What are the hours and when should I call?
Skrill operates the call center for this 855-719-2087 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Monday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 923 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Skrill call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Skrill phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Skrill staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Skrill is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 68% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 923 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Monday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday, which is 1205% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call Skrill is Monday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Skrill staffs up on Monday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
I recently learned about the Skrill prepaid card from Visa and wanting to know more about how the card works, I called Skrill's customer service for assistance. The automated system put me on hold to look up my account based on my phone number but since I have no account I was given more menu options. After selecting 1 for English, the system asked if wanted to enter my customer ID to receive faster service or stay on the line for the next available agent. Since I have no current account with Skrill, I opted to be placed on hold and was told to press 2 to continue.
The automated system next offered me a few options for assistance including help with account inquiries, security issues or payment questions. None of these addressed what I was seeking so I tried selecting 0 for an operator/agent but that was invalid. The menu options were repeated and I decided on account inquiries as the best choice.
I was greeted with some peppy jazz music while waiting and was told my call may be recorded for quality purposes. The hold time was around five minutes before I was connected to an agent, who asked how I could be helped. I shared how I was interested in knowing more about the Skrill prepaid card, how it works and how to apply for one for myself and potentially my teenager. The agent was more than happy to explain the process, sharing that a Skrill Visa prepaid card is just like a debit card and can be used at any retailer or business online or in person wherever Visa is accepted.
Customers are required to deposit funds into their Skrill Digital Wallet which then allows them to make purchases at any time based upon the funds available. The agent said the card can also be used at ATM machines around the world, though some extra fees may be applied depending on the bank. Customers are only able to withdraw and/or spend funds that are pre-loaded and deposited into their Skill accounts, unlike a credit card that may have a more open-ended limit.
This sounded like a good option to help my teenager begin to spend money wisely so I asked the agent how he could apply. I was then directed to Skrill's website to first set up an account online, followed by completing the application. After the application has been completed, the agent said the processing and card delivery take up to 10 business days. Customers activate the card the same way they would any credit or debit card and then can begin depositing funds.
After such a helpful conversation, I thanked the agent for her time and headed to the website to begin the process. I highly recommend reaching out to Skrill Visa via phone for any customer concerns and questions as the reps are very knowledgeable and patient.
