Moneybookers, part of Skrill Holdings, is one of Europe’s largest online payments systems and among the world’s leading eWallet providers with over fifteen million account holders. This simple eWallet enables any customer to make online payments conveniently and securely without revealing personal financial data, as well as send and receive money transfers cost-effectively simply by using an email address. Moneybookers’ worldwide payment network offers businesses access to over 100 payment options in over 200 countries and territories through just one integration.

Since being founded in 2001 and becoming the first emoney issuer to obtain an electronic money licence from the FSA it has taken Skrill Holdings less than a decade to change the world of online payments. In 2007, Investcorp Technology Partners undertook the buyout of Moneybookers from its founders. Today more than 70,000 merchants use Moneybookers’ payments service, including global partners such as eBay.com, Skype and Thomas Cook.

In October 2010, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 league table ranked Moneybookers as the Number 12 fastest growing technology company in the UK. Similarly in February 2010 The Sunday Times Deloitte Buyout Track 100 league table ranked Moneybookers as the Number 1 fastest growing, private equity-backed company in the UK based on profits.
