Users can send money from a credit card, debit card or transfer money to and from a bank account in most OECD countries. Moneybookers is free for sellers with personal accounts. Business accounts are available to qualified applicants and incur acceptance fees.

Unlike many competing online fund transfer services, Moneybookers requires identity verification before using their service; this minimizes fraud and prevents money laundering. Additional verification steps raise the maximum amount transferable to EUR 20,000 or equivalent within a 90-day period. Moneybookers does not usually get involved in merchandise disputes and the availability of credit card chargebacks may be limited.
