eNETS

Online banking has revolutionised the way that online gamers are able to deposit funds into their casino accounts, and many of the online banking options have now been customised to suit specific countries, or a group of specific countries. This tailors to such players on a stronger basis, as bank services does tend to vary from country to country. One such company which offers its services to a specific location is eNETS, and this company is based in Singapore. Of course, it caters to the residents of this particular country as well, offering up optimised electronic money transfers as part of a service stemming from the company NETs.

The business as a whole was established back in 1985, and it became their mission at the time to make such money transfers as simple and pain free as possible. The online version of their banking came about in the year of 2001, and since that time, the frequency and build up of customers using the service has seen it allegedly process over S$1.3 billion of funds every year. This means that it’s the most widely used online payment system within Singapore. The company of NETS is owned by some of the country’s largest banks, those being DBS Bank, OCBC Bank and United Overseas Bank (UOB). Not only that, but the company is a member of the Asian Payment Network and a council member of UnionPay International.

Neosurf

There are a vast selection of online payment methods available to casino players today, although not a great deal of them centre around prepaid cards. Neosurf, on the other hand, does provide such a service, which is directed towards French customers in the first instance, although has been spread out to cater to various different countries over the years. These include Spain, Greece, Germany and Italy. The service has come a long way since its introduction to the world, as it originally only started out being available in six different locations, although now spans across multiple countries and continents.

Beginning life back in 2005, Neosurf was originally the only online payment system offered to French-speaking gamers, and as such, its website was only able to be viewed in French. Now, with such an extensive range of people to cater to, the product has reached new heights. And while it may not be as big as some other payment methods in the same vein, it’s still a highly used product in France and French-speaking countries, such as Belgium, Cameroon and Senegal. The fact that it offers up a prepaid card provides you with a certain level of control over the amount you spend on gambling, as well as a much more secure method of depositing your funds into a casino account than a standard credit or debit card does.

Moneta

Many online game players tend to stray away from using credit or debit cards to fund their accounts with due to the fact that they’re deemed less secure than other methods. And while bank wire transfers provide a generally safer option, they also take a lot longer to fully complete, meaning that you need to wait several days before you can play your favourite games. This is why eWallets have become a much more popular depositing method today, as they offer a quick and safe transfer of funds from one location to another. Moneta, which is also known as Moneta.ru, is a Russian online payment and money transfer service, which offers its services to said country. It provides an eWallet in which users are able to upload funds from a variety of locations, in order to then spend it elsewhere.

This brings safety and reliability to the service, which offers up a simple and fast transfer of funds from one location to another. While it originally started out as a depositing method to be used solely for online gaming and gambling sites, it has since evolved to incorporate web merchants, online service providers and internet entrepreneurs. This includes the ability to pay utility bills, mobile communications and internet service providers.

InstaDebit

There has been an upsurge in online gamers looking to fund their accounts with alternative options over the recent years, and as such, numerous different methods have been introduced.

Working alongside these is a payment method known as InstaDebit, which is able to provide a platform that customers can use to make online payments directly from their bank account to the account of their favourite casino platform. While many of these options are very country specific, this one is accepted and offered in around 30 different countries, and as the official website states, “InstaDebit is like paying with a cheque online, only easier!”.

The service was launched back in April of 2003, and it is originally of Canadian origin. In the beginning, it was widely used by both Canadian and US online gamers, although today, the product is owned by InstaDebit International Solutions Ltd.

Online banking methods are becoming more and more utilised when it comes to depositing funds into a casino account, and when it comes to iDEAL, many Dutch players will recognise it and prefer it over any other funding method. Originally, it was only available to players from Belgium and the Netherlands. However, as time has gone by, the company has expanded across Europe to include many other countries within the continent. It’s definitely one of the more frequently seen payment methods available at online casinos, and its popularity comes from the fact that it’s quick, and safe and secure. When you pay with iDEAL, you simply use online banking from one of the participating banks, and your payment will take just a few steps.

This is an organisation which was created by eight of the major Dutch banks, and this company also operates a few other financial services and products, many of which have become household names within said countries. The idea behind the establishment of the iDEAL product was to bring more transparency and market-directed functionality into the Dutch online payment systems. Over the years, it has certainly won the favour of residents of such locations, becoming one of the most popular payment options available today.

It’s also become a much more utilised method of depositing funds into an online casino account, providing users with a fast and easy service that they’re already familiar with.

One such online banking service is that provided by Nordea, or as it’s sometimes referred to as, Nordea Bank AB.

On the whole, it is able to offer its clients a wide range of financial products, including credit and debit cards, corporate or private bank accounts, pension management and investment banking, amongst others.
