How to transfer money from a credit card to debit card
These days it’s fairly easy to transfer money between bank accounts. But what about transferring money between cards?
If you want to transfer money from your credit card it’s usually called a balance transfer. Sending money is made slightly trickier with credit cards, because you’re building up a debt when you spend, which is paid off at the end of the month. So if you want to transfer money to someone else using your credit card, you’re effectively transferring them money to form a debt that you haven’t yet paid off.
If you only have a credit card and you need to transfer money then you will need to find a provider which is low-cost, simple and fast. Luckily, Paysend has the solution!
Can I transfer money from credit card to debit card?
Paysend has developed a unique way of transferring money from one person to another - card2card transactions.
This effectively means that you don’t need any bank details to send money to someone.
So if you want to send money from your credit card to a friend or family member’s debit card, all you need are your card details and your recipient’s details. It’s as simple as that!
With other money transfer providers you’ll need an assortment of bank details, which could include SWIFT, IBAN, sort code, account number, bank name… the list really does go on!
But here at Paysend we want to make it so simple to send money between people that anyone can do it by using our platform - and one of the ways we do this is through bypassing complicated bank processes and reducing the hassle from money transfers.
