Currency Converter

The Exchange feature allows you to add secondary account balances in different currencies to your primary account currency and thus avoid currency conversion fees. There are three ways to do this:

• Convert your money from one currency to another via the Exchange section of your account – just select the currencies to exchange money from and to, enter the amount and confirm the transaction. Once the exchange is complete, a separate secondary currency balance will be created in your account.
• Deposit money in a specific currency – when you upload money using one of the options available to you in the Deposit section, you can choose the deposit currency from a drop-down menu. Once the deposit is complete, a separate balance in this currency will be created in your account.
• Make a Skrill Money Transfer in a currency different from your primary Skrill account currency – if the sending currency of your transfer is different from your primary account currency, a separate balance in this currency will be created in your Skrill account.

Strong Customer Authentication is a European regulatory requirement which aims at making online payments more secure.

As a result of this requirement, on some occasions (when logging in or completing a transaction) we may ask you for additional authentication either via a 6-digit SMS code sent to your mobile phone or via a 6-digit email verification code sent to your primary e-mail address (used in combination with your Skrill PIN). Keep in mind that each verification code is valid for 15 minutes only.

If you have downloaded, installed, and signed into the Skrill mobile app at least once in the past, you may also receive a push notification on your mobile device to authenticate you. 

How can I update and/or verify my phone number?

1. Log into your Skrill account via a web browser
2. Go to Settings > Personal details > Phone number
3. You’ll see the options to Add, Verify and/or Edit your mobile number – just follow the on-screen instructions

To avoid any service interruptions, make sure your registered phone number is verified and up to date.
