How Skrill's quote can flatter or disappoint
Skrill can make sense when the money is meant to remain in Skrill or pay a merchant that accepts it. That is different from sending pounds to a foreign bank account.
Currency conversion, funding and withdrawal can each have their own price. The cheapest-looking step may therefore sit inside a more expensive end-to-end path.
Our review gives priority to the amount that reaches the final recipient account. If that amount cannot be reproduced publicly, Skrill remains listed without an invented rate.
Customer feedback
What customers report about Skrill
Skrill Money Transfer has its own review profile, separate from the broader Skrill wallet. The customer accounts read included praise for a simple sending process and quick international payments. A negative reviewer described waiting for verification and an unanswered request for an update. Another complaint concerned currency conversion and withdrawals from a Skrill account, which appears to involve the wallet rather than the transfer product. Even this more relevant profile needs careful reading: a shared brand can attract complaints about different services.
The linked profile covers the money-transfer service. Experiences may concern different routes, amounts and payout methods.
Any customer score shown belongs to the source platform and is separate from our editorial rating. Public reviews are self-selected reports, not a representative customer survey; we have not independently verified each reported experience.
What customers value
- Customers described a simple app and straightforward sending process.
- Reviewers reported quick completion of international payments.
What to check before sending
- A reviewer described verification taking longer than the time they expected.
- The same reviewer reported difficulty getting an update about access to funds.
What this means for your comparison
Make sure you are comparing Skrill Money Transfer with another transfer service, rather than comparing wallet withdrawal charges with a remittance quote. Check the funding method, exchange rate and recipient amount in the actual flow. The positive delivery accounts are useful context, but they do not establish a guaranteed time for your destination or a completed verification check.
Transfer-specific profile, though some posts concern wallet activity. Those wallet fee allegations are excluded from our transfer pricing assessment. Selected reviews only.

The latest Skrill figures we can reproduce
Each row is the newest matching record returned within the rolling 36-hour window. The receipt shows the provider screen or calculation behind it, including the time we saw it. This window can include the previous UTC day.
Skrill remains here because UK customers will still encounter it. A rate will appear only when the amount and payment method can be recorded with a time and receipt.

Money-transfer service profile
Read the customer-feedback assessment - PayPal
PayPal's profile covers a global payment platform, with many reviews about shopping, disputes and cards. A positive customer account described recovering a purchase payment after submitting evidence and receiving the refund without further chasing. Negative accounts described repeated attempts to approve a purchase, difficulty contacting useful support and dissatisfaction with dispute outcomes. None of those experiences measures the exchange rate or delivery speed of a UK personal transfer. We keep this evidence separate from Xoom and from any claim about protection for money sent to friends.

What to price beside Skrill
PayPal solves a familiar-account problem, particularly for merchants. Its currency conversion can be expensive, and moving the balance into a bank account may add another step after the apparent transfer is finished.
Read the PayPal rate review →Wise remains the cleanest yardstick for an ordinary bank transfer. It uses the mid-market rate and places its charge in view, so there is less detective work between the advertised rate and the amount delivered.
Read the Wise rate review →Revolut can be very good value for an existing customer exchanging within the plan allowance. Go beyond that allowance, or exchange at the weekend, and the apparently simple price develops rather more moving parts.
