WebMoney
Transfer Basics
WebMoney is a powerful hardware and software system that
enables Internet users to conduct safe transactions in
real time using
WebMoney units (WM-units). Special software - WM Keeper -
is used to manage the movement of WM-units.
The system offers
several types of WebMoney units and purses for them:
WMR – equivalent of Russian Roubles (R purse),
WMZ - equivalent of US Dollars (Z purse),
WME - equivalent of Euro (E purse),
WMU - equivalent of Ukrainian Hryvnias (U purse),
Also, there are two special types of units, WMC and WMD,
which represent US Dollars in credit transactions.
Purses of the same type should
be used to transfer WM-units (the system does not
allow for transfer of non-matching
types of units into the purses; for example, if you
need to transfer WMR units into a WMZ purse, you will first
have to exchange WMR units for WMZ using one of the
WebMoney exchange options).
Currently,
WMR transactions are underwritten by "WMR" LLC
that represents WebMoney Transfer in Russia. WMZ and
WME transactions are underwritten by the Amstar Holdings
Limited,
S.A. WMU transactions are underwritten by the Ukrainian
Guarantee Agency.
It is easy to join WebMoney Transfer. All you need is to
download a WM Keeper client on your PC and register
with the system by accepting terms of use and receiving a
WM-ID. During the registration you will have to
provide and confirm your personal information.
WebMoney Transfer has verification
system. Each user has the so-called WebMoney passport.
A WebMoney passport is
a digital certificate based on personal data provided
by a WebMoney member.
