Some years ago, Neteller was my top favourite e-wallet provider, but when Paysafe took it over, Neteller became more expensive to use! Skrill, on the other hand, was also taken over by Paysafe, but was managed in a slightly different way, by a different management team. But all these are nothing new to gamblers, most of whom had, at one time or another, used either Neteller or Skrill for their deposits, withdrawals and bank wire transfers. So what's new, you may be asking? Bank wire transfers, as we all know it, would take a much longer time for the money transfer to be completed. Previously, taking 10 business days was the norm. Not too long ago, the standard has improved to 5 business days, cutting the time by half. Nowadays, bank wire transfers are usually completed within 1 to 3 business days, although the transfer notification may still indicate 'up to 5 business days'. For me, my bank wire transfers via Skrill would only take 24 hours or less. Taking 2 days may still occur, but are quite seldom so far this year. Now for the best part...3 days ago, I made a wire transfer from Skrill to my local bank account, as usual, and in the usual normal manner too, but guess what? I received an email notification from my bank that money has been credited into my account...not 24 hours later, but not even 3 minutes later!!! This was the FASTEST bank wire transfer I've ever had from Skrill...and it must be a NEW RECORD for any continent-to-continent bank wire transfer speed! WELL DONE SKRILL! Hope this speed can become your new standard time for wire transfers and leave all other e-wallets providers far behind!
