Why I joined NETELLER
I joined NETELLER over 3 years ago and I still remember the job posting clearly. “The world’s leading independent online payments business,” was looking for a marketing manager who could promote, “innovative and instant payment services where money transfer is difficult due to identity, trust, currency exchange or distance.”
I had no idea what any of that meant. Still, I was intrigued by the job and the opportunity to work in the dot com industry. So I applied, nailed the interview, and have been happily working here ever since.
What’s an eWallet?
I had a lot to learn in the early days, starting with wrapping my head around what exactly an eWallet was. By now, I’ve got the elevator version down to an art form. Think of NETELLER as your online wallet. Just as you have a wallet to hold all of your cash when you’re on the go, a secure eWallet holds your cash when you’re online.
You’re probably thinking “So what? I can use my credit card when I’m spending online.” True, but here are the top 3 reasons you need an eWallet:
- It’s easier to transfer funds to multiple sites with an eWallet. If you want to transfer money to sites with a credit card, you have to take it out every time and top up those accounts. That means you are entering all your personal and credit card information into every site you visit and keeping cash all over the internet. Instead, an eWallet lets you keep your money (and personal information) in 1 place and you can move it around to any site you want, when you want.
- It’s the fastest way to cash out of your favourite sites. Getting your money out of a merchant site can be a real pain. They usually only offer slow and expensive options like cheques. That’s so old school. An eWallet allows you to instantly transfer money from your favourite sites back to your eWallet so that you can pull it out at ATMs or use it at point-of-sale terminals anywhere in the world.
- Lots of sites decline credit cards. Need I say more?
Here’s a diagram that I use to help explain how an eWallet works:
Put simply, eWallet is a payment solution designed specifically for the online world, and once you use it, you won’t go back to the old way of doing things. Just like I’ll never go back to my old job.
