    How we check Skrill

    No evidence of problems with Skrill. Our last recorded check found it behaving normally. That does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

    Every check runs a four-tier cascade and stops at the first tier that gives a clear answer: Skrill's official status feed, then a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP network ping, and finally reports from visitors. The Verification tier box above tells you which one produced the verdict you are looking at. When enough separate people report a problem for it to be well outside what Skrill normally sees, that counts as evidence too, which is how a partial fault can show here before an operator's own status page catches up.

    Skrill (skrill.com) is re-checked continuously, and this page picks up any change on its own, with no refresh needed.

    Common Skrill problems users report

    • Cannot log into your Skrill account or stay logged in
    • Transfers or payments fail or get stuck in pending status
    • Wallet balance does not load or shows incorrect amount
    • Account verification or identity checks are rejected or timing out

    What to do when Skrill is not working

    First check the banner above. If it shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Skrill's side and waiting is usually the only option. If it shows nothing wrong, check that your account is fully verified, your recipient is in your approved list, and your payment method has not expired or been declined by your bank. Contact Skrill support with your transaction reference number if the issue persists after verification.

    About Skrill

    Skrill is a digital wallet and money transfer service that lets users send money, make payments, and manage funds online. When Skrill is down, users cannot send or receive money, access their wallet balance, or complete transactions that depend on the service.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Skrill down right now?

    No. Our checks are finding no problems with Skrill right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Skrill continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

    What usually goes wrong with Skrill?

    The problems visitors report most often on this page are checkout or payment, can't log in, website / app down, can't connect, slow or laggy and 5xx error pages. Those are the options the report button offers for Skrill, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

    Why is Skrill not sending money for me when this page says it is fine?

    Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Skrill specifically, Skrill routes transfers through multiple payment networks and regional processing centers, so a user's bank connection, currency corridor, or verification status can fail independently of Skrill's core platform. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

    How do I tell whether it is Skrill or my own connection?

    For Skrill, log into Skrill on a different device or browser and check if you can view your wallet balance and initiate a small test transfer to a verified recipient. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

    What should I do while Skrill is down?

    If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Skrill's side. Specifically: do not retry transfers repeatedly, as each attempt may queue separately and process when service returns, potentially duplicating the transaction. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

    How does status.buzz check Skrill?

    Continuously, around the clock. Skrill does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe skrill.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Skrill says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

    Does Skrill have an official status page?

    Yes, at status.paysafe.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Skrill's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

    Is status.buzz affiliated with Skrill?

    No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Skrill or skrill.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Skrill's own support, not us.
