Ukash is a cash payment method launched in the United Kingdom, Europe and South Africa for those who wish to shop online but either do not have a bank account/credit card or fear they will be the victim of credit card fraud or identity theft. Ukash is a safe way of shopping, playing and paying online without having to submit private bank details. The secure and unique 19-digit number on the Ukash voucher assures payment when it is presented online.

Cash in amounts up to £500/€750 can be swapped for a Ukash voucher in convenient locations such as corner shops, post offices, news stands, petrol stations and where you see the PayPoint, payzone or e-pay signs in the UK. Ukash vouchers can also be redeemed via mobile phones by Vodafone subscribers in the UK in £10 increments. In Spain, aside from the traditional points of sale, Ukash vouchers for use at Habbo.com can be obtained from Telefónica traditional telephone kiosks across the country. Refunds on Ukash vouchers can be made providing the consumer shows two forms of identification, and this comes with a 6 percent charge on the face value of the voucher.
