrawal yet and haven’t even thought about it… until now. But I’ve been told that money withdrawal will start on May 1, and it turns out that I won’t have anywhere to withdraw it? What will happen if by then I still haven’t specified where to withdraw it on the stock? And where do I specify that? I haven’t found it yet. And during registration, I don’t remember whether I specified it or not. Also, at the moment, I have a foreign (in dollars) MasterCard, a simple social Visa, and a regular bank account. Can I use any of these? Or do I need to specifically get a Visa? Thank you in advance. I have been trying to find a solution for several days.
Hello, Lesya!
Look, on Shutterstock, on the page with your information, you need to add your Moneybookers address (the email you used to register your account with the payment processors). This page can be found at https://submit.shutterstock.com/admin.mhtml?account_id=(Your ID) or simply, when you log into your account, your name is displayed at the top; hover over it and click Account settings. Check that what is indicated in the line “Paypal/Moneybookers Email Address(if different):” is your email used for registration with Moneybookers.
Now, regarding Moneybookers. You can withdraw money either to Visa cards or to a bank account. For small amounts, using a card is optimal. As for your social Visa, check with your bank if it can be topped up there. However, I still recommend opening a separate Visa card in dollars for withdrawing money. That would be the best option.
Good day. Could you please tell me where I can read about withdrawing money from Skrill and how to link a card to it? Thank you very much for your help.
Good day, Lesya!
Skrill is the new name for Moneybookers. I wrote about withdrawing money from Moneybookers, including linking and verifying a card, in the article https://microstock.top/mikrostoki/vyvod-deneg-iz-manibukers-sapport-moneybookers/. The article is quite old, but not much has changed.
Hello! Could you please tell me if I can use the same email address for registration in Moneybookers-Skrill and in the photobank?
Good afternoon!
Yes, you can use the same email.
Hello. I want to top up my Moneybookers account to play poker. How can I fund my account without indicating the reason for the deposit? The thing is, funds sent from South Korean Visa cards to gambling accounts are not transferred.
Good afternoon!
When you add a card to Moneybookers, make sure to indicate that it’s for gaming purposes. Then just make a deposit to Moneybookers from your card. The bank will not show that you are transferring this money to a poker site. It will just appear as a trade transaction with the Moneybookers merchant.
Good afternoon.
I want to change the payment email address for Skrill on Shutterstock. Will Shutter detect that this account is not mine or not? Thank you.
Good afternoon, Anna!
No, if this address is not used for payments by another author on Shutter, then there should be no problems.
Hello!
When registering at the poker room, I specified my first and last name in Russian. If I indicate my name and surname in Latin letters when registering with the bookmakers (as you recommended in your article), will I have issues withdrawing funds? And one more question: I have a Visa Electron debit card with a ruble account. Is it critical to open a dollar account for it if the poker room only operates in that currency (specifically in US dollars)? Or will the bank automatically convert the received dollars to rubles at its own rate? Thank you in advance for your answer!
Good afternoon!
There will be no problems with Moneybookers, the main thing is the correct email, as accounts within the bookmakers are identified by email.
Opening a dollar account is not necessary, as banks usually do automatic conversions when currencies do not match. But don’t forget that you will incur additional conversion costs, both due to the commission itself and because banks usually set a not-so-favorable exchange rate.
Good day,
A question regarding the item in the registration form “country of permanent residence”.
The tooltip for this item states: you need to select the country from which you want to fund your Moneybookers account.
If I want to transit payments from affiliate programs, and payments are made by organizations (such as legal entities) from banks in offshore zones, what should I indicate in this field?
Also: how does Moneybookers treat monthly large payments from such banks?
Good day!
Please specify the country of your residence regardless of who is sending you money.
If the transfers are justified, even if they are in tens of thousands, there shouldn’t be any issues. At most, they might ask for an explanation of the nature of the transfers, who or what the money was sent for.
An unexpected problem came up. When verifying through the link from the email, it shows an error saying the code is incorrect. Unlike in the article, I had to enter my details right away. What could be the issue?
If there’s an issue with the code, you should contact support. Regarding the changes when entering your details, note that the article was written over a year ago, so Moneybookers may have made some changes, especially since they’re transitioning to Skrill, so expect many updates…
