The End of MoneyBookers.
 

It looks like they are changing their name to 'Skrill".

You know that Moneybookers has never been a company to stand still, always evolving our solutions to better meet your needs and expectations.

Our next evolution is to rebrand as Skrill, the first step towards offering you massively enhanced payment facilities to attract and convert even more customers. Skrill is going to better represent what we are and what we will become, as well as differentiate ourselves in a crowded marketplace.

Skrill was an informal term for money. But we - and you - are going to make it more than that. In the same way you 'google' something or 'skype' your friends, people will soon 'Skrill' money.

Skrill means a safe and innovative way for consumers to pay for their online goods. Skrill means choice. Skrill means flexibility. Skrill means reliability and peace of mind. Skrill makes you online safe.

So what happens next?

For now, it won't affect you at all. You can see the initial website at www.skrill.com and an introduction has been added to www.moneybookers.com.

You will not need to make any technical changes at the minute and your key contacts at Moneybookers will remain the same. At some point within the next nine to twelve months, we?ll be asking you to update gateways with a new logo but we will be sure to contact you with lots of notice and to make this as straightforward as possible. If you'd like to be first in line to receive these, get in touch with your account manager, or merchant services.

Skrill will be better for you and your customers, offering payment options with more choice, greater flexibility and peace of mind.

We?d like to thank all our merchant partners who helped inform our new choice of name. Their input was both invaluable and appreciated, helping positively evaluate the name Skrill in a commercial context.

Interesting find.

That's a pretty bizarre move. I wonder whose idea it was to piss away years of branding?

mb lasted longer than epass, but the second was much better

Skrill sounds like a soapy pad to clean oven.... I don't like it unless they are handing out free samples.

don't care .....

Wonder if they're going to Skrill their members like Epass.

Seriously, maybe even a worse name than Cuil. :(

What a stupid branding decision.

And it sounds immature and ghetto -- not like someone I want to trust my money to. :2 cents:

Lol great move by using word for which probably most of people never heard.

unfortunate sounding name, wtf were they thinking ?:Oh crap

You have been Skrilled

I agree...

Do I clean my oven or floor with that name? :)

still the same as before tho just a new name

They would of been better off with a better name....

Isn't skrill ghetto slang for cash? What a dumb move.

Not only dumb, but spelled wrong....It's skrill'A' not skrill.

Thats often done when they are hiding something..

Not the first time its been done around here.

skrill... doesn't sound reliable to me....

skrilla dogg

terrible new name :1orglaugh

No kidding.

I thought they didn't do adult so why bother to tell us?

Better than naming yourself after a movie gangster but it is still a horrendous name

Not exactly a brilliant marketing move.

wow, really... Skrill? Sounds like something I pulled out of the lake last Sunday.

Just for you to complain.



:winkwink:

Wow...what a horrible name, who's bright idea was this? Skrill? That sounds like a monster from a horror movie or a really bad STD

paid for my new gold grill with my moneybookers skrill.

moneybookers was great name, lots of brand, wtf is this now?
