What is the Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard® and how can I get one?
The Skrill Prepaid Mastercard® is available only to residents of authorized European Economic Area (EEA) countries and the UK.
How does the Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard® work?
The Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard® allows you to use the funds in your Skrill Account to make online purchases wherever Mastercard® is accepted. As it is a virtual card, it cannot be used offline or at ATMs.
How can I get the Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard®?
If you have a positive account balance, you will be able to apply for a Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard®. Simply go to the section Skrill Card >Virtual in your account and press on Get a Virtual Card.
Once your Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard® is generated, you will notice the 16-digit card number appear on the screen, along with the Security Code (CVV) and the Expiry date. You can now use that Skrill Virtual generated card number at your favorite merchant.
Can I withdraw cash at an ATM with my Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard®?
No, ATM terminals require a card with PIN code to process a cash withdrawal. You can withdraw cash at an ATM using your physical Skrill Prepaid Mastercard®.
Can I use my Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard® to book a hotel room, book a flight or rent a car?
We do not recommend that you use your Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard® to book a hotel room, book a flight or rent a car as these merchants generally need a plastic card to verify. Since the Skrill Virtual Prepaid Mastercard® number is not the same number as that of a plastic card, they will not be able to confirm your booking.
