paysafecard

paysafecard is a well-known prepaid electronic payment method for mainly online shopping e.g. in gaming, social media & communities and music, film & entertainment industries. paysafecard is currently available in more than 30 countries in Europe, Australia, North and South America.

Consumers either purchase a paysafecard which contains a 16-digit PIN from sales outlets or from authorized online PIN shops, or alternatively, create a my paysafecard account defining their personal username and password.

paysafecard PINs can be used multiple times for paying in online shops or for topping up the my paysafecard account.

When using my paysafecard during the payment process in an online shop, there is no need to enter the PIN again, only 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. Thus, the same PIN code can be used multiple times. For larger sums it is possible to combine various paysafecard PINs. Combining PINs also 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. The conversion fee varies depending on the original currency and end currency and it varies from country to country. The currency conversion rates for foreign currencies are always available on the paysafecard web site.
