    Moneybookers will change name to Skrill

    I just got an email from Moneybookers, they will change name to Skrill in next few months.

    Have they changed company name and what is the key reason for that? I think Moneybookers sounds much better because it is so easy to remember.

    I have been using Moneybookers/Skrill for many years, it is very safe, if you have an online store, you get 0% fraud from Moneybooker.

    The downside is the support from Moneybookers, they do not reply your email, you have to call them directly to solve any issues.

    It's weird, why would they change their name when it's so well known and easy to remember. Skrill sounds like a super crustacean.

    Even I share your opinions. I think moneybookers sound professional, remember-able and much more brand-able than "skrill". But, since they are the people running the company...

    It has been sold, maybe that's the reason ?
    If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
