What is Neteller?
Neteller is particularly popular among online bettors, thanks to its history. Previously, most
online bookmakers offered Neteller as the sole payment method. What is Neteller, then?
An e-wallet, but not only that, Neteller also offers other services such as
Net+. Net+ functions almost identically to a regular payment card linked to a bank account, except that it is connected to your e-wallet. The e-wallet itself then provides options for secure online payments at merchants, quick sending of funds to other users in various currencies simply by entering the recipient’s email address, withdrawals from ATMs, buying cryptocurrencies, trading on the stock exchange, and lastly the ability to use prepaid cards.
History of Neteller
Neteller was established in 1999 in Canada. In 2004, the company moved to the Isle of Man in the British Isles, and in the same year, it was listed on the stock exchange in London. Two years later, the service became the largest e-wallet in the world, processing an average of over $7 billion in transactions annually. Recently, the company has focused on expanding its services and entering new markets (today it operates in more than 200 countries). One of the new services is, for example, the Neteller Knect loyalty program, which the company launched in 2021. Neteller Knect allows users to collect points for each transaction made and then exchange them for various rewards. Among the main competitors of Neteller were the e-wallet Skrill, which offers very similar services. Today, however, there is no longer any competition, as
both companies belong to the Paysafe Group, and both services are interconnected. Skrill has thus become more of an older brother to Neteller.
Who owns Neteller?
Just like the payment methods
Paysafecard, Skrill, and Paysafecash, Neteller is
owned by Paysafe Group, a global provider of online payment solutions. Paysafe Group specializes in providing secure and reliable payment options to make them as affordable as possible for its customers. The company has been on the market for over 20 years.

Security of Neteller
The method of payment using an e-wallet is considered one of the safest payment options on the internet, mainly because you do not share your sensitive bank details with merchants and thus do not have to worry about your finances on your bank account. With the growing popularity of e-wallets, there has also been an increase in interest from scammers in this payment method, so always be cautious and do not share your login details with anyone. And how is the security of the Neteller e-wallet itself? Neteller is among the most used, oldest, and best-known brands in the e-finance market. Such a position would certainly not have been reached without security, therefore Neteller invests a large amount of money in securing users and their financial resources. The company uses the latest security technologies to protect users and their financial resources, such as
SSL encryption. Neteller also has
PCI DSS certification – Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, which guarantees that the company meets all security rules for processing payment cards. For even greater security of your funds, we recommend setting up
two-factor authentication. Neteller is subject to British and European law. Frequent checks are carried out by the
British FSA (Financial Services Authority). These checks bring security guarantees, but also minor inconveniences in the form of multiple identity verifications. With Neteller, you can be sure that your finances are safe.

Rating
Overall, it can be said that Neteller is a useful payment method especially for those who want to simplify their online transactions and at the same time do not mind paying extra for possibly the safest online payments. However, it is important to always be vigilant and follow safety measures to minimize the risk of fraud and misuse of the account. Neteller offers many benefits for its users – VIP program, various gifts after collecting points for transactions made or the Neteller payment card Net+, which is linked directly to your account and can be used to withdraw cash from all ATMs around the world. Neteller is often compared to the e-wallet Skrill one of the differences, which may play a significant role, especially for those of you who do not speak English, is that Skrill provides pages with full support in the Czech language. We rate Neteller rather positively. Although it is an e-wallet that has seen its best days, it still has much to offer and certainly does not yet belong in the scrap heap. If you speak English and are looking for a safe and reliable service for electronic money transfers, Neteller is the right choice.
