About paysafecard

General information about paysafecard

Paysafecard is a prepaid card that consumers buy in shops in order to subsequently shop online. Since this is a prepaid means of payment, this system is free from chargebacks. In addition it offers merchants a payment guarantee.

Paysafecard is widespread in the gaming, gambling and adult content sectors. The previous Wallie-card has now been adopted into the paysafecard system. You can tap into additional target groups with this prepaid system:

  • customers who do not want to disclose personal data such as bank account or credit card number
  • young people who are denied access to classic payment systems such as credit cards
  • customers who do not obtain a credit card from their bank
  • as well as customers who prefer to pay with paysafecard

The prepaid system is international: the paysafecard Group operates in 27 countries in Europe as well as in North and Latin America and processes around 20 million prepaid payments annually.

 

paysafecard is a prepaid card which is a widespread micropayment method for gaming, gambling and adult-content.
