I never heard about this annual verification from Moneybookers. Before I got VIP status I had only an outgoing transaction limit of about 50000 Euro in any 90 day period. Maybe this is a special verification only for canadian citizens.

Moneybookers also offers this verification method but probably only in those countries where they offer local wire transfers (for canadian only Swift is available).

This is not necessarily the case with Moneybookers.

For me the internal messaging service from Moneybookers always worked fine. I have made some bad experiences with the Neteller support, sometimes they not even answer. Maybe the the Moneybookers non-VIP support is a little bit slow but at least they always respond.

Neteller has some nice features like the Net+ Cards, but overall I like Moneybookers more because of better support and much lower fees (or no fees for VIPs).
