Webmoney supports multiple currencies and cryptocurrencies, each held in their own specific purse. The major purse types include:
Low.
There are multiple types of transfers available. The direct transfer method is instant and irrevocable.
There are also two types of protected transfer. Money sent via a code protected transfer is frozen until the receiver inputs a code they must get from the sender. Money sent via time protected transfer is frozen for a certain amount of time as set by the sender, during which time the transfer can be challenged via the arbitration system. Once the transaction completes with funds unfrozen, it is irrevocable.
However, as receivers can choose to only accept direct transfers, the chargeback risk is non-existent.
