Skrill

A followup as to what happened locally. Presented the false charges from Skrill to my bank - the Huntington National Bank (Columbus) and were on it like pit bulls. They took care of the ALL the false charges, no problems to my account. One of many reasons, they have had my money for nearly 30 years. Always feel 'Welcome'. They'll be getting atta-boys on here so the 5 starts are not for Skrill.

I've been using Skrill for several months to transfer money to my parents in India and have generally been satisfied with the service—until recently. My last transaction has been stuck in processing for over 7 days, and I've received no clear update from Skrill. After six days, Skrill requested my father's name, further stating "If not provided, the banking partner has the right to discontinue processing my payment". They did not provide any valid reason why this personal information was necessary. When I asked for clarification, their response was dismissive and unhelpful, simply stating that I was obligated to comply due to their terms and conditions. This is not only an invasion of privacy, but also a deeply concerning lack of transparency from Skrill. As a customer, I have the right to know why such sensitive information is requested and how it will be used. All my relevant personal details—my current address, email ID, and phone number—are already recorded in their system, which should be more than sufficient to process the transaction. This kind of request without clear explanation is unacceptable. To make matters worse, when I sought further clarification, I was told that "your case has been escalated and will take several days to review", further delaying my transaction. This has caused unnecessary stress, as the delay directly impacts my parents, who rely on this money for bills and other expenses. Skrill's lack of transparency and slow resolution process is extremely disappointing and unacceptable. This lack of communication and unclear demands for personal information should raise red flags.
