Virtual payments

What if you would like to send money to someone who doesn’t have a bank account but does have online access? Or you would like to pay for a purchase without providing your bank card number? In that case virtual payments viaplatformen (via platforms) such as PayPal or Skrill (formerly: Moneybookers) offer good, round the clock alternatives.

How do virtual payments work? 4 stages:

1. Normally you create a personal account with the company that offers the virtual payment service. 
2. Enter the e-mail address that the beneficiary has linked to their account.
3. Enter the amount of your virtual payment.
4. Click on send.

The service will automatically collect the amount via:

• your personal account, providing this is in credit
• your credit card or bank account, if the balance in your personal account is zero or insufficient.

Warning! You may have to pay commission for the use of the platform.
