Paysafe’s Skrill USA continues to innovate
digital wallet with Skrill Virtual Visa® Prepaid Card offering
convenient and flexible online payments
Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a leading specialized payments platform,
today announced that the Skrill USA digital wallet has unveiled a
virtual version of its existing Skrill Visa® Prepaid Card. Skrill
USA’s latest product innovation offers Americans a fully digital
payments solution which can be activated instantly to spend their
Skrill balance online wherever Visa® is accepted.
With the majority of U.S. and international eCommerce sites
supporting Visa® card payments, the Skrill Virtual Visa® Prepaid
Card, which is issued by the New York-headquartered Community
Federal Savings Bank (CFSB)1, allows Skrill USA customers to shop
online almost anywhere. Providing an alternative to the physical
CFSB-issued Skrill Visa® Prepaid Card, launched in January 2020,
the new virtual card involves a streamlined application process
(users’ first application is also free), and can be activated in
their account2 within seconds.
Once activated, users can shop online immediately. All card
details are instantly displayed within their Skrill account, with
no need to wait for the solution to be physically delivered.
Similarly, unlike a physical card, which can be mislaid or lost
requiring replacement delays, the Skrill Virtual Visa® Prepaid Card
remains constantly accessible until customers choose to lock or
deactivate it, which can be done within seconds.
While a customer incurs no transaction fees when shopping online
using the Skrill Virtual Visa® Prepaid Card, they do earn points
for each payment under the Skrill Knect loyalty program. Each
dollar spent online using the virtual card earns a Skrill user one
Knect point. Points are redeemable for cash above the 5,000
Knect-point threshold as well as other rewards.
The launch of the virtual Skrill Virtual Visa® Prepaid Card is
just Skrill USA’s latest move to strengthen its solution for
American consumers. In March, Skrill USA unveiled its
cryptocurrency offering, allowing U.S. customers across 37 states
and territories to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, after launching
Skrill Money Transfer, a digital remittance solution, in 2020.
Paul Jardon, CEO and CFO of Skrill USA, said: “We’re strongly
focused on evolving our product for U.S. consumers. The Skrill
Virtual Visa® Prepaid Card gives our customers all the benefits and
access to eCommerce of a physical Visa® card with all the speed and
convenience of a solution that is 100% digital.”
