How WebMoney works
For availing the use of WebMoney, every user has to first download a Client Interface. After that he can register, subject to verification of the account. On acceptance, he/she is issued a WM passport, which is an online document containing verified personal data of the account holder. Every WM users online transactions are evaluated and points allocated, based on the feedback of other users. Those who get high points are given Business Level status, and may be considered as a Confidence Index which is displayed near the WMID. WebMoney caters to various types of e-currency, and each currency has an electronic wallet called a purse which is as follows:
- WMR - ( R-Purse) for the Russian rouble
- WMZ - (Z-Purse) for the US dollar
- WMB - (B-Purse) for the Belorussian rouble
