WebMoney transactions can not be reversed why they are favored by Binary Options Brokers as a transaction tool. Let us have a look at WebMoney.

Money which is received or sent through a WebMoney account is known as “WM Units". Although it is free to receive money, sending WM units to other accounts will incur a little transaction fee.
