I used this company's service for almost four years, regularly making transactions. But recently, they closed my account overnight, stating that due to impending sanctions, they could no longer work with me and that this decision had nothing to do with me or my activities.
I'm a Russian citizen, but in 2022, I left Russia and began living in another country (Armenia), using whose documents I opened my Skrill wallet. For the past four years, I withdrew money from my Skrill wallet to my bank account in Armenia. They asked me to confirm my personal information a couple of times, and I provided it, including my Armenian address. But at the beginning of 2026, without explaining the specific reasons, they decided to block my account. When I asked about the reasons, they stated that they would NEVER be able to provide me with services again, EVENif I obtained a residence permit or citizenship in another country.
Discrimination based on nationality wasn't apparently included in any of the sanctions as I know. I could understand if I lived in Russia and asked to withdraw money to Russia, but I proved that I don't live there and have never used a Skrill wallet from Russia. But simply based on, apparently, the place where I was born, this company decided to block my account and tell me that I will NEVER be able to use it again.
It's especially funny that I have about $100 in cryptocurrency left in their wallet, but now I can't even get it back.
I don't recommend it. The company's activities resemble a scam.
