December Giveaway Winners Announced
The holidays might be over but the celebration continues — we’ve now credited the prizes for our December Giveaways. But at Paysend, giveaways are not just about winning, they are about recognising the real people behind every transfer, and the reasons why sending money matters.
One of our December winners shared this with us:
“I am currently in the Czech Republic and thanks to Paysend I can send money to my parents who live in Ukraine and are finding it difficult to earn money in the current conditions.”
Stories like this remind us why Paysend exists. Behind every transfer is someone supporting family across borders, often during challenging times. Being able to send money easily, securely, and without unnecessary fees can make a real difference.

Sending money abroad should feel simple, but if your international transfer is delayed or not received, it’s natural to wonder what went wrong.
International money transfers can be delayed, held, or returned for several reasons, most commonly due to compliance checks, missing information, processing cut-off times, or intermediary bank reviews. Industry reporting suggests that while the majority of transfers complete successfully, a small but meaningful share requires manual handling or additional processing, which can cause delays.
It’s important to understand that international money transfers involve multiple institutions, compliance checks, and settlement systems. Because of this, delays or exceptions are not unusual and are typically linked to process or regulatory requirements rather than technical failures or user mistakes.
With that in mind, this guide explains why international transfers may not be received as expected, how often this happens and what you can realistically do next.
From local watch parties to international celebrations, tournament season creates moments of excitement, pride, and connection. For many people living abroad, tournament season is also a time to support loved ones back home financially. Whether helping family prepare for celebrations, covering everyday expenses, or sharing in matchday traditions from abroad, sending money home becomes part of staying connected.
