I am planning to join microworkers because I always hear so many good things about this site. One of the requirements is to create an AlertPay or Moneybookers account. I already have a UnionBank debit card. I am from the Philippines. Which is better? Thank you!

i work for microworkers and i use moneybokers (now skril). it is very good because using manual verification, even soome people say that wya is very bad becase taking long time to get the addres. i have once waithdraw my money from moneybookers to my local bank account and it worked. it charges me 2,34 dollar per transfer to my local bank in indonesia

Does it mean to say AlertPay does not require manual verification, macanan? I was thinking it's microworkers who will be sending the pin, and we'll activate our microworkers account through that pin. I thought AlertPay and Moneybookers are for payment alone like PayPal.

moneybookera dn microworkers are different institutions. microworkers uses manual verifications by sending pin to my home, and so does moneybookers. so, i got two letters of pin, one from microworkers and one from moneybookers. it takes 3-4 weeks to reach my home

I thing alert pay is better payment processor than money bookers, but now a day their is some problem is going on alert pay payment processor like VISA and Mastero Credit card not working their, but you have just withdrawn your amount from microworkers through alert pay which fees is higher and also now a day alert pay has also stop sending cheque to the address of payee which is less costly than bank wire, so my opinion you may go through moneybookers.

Thank you very much, aman1981! Based on what I read, Moneybookers is better, so I'll try using it.

I am from India and working at microworkers. I am getting an average of 10 Dollars monthly from microworkers. My payment processor is alertpay. But in alertpay there is no bank transfer to India. The withdrawing method is wire transfer and their fee for that is $15. So I am not using the alertpay money for funding on purchases from the online. I am not registered with money bookers and thinking to do so.

Hello, josechukkiri! That's too much. I can't pay $15. Thank you for that information. I am now considering Moneybookers.

I think alertpay, though alertpay has some problems about their partners but for eastern countries alertpay is the most acceptable and most in use than moneybookers

Hello, dlfhr04! Have you already used AlertPay?

Personally, AlertPay. It's more customizable, and a lot easier to use.
