ClickandBuy was established in Germany in 2000 for Internet transactions. A decade later, it is now active in Europe, Asia and North America. Its restructuring in 2007 as an affiliate of Intel Capital has made ClickandBuy a strong and growing member of the “electronic wallet” community.

Registration is free, easy and relatively quick. Many of the several thousand participating online merchants are well-known to anyone with a few hours under his belt on a computer. (Microsoft, Skype and iTunes are examples.)

The initial deposit in the ClickandBuy account comes from a linked bank account or any one of the credit cards you choose to add. Additional deposits can be made from the same sources, or deposited there by other ClickandBuy account holders (such as casinos). Customer service is available

The company is regulated both by the UK’s Financial Services Authority and by the German Office for Information Security. All information provided must be kept secret between the company and the customer.

ClickandBuy is a convenient method for funding accounts with casinos, poker rooms or sports books, except for US residents, who are permitted to use ClickandBuy as a payment mechanism for everything except transfers to online gaming businesses.

As is the case with most “electronic wallet” companies, several unhappy customers have posted negative comments about ClickandBuy online. In a case of doubt, it is suggested to contact customer service by their online email form. The hours and days of operation are not on the website, but some third parties have said they are open every day. The telephone number is buried in the site. It is: +49 (0)221 177 38 954.
