LONDON (ShareCast) - Directors at Neteller spent a combined total of more than £60,000 on shares in the online payments company today.

President and chief executive Ron Martin bought 50,000 shares and now has 60,000 shares, while chairman Dale Johnson lifted his stake by 16,000 shares to 25,000. Non-executive director Don Lindsay took 20,000 shares, his sole holding in the company. Each paid just over 60p a share.
