Now Skype users have more options too. Customers can purchase Skype Credit at participating Western Union® Agent locations and use it toward calling mobiles and landlines worldwide. As part of our mission to create even more moments of togetherness, anyone who refills their Skype Credit at a participating Western Union Agent location from April 1, 2015 to November 1, 2015 will receive a voucher for an extra $3 in Skype Credit. Voucher expires November 30, 2015.
“We want to give consumers options. The absence of a bank account shouldn’t limit anyone’s ability to make purchases or use digital services,” said Odilon Almeida, President, Americas and European Union at Western Union.
“Western Union moves money across borders in multiple currencies serving a broad base of customers. Today, Skype has over 300 million active users. Many are possibly Western Union Money Transfer® customers. Our analysis shows that one in three money transfer customers are currently using Internet platforms such as Skype to communicate with family and friends.”
