NETELLER launches Ukash in 9 countries
Posted by Today’s post was written by Suzanne. She is the Marketing Program Manager for member communications and promotions on our Brand and Group Marketing team and she’s got some exciting stuff brewing for November so stay tuned.
For years NETELLER members residing in Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom have been instantly depositing into their NETELLER accounts using Ukash. Today we have expanded our offering of this great deposit option to more countries. Members in the following countries can now instantly and conveniently deposit using Ukash:
- Austria
- Belgium
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Italy
- Netherlands
- Portugal
- Greece
Depositing with Ukash is simple. Follow these steps and you’ll have instant access to your funds:
Step 1: Purchase a Ukash voucher
Ukash offers a number of ways to purchase vouchers. Click here to choose your preferred method.
Step 2: Sign in to your account
Step 3: Choose Ukash as your deposit method
Under the deposit tab in your account select “Ukash,” then select “Continue”.
Step 4: Enter the amount of your deposit
Important: An 8% processing fee will be applied to your deposit amount so be sure to take this into account if you are cashing the entire balance of your Ukash voucher. For example, if you purchase a Ukash voucher in the amount of 100 GBP, you will enter 92.59 GBP in the “Amount” field. A 7.41 GBP processing fee will be added to your deposit — your final deposit will therefore total 100 GBP. If you choose to deposit only a portion of your voucher value you will receive a new voucher in the amount of the remaining balance in an email addressed from NETBANX.
Step 5: Confirm your deposit
The amount you enter in the “Total withdrawal from Ukash” field should not exceed the value of your Ukash voucher. If it does exceed the value, select “Change Details” and re-enter the proper amount.
Step 6: Enter your Ukash voucher details
Enter the following details and select the “Pay Now” button:
- Email address
- Voucher number
- Voucher value
You’ve just completed the deposit process and the funds are in your account. Now you’re free to securely and privately spend anywhere online.

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.

Secure online payment services with an eWallet
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 first in a series of posts where Lea will be talking about the benefits of using a NETELLER eWallet.
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.

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.
