Skrill is an electronic money system. The business was founded in 2001. It allows people to make simple, secure, and quick money transfers and payments through the Internet — from international money transfers to shopping, gaming, trading, and betting. It is the best and secure way to pay for items on Baxity Store — a relible reseller of vouchers, prepaid, gift and gaming cards.
Skrill Account Registration
Opening a Skrill account is free. All you need to create an account is a working phone number and e-mail address. You will need to pass the verification process and make a deposit with the amount of $5 as you are an ordinary user. If you are registering through Baxity.com, you shouldn’t make a deposit for verification. And then your account will be up and running.

How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication or 2FA is an extra security measure that requires something only the user has on them — it could be a mobile phone or a token. Using a password and e-mail together with a 2FA will significantly reduce the risk of intruders gaining access and stealing your data or identity. To enable two-factor authentication of Skrill:
- Log into your Skrill account, click on Settings at the left side of your screen, and then click on Security.
- Please scroll down to 2 Factor Authentication, click on it, and then click TURN ON AUTHENTICATION.
- The next step will require you to install the Google Authenticator app from the Google Play Store or Apple app store on your mobile device.
- Open Google authenticator from your mobile device and scan the code displayed on your screen.
- When scanning is completed, fill in the code in the box labelled Enter Key and then click Verify to finalize the setup.
With the 2 Factor Authenticator activated, you’ll be required to enter the code generated from the Google Authenticator app during login into My Account, Wallet Checkout, or Skrill mobile applications.
Registration of 2nd Currency Account
Only Skrill VIPs with Silver, Gold, or Diamond accounts are allowed to open multiple accounts in different currencies. If you are a Skrill VIP user and you wish to open another Skrill account but in a different currency, follow the steps below:
- Click here and use a new e-mail to create a new account.
- After completing the registration form, select a different currency as a secondary account.
- Contact the Skrill VIP Team with the e-mail address of the new account and the e-mail address of the old account to link them up.
- After the accounts have been linked, you’ll be able to add the same bank accounts and credit cards to all linked accounts.
- Now you can apply for a second currency Skrill Card of the international payment system MasterCard. For instance, if you have EUR currency card, now you could order it in GBP.
Process of Switching Account Currency
The primary currency of a Skrill account can’t be changed unless you close your current Skrill account and then open a new one. Even though this process works, the disadvantage of this is that you would not see your old transaction history. Also, you may not be able to use some information you previously had registered. Nevertheless, the process of switching account currency allows you to be able to hold your balance in different fiat currencies as well as exchange them within your wallet. There are three variants:
1. All new Skrill accounts already have the option of multi-currency
- Login to your Skrill account and click Deposit. You have to deposit with a credit card in the currency of your choice.
- Select a payment option of your choice.
- As soon as you deposit the money through the payment option, it will appear in your primary Skrill account, which will activate the multi-currency feature.
- When you want to make a transaction, you can choose the currency in which you wish to send money.
- Money that is received will go into the current currency account, and if you don’t have one yet, it will go to your primary account.
2. VIP Silver accounts allow you to create an additional account in another currency without verification. You can learn more about Skrill VIP benefits on our website.
3. You can request the withdrawal of the amount to your bank account in the currency that differs from the currency of your account:
- Ensure there is enough balance on your account, then select Withdrawal.
- Select the account in the other currency you’d want to withdraw.
- Enter the amount, then click Next.
- Confirm the details, then click Confirm, and you’re done. You’ll get a confirmation e-mail telling you the transaction details and a second e-mail when the funds have been sent.

I have encounter the above problem, may i known how to resolve it?
Dear Koh, in this case, you need to contact Skrill customer support so that they can keep the account you want to use active and block the other account.
I’m a bit confused about the currency to use as my primary currency on the new Skrill account I wanted to create. I’m a Nigerian but I’m thinking of using pounds as my primary currency. Would it be possible or have negative effect on my account?
When selecting your primary currency on Skrill, it’s essential to consider your location and the currencies you frequently deal with. While using pounds as your primary currency is possible, it’s important to note potential exchange rate fluctuations and conversion fees, especially if most of your transactions are in Nigerian currency. Contacting Skrill customer support will provide you with accurate information and guidance tailored to your specific situation, ensuring you make an informed decision about your primary currency selection.
cool, good information, i will use you to sign up for skrill soon but i first have question about benefits. You say I get good access to vip programs quicker, but why is VIP good? What do levels offer me? Will plain account be okay, or is high vip necessary?

My skrill account has money but I can’t withdraw for almost an year av been trying.am not happy with your services
Dear Tetty Omondi, we deeply regret you that you faced such problem using Skrill! Withdrawal of funds is available only for verified customers. So to have the opportunity to withdraw funds from Skrill, firstly you have to verify your Skrill account. The case is that Skrill has quite strict Terms of use and verification requirements. We can’t influence that, unfortunately. Here you can find the detailed instruction on Skrill account verification: https://baxity.com/skrill-verification
If the document you submitted meets all the necessary requirements, but it was still not accepted by Skrill, you can try to send this document for verification again. Sometimes the same document is not accepted for the first time.
If you have any problems concerning the verification process or if you run into any further issues, please, contact us via our live chat, and we will be happy to help you in solving your problem.
Hi, I am considering making skrill account. Could you answer my question though? You say there is multi-currency account, but what Saudi Riyal? I am travelling to Europe soon and I want to spend my money without huge conversion fees.
Dear Maha, thank you for your question! You can create Skrill account in Saudi Riyal (SAR), but when making transactions via bank account (deposits, withdrawals) and transfers between Skrill account keep in mind, please, that if the currencies are different the conversion fee will be applied. I would give you more information concerning this issue if you told me what kind of transfers in Skrill you are going to make mostly. By the way, you can reduce fees in Skrill by receiving VIP status in Skrill. You can get VIP status on more favourable terms registering Skrill account via our special link.
Oh is so good to know I can make SAR account! I will remember the conversion fees info, thanks for telling me. and 2 answer your question, I will use atms, pay for food, hotel, and fun things to do. How much VIP can reduce conversion fee?
You mentioned the ATM withdrawals, so the case is that Skrill Prepaid MasterCard is available only for EEA countries residents, the same referred to Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard. Here are the conversion fees according to VIP status of the account:
3.99 % regular accounts;
3.79 % VIP Bronze;
2.89 % VIP Silver;
2.59 % VIP Gold;
1.99 % VIP Diamond.
Hmmm, fee goes under 3% for VIP Silver, wow!! That is really good amount, is low, yes? i am sad tho that the card is not sending to Saudi Arabia… Maybe I make an account anyway for other transfers. i realy hope skrill prepaid card moves to more countries, because eea is very small number of countries. i’ll look into other card services tho too. anyways, thanks for help me!
You are welcome, Maha! Hope you will enjoy all the features of the Skrill service despite the lack of a card.
I want to use your link to make skrill account, but I have question first – why I must turn off vpn for it to work?
Layla, thank you for your comment! Disabling VPN will protect you from potential blocking problems. The security service strictly monitors the location from where the user logs into his account. If during registration you use the VPN, and then enter the wallet from your real IP, the account can be immediately frozen or even closed for suspicion of hacking.
I’m waiting for verification from Skrill. Can i still pay online during verification with Skrill??
Jasko, thank you for your comment. Before verification, you have the opportunity to make any operations within the total limit of 500 euros. However, we always strongly recommend our clients wait for successful account verification before making any transactions. This is due to the fact that the Skrill security service monitors the actions of unverified accounts very closely, and can freeze the account even after the first 30-50 euros transaction .
skrill is a scam, i tried to sign up for account and they never verified my address!!! Why is that?? i don’t advise using skrill at all
Atsuuu_time_1, we are really sorry for your bad impression of Skrill service. Here are some basic requirements for a address document:
– it must contain your full name and address, specified during registration;
– it must have the signature of the employee or the seal of the organization issuing the document;
– the date of issue of the document must be less than 3 months at the time of uploading the document;
– all edges of the document must be in the frame, the document must not be cut.
Perhaps your problem with the denial of verification is in one of these points.
Please How do i go about the verification of my account.
I do not have my postal code on my Identity care and my address is not well written on my international passport.
Please attend to me at your earliest convenience
Lawrence, thank you for your question, and we are sorry that you had to wait so long for an answer.
Your passport or an international passport will not be suitable for verifying the address. For this step, a bank statement, a housing rental agreement or utility bills will be suitable. You can also see the full list of suitable documents in your account.
The requirements for the address document are common: the full name and address must be specified and match the data in the wallet; the document must be no older than 90 days; there must be a signature or seal of the organization that issued the document.
If you still have any questions, please contact us by email support@baxity.com, and we will respond within a business day
