What is Electronic Money?
Electronic Money (E-Money) is money that cannot be touched or held but can be transacted online. It is borderless which means that you can actually pay or receive e-money from someone on the other side of the world, all through your computer. Payments are made in real time and the money is transacted online instantly. E-money also allows small transfers starting from 1 cent! Obviously e-money can be changed into real paper money any time the owner decides to.
The payment systems are safe and nearly impossible to forge, however it is advised to install some security on your computer to ensure that you don’t have any viruses or any other keyboard spies. Check out our software section for free computer protection downloads.
E-Money is possible through a variety of methods. Below is a set of payment systems and processors that will help you get started. Signup is free.
