UK-based online payment services provider Optimal Payments has upgraded its NETELLER eWallet service.

As a result, the Money Transfers option will now be available to all NETELLER members for free. They can transfer funds in 19 currencies, to anyone in more than 180 countries serviced.

In addition, four more countries, namely Thailand, Serbia, Algeria and Georgia and a new currency have been added to the NETELLER service. The newly introduced currency is the Russian Ruble.

Most recently, Optimal Payments joined forces with Desjardins Card Services, a national provider of merchant payment services, to roll out a customised version of Optimal’s NETBANX gateway services to the latter’s merchants.
