More than 130 million Europeans currently lack sufficient access to financial services to be able to participate in the digital marketplace. From now on, customers without a credit card or digital banking services, or those who simply don’t want to enter their financial data online for security reasons, can pay for their YouTube Premium service using paysafecard.

paysafecard can be purchased via a network of over 650,000 sales outlets around the world which spans across the countries where paysafecard is now available as a payment method for YouTube Premium. Outlets include leading petrol station chains, supermarkets, lottery retailers and kiosks.
