Paysend Referral QR code: a new way to share your invite
The Paysend Referral QR code is a personalised code, generated from your referral link, that friends can scan to open your invite and join Paysend. You can find, share or save it as an image in seconds — all from the Invite friends screen in the app.
What is the Referral QR code?
The Referral QR code turns your usual referral link into a scannable image you can share anywhere. Each code is personal to you and links back to your own referral invite, so your referrals are always credited.
Your QR code image includes:
- Your first name
- Your personal QR code
- Simple scan instructions
- Your referral link
How to find and share your QR code
- Open Invite friends in the Paysend app.
- Tap the QR code icon in the top right.
- Share your QR code straight away, or save it as an image to send later.
- Your friend scans the code, your invite link opens, and they can join Paysend.
Your referral link is also included in the image as text, so most phones can recognise and open it directly — even from a saved picture or screenshot.
Where to use your Referral QR code
A QR code is handy whenever sharing a link isn't easy:
- In person — let a friend scan your code on the spot.
- In group chats — share your QR image so friends can scan and join in a tap.
- On social apps — post an image that's simple to scan and join from.
Frequently asked questions
Does my QR code still track my referral?
Yes. Your QR code links back to your personal referral link, so anyone who joins by scanning it is credited to you — just like sharing your link directly.
Can I save my QR code to share later?
Yes. You can download your QR code as an image and share it whenever you like.
What if my friend can't scan the code?
Your referral link is also included in the image as text, and most smartphones can recognise links and open them directly from a picture — so your friend can still open your invite and join Paysend.

Here's the short answer: yes, you can use a credit card to get money into someone's bank account abroad. "Credit card to bank transfer" means exactly that — you fund the transfer with your credit card, and your recipient receives it in their bank account. Or on their card, in their wallet, or as cash to collect, depending on where they are.
The card and the bank account do different jobs. Your card pays for the transfer. A provider like Paysend then pays the money out through local systems on the other end. It's one flow, and it takes about a minute in the app.
One thing worth knowing before you start: a credit card is usually the most expensive way to fund a transfer. Some issuers treat it as a cash advance, and credit tends to carry higher payment fees than debit. You'll always see the full cost, exchange rate included, before you confirm anything. What follows is: the ways your money can arrive, what each one costs, how fast it gets there, and the cheaper routes worth checking first.
Back-to-school season can be one of the times of year you feel furthest from the people you love. It's also one of the most expensive – school supplies, uniforms, tuition, and everyday essentials all add up at once. Many people help cover these costs by sending money internationally to family abroad. To support that, new Paysend customers get a fee-free first transfer at a better exchange rate during the back-to-school period.
Whether you're helping pay for school or everyday expenses, an international transfer can get support to the people who need it, when they need it. Paysend lets customers send money to more than 170 countries through secure, straightforward payment methods — here's how to sign up for free and claim the offer.
