The Skrill Send Direct service was introduced in February this year to enable customers make money transfers directly to the beneficiary’s bank account or other payment platforms in 40 different currencies.

According to World Bank estimates, the global remittance market, which reached $582.4bn in 2016, is expected to grow by 3% to 4% annually in 2017 and 2018.

Skrill Send Direct aims to utilise this opportunity and enable people living overseas to send money back home securely at a lower cost compared to conventional bank transfer services.
