It’s better than a credit card
Posted by 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:
- 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.
- Transfer money into your eWallet from a merchant’s site. Simply visit their cashout page and select NETELLER as the withdrawal option.
- 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.

NETELLER VIP is second to none
Posted by Today’s post was written by Leanne. She is a Marketing Manager and works mainly on the VIP program.
I’ve been busy. Really busy. Probably the busiest I’ve been in my 4 years with NETELLER. So busy, in fact, that it’s kind of surprising my fish haven’t died. Thank goodness for the auto feeder I bought after I accidentally put them on a 3 day “diet”. I’m vegan, so I really can’t be looking like some kind of animal killer.
At least I have a good excuse for my absent-minded state. I’ve been intensely focused on improving our loyalty programs to make sure we keep on delivering only the best to our VIP members in 2009 and 2010.
Elite benefits for elite members
We’ve been pumping out the VIP benefits one after another. First free deposits, then the VIP Fraud Guarantee and then improving and expanding NETPoints… we’re giving you everything you’ve been asking for and we’re not stopping there. My motto: it’s never enough.
A better alternative
We understand there’s competition. But really, there’s no comparison, especially when it comes to VIP programs. Don’t believe us? The proof is in the pudding as they say. All you have to do is check out our VIP benefits page and compare it to the other guys. More benefits, more rewards. It’s all there.
Our experienced account managers know the system inside and out and listen closely to your comments about our program to constantly improve it. Bottom line: your business means a lot to us, and we’re willing to go the extra mile to keep doing business with you.
VIPs call the shots
Other companies have their own agendas. We’re not like that. We constantly incorporate your suggestions and deliver the services you want. Our NETPoints program was brought forward after countless emails I received on the topic. Over 30% of you said NETPoints was of high value to you and because of this we will continue to evolve the NETPoints program making it bigger and better for all of you.
Account level options offer peace of mind
Offering various account levels, especially at the VIP level, allows you to have the account that’s right for you. If you’re hitting your limits, let us know. We can request that your account move up to a higher level so you can take advantage of all NETELLER has to offer. Not meeting your limits? As an added security, you have the option to decrease your limits for extra peace of mind.
1.5% foreign exchange fees for VIPs
Last year we began offering free withdrawals and 1.5% foreign exchange (FX) exclusively to our VIPs. This change made our VIP program even more competitive and appealing to VIPs in the community. 1.5% FX is the lowest around. Transfer $100 with us and only pay $1.50, transfer with the other guys and pay almost $2.00. Sure, that doesn’t seem like a lot but you don’t end up becoming a VIP by moving a few hundred dollars.
If you were to transfer $20,000 with the competition, you’d be paying more than $350, but with us it’s only $300. Over a year of transfers to merchants (not to mention the fees you’re paying to transfer back to your eWallet) you’re paying $600 in extra FX. It adds up. Our VIP program allows you to spend more money for less.
Protecting your money
Over 50% of you said that security was the most valuable benefit you looked for in an eWallet VIP program. In response we created a VIP benefit that covers all possible violations of security and removes any apprehension members may feel when using an eWallet.
We came up with VIP Fraud Guarantee. Think of it as insurance on your NETELLER account. In the unlikely event a nasty hacker does get your account information, your balance is safe, no matter how much goes missing.
The best keeps getting better
I’m confident we’ve done really well this year in continuously renewing our VIP program, communicating how you can become VIP, and most importantly, listening to what you have to say to make our VIP program the best there is.
I’d love to tell you about everything that’s coming up but I have to keep it a secret! So for now, check your emails, read our blog and follow us on twitter for a never-ending supply of information on how we’re making the NETELLER VIP program the leader in eWallet loyalty programs.

NETELLER rewards Japan
Today’s post was written by Abasa Phillips. He works in NETELLER’s Asian operations and he’s also a sports fanatic.
It’s impossible not to catch sports fever in Japan right now. With the Japan Series of Baseball coming up, the November tournament for Sumo about to kick off and the Club World Cup gearing up, my eyes will be glued to the television.
Win big when you transfer money online in November
To celebrate sports this month we have a special promotion for our members in Japan. All members that transfer 1,000 USD or 10,000 USD to their favourite websites between Oct. 19 and Nov. 2 will receive an Amazon Japan gift card for 1,000 JPY or 5,000 JPY respectively.
Even if your team, horse or wrestler doesn’t win, that doesn’t mean you can’t!
What you need to know
- The promo period is between Oct. 19 and Nov. 2, 2009
- The electronic voucher will be issued in JPY and can be used on amazon.co.jp and is delivered via email 1 month after the confirmation of qualification.
- Each member is only eligible for 1 reward. Members who transfer 10,000 USD or more will only be eligible for the higher reward.
When will you do your transfers?
New NETPoints mean more NETELLER rewards
Today’s post was written by Leanne. She is a Marketing Manager and works mainly on the VIP program. She’s also in charge of the office fish tank.
For as long as I can remember we’ve had the NETPoints program for the NETELLER eWallet. It’s been around for so long that sometimes it’s easy to forget we’re the only eWallet company that offers this type of program.
What’s a NETPoint?
Members earn NETPoints every time they send money to friends, family or their favourite sites. They can use their points to enter draws to win big cash prizes – $4,500 USD worth per month! It’s no wonder many of our members take advantage of the weekly, bi-weekly and monthly giveaways. But not everyone knows it exists! Well, that’s ending now.
We asked members how we could kick the NETPoints program up a notch and got some great feedback. Now we’ve bulked it up with some fantastic benefits and are ready to send it to the masses!
The goods
- Earn points every time you send money online to your favourite site, to your friends using Money Transfer or when you use your Net+ card
- Use your points to enter weekly, bi-weekly and monthly draws (up to $4500 awarded monthly!) or use your points to enter tournaments
- VIPs can use their points for up to 10 free deposits a month!
And there will be more amazing benefits coming soon. Follow us on Twitter for even more chances to win NETPoints and to find out if you are the latest cash giveaway winner.
I can’t wait to see what you think about the revamped NETPoints program. You know where the comments go.
Online money transfers to friends and family are safe and easy
Posted by Today’s post was written by Gary. Before moving into his current role as Business Development Manager, Gary helped to develop NETELLER’s online Money Transfer service as the Marketing Manager for that program.
You’ve already heard me talk about sending money to my cousin Petra in Vienna and co-workers around the world. I’m starting to feel like kind of a broken record here, but people keep asking me how it works. For instance, my friend Chauncy recently told me that using bank transfers to send money to his wife’s family in Taiwan was about as easy as herding cats.
You see, bank wires take anywhere between 4 and 8 days, and the cost depends on how many banks touch the money en route to its final destination – and there’s no way of knowing in advance. Plus, there is no way of knowing if it’s been received. I told him he could save headaches and money by using Money Transfer.
Send money to non-NETELLER members
“That’s fine for you lot,” Chauncy said. “But my in-laws aren’t members.”
“Not a problem,” I said. “Provided your in-laws are online, and you have their email address, you can send them money with Money Transfer. Simply use their email address to initiate the transfer. Once you hit send, they’ll get a message instructing them on how to set up a free NETELLER account to receive the money.”
Give them the heads-up that you’ll be sending money by telling them to check out the NETELLER Money Transfer site at sendmoney.neteller.com
NETELLER online security
“Sure, I can do that,” he said. “But they’re pretty nervous about moving money online. How secure is the service? I want to pay them back without a hassle.”
I told him that NETELLER accounts have the best online security because of the stringent identification processes members go through. And NETELLER is a regulated e-money issuer that has been around for 10 years helping members move money around the world in over 180 countries and 20 currencies. His in-laws can rest assured knowing that their money will land in their NETELLER account safe and sound.

Send money online to more than 180 countries with NETELLER
Today’s post was written by Gary. Before moving into his current role as Business Development Manager, Gary helped to develop NETELLER’s online Money Transfer service as the Marketing Manager for that program. This is a follow-up to his first blog post, which you can read here.
I’ve already talked about using NETELLER’s Money Transfer service to save time and money while sending birthday money to my cousin Petra in Vienna.
But I could have just as easily talked about using it to send money to my manager Sona while she was visiting family in India to pick up gold jewelry and Pashmina shawls for my wife. Or I could have told you about the time I got paid back by Tom in our UK office after he lost a friendly bet we made about sales performance.
In fact, since Money Transfer allows members to send and receive money almost anywhere in the world, I could have described hundreds of ways of using Money Transfer.
How will you use it?
As long as you reside in one of the more than 180 serviced countries, you can start taking advantage of low cost money transfers around the world. Simply sign up for a free NETELLER account to start sending money to anyone in any of our supported countries.
Choose your currency
You didn’t think we’d offer a service in 180 countries and then skimp on the currencies, did you? Money Transfer provides automatic currency exchange between 20 currencies including US dollars, British Pounds, Chinese Renminbi, Indian Rupee, and the Euro. For a complete list of currencies, check out the Money Transfer website at sendmoney.neteller.com.
Using multiple currencies
When you open an account with NETELLER, you must specify which currency you wish to use. What happens if you want to send or receive funds in a different currency than your account is associated with? NETELLER will automatically convert the funds in to the destination currency, making sending and receiving different currencies a snap.
Let us know where you are sending money or learn more by visiting sendmoney.neteller.com.
