May 02, 2026A Lifesaver for International Freelancers
As a freelance writer working with clients across Europe and the US, Skrill has been a game-changer. The fees for receiving international payments are significantly lower than traditional bank transfers, and the money arrives almost instantly. Setting up the wallet was straightforward, and I appreciate the strong security features that keep my funds safe. It's become my go-to for getting paid without the usual hassle and high costs.

Skrill has been incredibly reliable for receiving payments from my overseas clients. The fees are transparent and lower than many competitors, making it cost-effective for both me and my clients. Setting up an account and linking my bank was straightforward, and transactions are usually processed within a day.

Apr 27, 2026Decent for Transfers, a Headache for Verification
Sending money internationally with Skrill is genuinely quick and the fees are lower than many banks, which is a huge plus. However, their Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process was incredibly frustrating and took over a week to resolve, with slow, templated responses from support. Once verified, it works reliably, but that initial hurdle is a major downside.

Apr 25, 2026Frustrating fees and terrible support
I tried Skrill for an international transfer because of their advertised low fees, but the hidden charges were ridiculous. My transfer was held for verification for over a week with no updates, and customer support was completely unresponsive to my multiple requests for help. The app is glitchy, and unlocking my account was a nightmare. I've switched back to my old provider.

Apr 23, 2026My Go-To for International Payments
I've been using Skrill for over a year to send money to family abroad and for freelance work. The fees are significantly lower than my old bank's wire transfers, and transfers are usually completed within a day. The app is straightforward, and I've never had a security concern. The only minor drawback is that verifying my account took a bit of time.

Mar 17, 2026Handy for International Transfers, but Beware the Fees and Support
I've used Skrill for sending money abroad a few times and it's been mostly reliable and quick, which is great. However, the fees can be confusing and add up, and I found their customer support painfully slow when I had a verification issue.

Mar 13, 2026Reliable and Cost-Effective for Global Payments
I've been using Skrill for over a year now to handle international payments, and it's been a lifesaver for my freelance work with clients overseas. The fees are significantly lower than traditional bank transfers, and the transfers usually complete within a day or two. The app is straightforward, making sending money a breeze, and I've never had any security concerns.

Mar 12, 2026Frustrating and opaque - moving my money elsewhere
The low fees are the only positive, but they come at a huge cost. I've had funds frozen for 'security reviews' for weeks with no clear explanation, and customer support is unresponsive and unhelpful. The verification process is a nightmare of contradictory requests, and navigating the fee structure for different transaction types is confusing.
