Neteller
While payment options like Visa and Mastercard have been around for years upon years, ever since the dawn of internet shopping, new alternative methods of purchasing goods and services have been popping up everywhere. eWallets have become one of the more utilised and preferred methods for quite some time now, and while most people will be more familiar with the Paypal company in general, online games players will recognise Neteller more so. It is owned by the publicly traded British global payments company, Paysafe Group Plc., and its services are available to people in over 200 countries around the world.
As a basic description of it, it is able to transfer money to and from merchants who accept it as a payment method. This is its primary use, although Neteller does also offer up one or two other options to its users in order to further enhance their experience of utilising it. The company itself was created back in 1999 in Canada, and it would move to the Isle of Man in the year of 2004. Since that time, the company has grown considerably, and is now recognised as one of the biggest eWallets online, on par with others such as the aforementioned Paypal, and the former Moneybookers, now known as Skrill. The year of 2015 would also see the Paysafe Group finalise a transaction to acquire the Skrill Group, bringing together two of Europe’s largest online payment systems.
