Get Verified MoneyBookers Account in Pakistan

A person working as a freelancer from home in Pakistan, needs a solid payment processor to handle is client payments. As we know that PayPal is not allowed in Pakistan, MoneyBookers is an awesome alternative. But to avail the full privileges of a merchant account one should have a verified account with MoneyBookers. Many people in Pakistan do not know how to have their account verified. Here we will try to explain the procedure to get your account verified from MoneyBookers.
First of all you will need to sign up for an ordinary account at moneybookers.com, once you get your account activated by clicking the link in the email you are all set to go.
You will need two things to get your account verified.

1. A scan of your ID (This can be your passport or an English translation of NIC).
2. A bank Account with any bank in Pakistan.

Now you will need to send them the scan of your ID by email. Send it through the email with which you registered the account at MoneyBookers.
Then add your bank account information to MoneyBookers. You can do so by logging into your account and adding this information under bank account status. Then withdraw some funds for verification. MoneyBookers will send a small amount ranging from $10 – $15 to your account with a code in it. When the money gets credited in your account, call your bank and ask for that code in the money transaction. It will be in the information of the transaction.
Once you have that number login to your MoneyBookers account and add it to your account.  Your account will be verified and so will be your bank account.  In most cases the bank miss the code number due to internal reasons. In that case you can get a print of your bank statement after you have received the payment from MoneyBookers, get it scanned and send it to moneybookers help desk. They will verify your account based upon that bank statement.
Now you can easily receive funds and withdraw them to your account.
If you want to accept credit card payments you will need to have a merchant account with MoneyBookers. I will try to paste a tutorial on getting a merchant account soon. So come back later. Hope that this information will help you in having a verified account with MoneyBookers.
