It’s better than a credit card


This post was written by Lea K. She is the Manager of Consumer Marketing and currently manages all customer marketing programs. This is the 2nd in a series of posts where Lea will be talking about the benefits of using a NETELLER eWallet. You can read the 1st post here.

I already told you the elevator ride version of what a NETELLER eWallet is all about. But sometimes I give the dinner party version too.

Once people hear that it’s more than just a credit card alternative, they start getting interested. They want to know how they get money into their eWallet and that’s when I put my money hat on and tell them more about it.

You can load money into your eWallet in a variety of ways – the choice is yours:

  1. Deposit using a local bank deposit method like Poli (if you’re from the UK or Australia), giropay (if you’re in Germany)  or iDEAL (if you’re in the Netherlands). You can also use your debit or credit card.
  2. Transfer money into your eWallet from a merchant’s site. Simply visit their cashout page and select NETELLER as the withdrawal option.
  3. Receive money from someone through NETELLER Money Transfer.

Many of these options are free to use and we also have frequent “free deposit” promotions which are a great opportunity to load more funds into your eWallet.

Not only do we give you choice in loading your account, we offer dozens of currency options too, which can reduce your overall foreign exchange costs.

Currency choice and foreign exchange fees

Your eWallet lets you transact in multiple currencies because in the online world there are no borders. For instance, even if you live in the UK, you can easily transact online in US Dollars (USD). Just get a USD NETELLER account and once you have loaded your eWallet, you can move your funds to as many different merchants as you’d like without worrying about paying a foreign exchange (FX) fee every time (provided the merchant you deal with transacts in that currency or whatever your currency of choice is). In the long run, you’ll save big on FX fees.

    Last august I pre-loaded the card before we went on holiday. First day, across the border, I filled up the car at a highway (well, autobahn) gasstation. I took out my debitcard but they had a malfunction. Took out the Neteller prepaid Mastercard and paid without a problem. Not having enough cash on me, it saved me a lot of trouble.

    You do not offer New Zealand currency option. This effectively costs me two currency conversion fees. USD to another currency and then to my New Zealand bank account. Your competitor offers NZD accounts and funds transfer. It costs me 4% to withdraw from Neteller.
