Where do people in Australia send their money?
People living and working in Australia send around $17 billion around the world every year. The top destinations for Australian money are China, India and Vietnam, closely followed by the UK and the Philippines.
Is Paysend right for you?
Traditional methods of money transfer involve long queues in banks, remittance shops and post offices. This way of sending money is best for some, who need help from a cashier to send their money, but the queues, high fees and poor exchange rates put many people off.
Paysend allows users to send money from Australia all around the world from their smartphone via the Paysend app. We allow you to send money directly to cards or bank accounts for a flat, low fee.
How much does it cost to send money from Australia with Paysend?
Paysend charges a flat fee of just A$2 for every money transfer from Australia to any other country in the world. That means if you want to send A$20, A$200 or A$2000 from Australia to the UK, it will always cost you just A$2.
When will my money reach its destination?
Money sent with Paysend will usually arrive in your recipient’s bank account or on their card within a few minutes of being sent. However, it may take up to three days if your recipient’s bank isn’t quite as quick at processing payments as us! Paysend will always aim to get your money where you want it to go as quickly as possible. You may also read about how to easily transfer money to Australia online!

Sending money abroad shouldn't mean queuing in a bank branch and filling out forms with codes you may never have heard of. An international money transfer moves your money from your account, card, or wallet in the US to someone else's account, card, or wallet in another country, and, above all, it should be simple, transparent, and reliable enough that you don't have to think twice about it.
Whether you're supporting family back home, paying for something abroad, or sending a gift for a birthday you can't be there for in person, the reason you're sending matters more than the mechanics.

Every month, thousands of people working in the Czech Republic send part of their payday home — many of them Ukrainians supporting family across the border. And the traditional route makes it harder than it should be: bank wires that ask for IBANs and SWIFT codes, fees that only show up after the money's gone, and days of waiting while someone at home is counting on it.
Pavel Štich has spent years helping his readers solve exactly that. He's Co-Founder and Lead Financial Editor at Moneyo.cz, an independent Czech platform that compares money transfer services, stock brokers, and alternative investments — and a Paysend Ambassador, which means he tests what he recommends, explains it plainly, and brings his readers reader-only perks. We asked him how Moneyo started, who reads it, and why he chose Paysend.
