When working online as a freelancer or completing micro-tasks on platforms like Toloka AI, having multiple secure payment options is essential. While Payoneer is great for large freelancing platforms, Skrill is another fantastic international e-wallet that is widely accepted across various online earning websites.
The best part about Skrill for Pakistanis? You can withdraw your dollars directly into your JazzCash or EasyPaisa mobile wallets! In this comprehensive guide, we will show you how to create and fully verify a Skrill account in Pakistan.
Why Choose Skrill for Online Earning?
Skrill is highly preferred by digital workers because of its speed and accessibility:
- Easy Mobile Withdrawals: You can send your USD balance straight to EasyPaisa or JazzCash.
- Low Fees: It offers reasonable conversion rates and low transaction fees for local withdrawals.
- Global Acceptance: It is a major payment partner for dozens of micro-tasking and freelancing sites.
Step-by-Step: How to Create a Skrill Account
1. Visit the Website or Download the App
Go to the official Skrill website or download the “Skrill – Pay & Transfer Money” app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Click on the “Register” button.
2. Fill in Your Personal Information
Enter your real details exactly as they appear on your CNIC (National Identity Card) or Passport:
- First Name and Last Name
- Country (Select Pakistan)
- Currency (It is highly recommended to select USD – United States Dollar as your primary currency)
3. Set Up Your Credentials
Provide a valid, secure email address and create a strong password (minimum 8 characters with at least one letter and one number/special character). Click “Register.”
4. Secure Your Account
Skrill will ask you to set up a 6-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number). This PIN will be required every time you log in or make a transaction, so keep it safe and memorable. You will also need to verify your phone number via an SMS OTP (One-Time Password).
How to Fully Verify Your Skrill Account
To unlock higher transaction limits and ensure your funds are completely safe, you must verify your identity.
Note: Skrill requires a small initial deposit (as low as $1 to $5) or a received payment into your wallet before the full “Verification” tab becomes active.
Once active, go to Settings > Verification and complete these two steps:
- Verify Identity (ID Verification): Upload a clear, high-resolution photo of the front and back of your English Smart CNIC, Passport, or Driving License. You will also be asked to take a quick selfie through your phone’s camera to match your ID.
- Verify Address (Location Verification): Upload an official document issued within the last 3 months that clearly shows your name and residential address. Acceptable documents include a bank statement, electricity/gas bill, or a postpaid mobile bill.
How to Withdraw Money from Skrill to EasyPaisa / JazzCash
Once your account is active and you have funds in it, transferring money to your mobile wallet is incredibly easy:
- Log into your Skrill account and click on “Withdraw”.
- Select “Mobile Wallet” from the options.
- Click on “Add Mobile Wallet”, select either JazzCash or EasyPaisa, and enter your active mobile account number.
- Enter the amount you want to withdraw in USD. The app will automatically show you the current PKR exchange rate and the processing fee.
- Review the details, enter your 6-digit Skrill PIN, and confirm. The money will arrive in your local mobile account within a few minutes!
