App Overview
Skrill's app is probably the most unique of the apps reviewed by FXcompared, as it can be used for more than transferring money internationally. Skrill is more of a "lifestyle" app, operating as a mobile wallet and even gives users access to popular gaming and gambling sites.
App Specifics
Users must register with Skrill before using the app. Sending money via the app is intuitive, with payments easily made after card information is stored. You can also upload bank account information to transfer directly from your bank account. Skrill conveniently offers the option to create a passcode for the app, which allows users to login with a 5 digit code, rather than their email and password every time they use the app. After reviewing so many apps, FXcompared was happy to have the option of a digital passcode in order to access the app.
