Skrill will operate on the understanding that one size does not fit all. It will offer more than just a portfolio of products. There will be methodologies to integrate services or offer fully tailored solutions that will cater to the global stage. All this will be provided with full technical support, proven anti-fraud measures and reliable customer service.

Juian Artope, Moneybookers' head of marketing and public relations, spoke about the re-branding in an interview to eGaming Review. He said, "We felt we needed a new name to better characterize the business, as well as differentiate ourselves in a crowded marketplace and that name is Skrill. It's short, easy-to-use and translates well internationally. Customers and merchants alike have all told us how much they like it during our extensive research and consultation phase." The re-branding is being done under the guidance of the renowned agency The Brand Union, which has worked with the likes of Audi, Vodafone, Barclays, the Premier League and Unilever.
