We’ve partnered with Plaid to make our transfers even easier!
Here at Paysend we want to make it as simple as possible for you to add payment information and send money abroad.
Because let’s face it, nobody likes spending ages entering lots of long card numbers, and entering usernames and passwords when you’re directed to your banking app. We can all agree we’ve got much more interesting things to be getting on with.
Plaid is an open finance platform that helps people connect their bank accounts to digital finance apps and make payments from them. Connecting an account is the first step to using Paysend to credit an account and send money.
Both Paysend and Plaid believe payments should be seamless, and so we decided to join forces!
When adding your bank details in the Paysend app, you’ll be asked to authenticate this in your online banking app. Plaid speeds this up by automatically connecting your bank account to the Paysend app, meaning that you don’t have to enter your username and password to access your account. Once connected, you’ll be able to send money in seconds directly from your account, without searching for card or bank numbers.
Thanks to Plaid, our money transfers are much simpler and faster!
Head to the Paysend app or web platform to experience the power of Plaid and send money now!

If you’re living gluten-free — whether due to coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or simply personal choice — Mexican food might just be your new best friend. Gluten-free Mexican food includes traditional dishes made with corn-based ingredients like corn tortillas (not flour ones), tamales, rice, beans, grilled meats, fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked stews. When made with care and authentic ingredients, many Mexican dishes are naturally gluten-free and packed with bold, vibrant flavour.
Indian food is loved around the world for its bold spices, comforting curries and rich textures. But if you're dairy intolerant or lactose sensitive, some traditional dishes can feel off-limits — especially when ingredients like ghee, cream, yoghurt and paneer take centre stage. Thankfully, dairy-free Indian food is not only possible — it’s delicious. Many popular dishes like chana masala, aloo gobi, dal tadka, vegetable biryani and roti are naturally dairy-free or can easily be adapted. With a few smart swaps, you can enjoy all the flavour of Indian cuisine without the dairy.
If you move away from home, it’s often the little things that stay with you — the comforting smell of spices in a warm kitchen, or the first bite of a dish that reminds you of family and celebration. Food has a way of connecting us to where we come from, even when we’re far away.
For many people living abroad, staying connected means more than just a phone call — it’s the small rituals that bring comfort, like cooking a familiar meal or helping out back home when you can. Whether it’s a recipe passed down through generations or a quick money transfer to support family, those gestures keep us close.
