Paysafecard

Paysafecard

Paysafecard is a payment method for mainly online shopping. When using my paysafecard during the payment process in an online shop, there is no need to enter the PIN again, only a username and password are required.

When paying with paysafecard, the consumer enters the 16 digit number and the amount tendered is deducted from the paysafecard balance. Combining PINs allows consumers to use up any remaining credit on a paysafecard PIN. The current balance of each paysafecard as well as its transaction history and production date can be viewed at the official paysafecard site by entering the respective 16 PIN code.

Payments for goods or services other than Euros are converted into Euros at the conversion rate at the time of purchase.
