How to connect and verify your debit/credit card on Skrill

The first thing you will probably think of after opening is depositing to your wallet. You have to check your debit or credit card to make deposits without restriction. Unverified cards have FSA limits. Use the following steps to add and verify your cards. Note that any mastercard or visa card that can transact internationally is acceptable.

Now it’s time to confirm the transaction from your bank. You can either verify this by checking the amount debited or the transaction code sent by Skril. If the amount is not in Euros (the amount must be in Euros), then you can only confirm the money transfer through the code sent. You can see this 4 digit number in the narration panel of your bank account mini-statement.

Once you get the code or the amount debited by Skrill, login and head to “Cards or Bank Accounts”. To verify your debit or credit card, follow the prompts until your bank details are accepted.

If by any chance you can’t locate the code, and the amount was debited in Kenyan Shillings, don’t panic. Take a screenshot of the statement and sent it to the support team telling them to verify your bank details.
