List of casinos that support Multibanco transactions
Multibanco will be instantly recognizable to gamers hailing from, or living, Portugal, although it will likely be completely foreign to those not from the country. The system broadly refers to a network comprised of nearly 30 Portuguese banks. In 2006, the network had over 11,200 ATMs. In the mid 2000s, the system recorded over 630 million transactions per year. It is operated by Sociedade Interbancaria de Servicos S.A. and encompasses a number of services, including an automatic payment system, a phone service, via verde, and the service that is most relevant to online gaming: MB Net.
Multibanco payments at online casinos
Signing up for MB Net appears to be a rather straightforward procedure. Begin by logging into your MB account and then entering all the information necessary to create a virtual credit card at the MB NET site. At this point, you must decide whether you prefer a one-time-use card or one that can be used multiple times. Note that all virtual cards are valid from anywhere from one month to twelve and that they may be issued as American Express, Visa, or Mastercard virtual cards. Potential users should also bear in mind that they must register their card at either a Multibanco ATM or their banking homepage before putting it to use. Once registered, it can be used safely and securely as any online credit card.
Like the other country or region-specific payment methods, Multibanco is likely a great option for those who already have access to it in Portugal, and an inefficient choice for those outside of the country who would have to take the “pre” steps of opening a Portuguese bank account.
