The verdict
Using a Neteller account or one of its prepaid cards means you won’t have to hand over your bank card details every time you make an online purchase, increasing your overall security when spending online.
However, be aware that Neteller is not a bank, nor does it provide banking services. Many complaints have been made around loss of funds, the verification process and the fees associated with the service. Make sure you read up on all the fees involved so you don’t get any costly shocks later on.
