PaysafeCard (until 2024 stylized paysafecard) is a prepaid e-commerce payment solution powered by vouchers. It is part of Paysafe, a global payments platform. PaysafeCard allows customers to pay online without providing personal financial information.
Users can purchase vouchers online or at local sales outlets and redeem them at the checkout of the respective website. As of 2024, PaysafeCard is available in approximately 50 countries, with the scope of services and partner online stores varying by country. In most countries, a personal account called myPaysafe is available for uploading codes and managing balances.
PaysafeCard was founded in Austria in 2000. Two former competitors, Dutch Wallie and British Ukash, were acquired by PaysafeCard. In 2013, it was acquired by the digital wallet provider Skrill. In 2015 the Skrill Group was acquired by the Optimal Payments Group, a global online payment processing provider regulated in the United Kingdom. Optimal Payments subsequently rebranded as Paysafe. PaysafeCard continued to be a subsidiary brand of the Paysafe Group in its own right, alongside others like the digital wallets Skrill and Neteller.
