How to send money to a friend abroad using Google Pay
Nowadays, you can do nearly everything using your smartphone. It’s a shopping trolley, map, stereo, cinema and wallet all in one!
Here at Paysend, we love smartphones because they help our customers to send money to their friends and family with incredible ease. Just a few years ago, it was impossible to make an international transfer without travelling to a bank or money transfer outlet, waiting in a queue, and paying money to the cashier to send abroad.
But now, people can send money thousands of miles around the world - and in just a few seconds - using digital smartphone apps.
Paysend has already helped 2.5 million people make the switch from offline to online transfers with our clear and simple smartphone app and web browser platform.
The benefits of Google Pay
Google Pay has revolutionised the way that people make purchases, by increasing speed, security and convenience - you no longer even need your credit or debit card physically present to make purchases! All you need is your fingerprint to shop securely with your phone.
Plus, Google Pay isn’t just for in-store purchases - you can buy goods and services online straight from your phone - meaning you don’t have to waste time entering card details every time you want to do some online shopping.
Lots of people don’t know that you can also use Google Pay to send money abroad - but how, exactly?
Send money abroad using Google Pay
Paysend lets you add funds and send money to your friends or family living abroad with Google Pay.
We all love it when an app or your web browser automatically fills in your details so you don’t have to, helping you to speed through the transaction much more quickly. It’s one of the simple ways that technology helps us in day-to-day life!
In the Paysend app, you can now automatically add your card details from Google Pay to speed up your money transfers even more - all you need to do is select Google Pay as your payment method in the app and confirm the transaction with your thumb or fingerprint.

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.
Poznejte Pavla Šticha: jak pomáhá českým a slovenským čtenářům posílat peníze domů
Každý měsíc posílá tisíce lidí pracujících v Česku část výplaty domů – mnozí z nich jsou Ukrajinci, kteří podporují rodinu za hranicemi. A tradiční cesta ztěžuje to, co by mělo být jednoduché: bankovní převody vyžadující IBAN a SWIFT kódy, poplatky, které se objeví až poté, co peníze odešly, a dny čekání, zatímco doma na ně někdo spoléhá.
Pavel Štich pomáhá svým čtenářům řešit přesně tento problém už léta. Je spoluzakladatelem a šéfredaktorem pro finance na Moneyo.cz – nezávislé české platformě, která porovnává služby pro zasílání peněz, akciové brokery a alternativní investice – a zároveň Ambasadorem Paysend, což znamená, že vše, co doporučuje, osobně testuje, vysvětluje srozumitelně a svým čtenářům přináší exkluzivní výhody. Zeptali jsme se ho, jak Moneyo vzniklo, kdo ho čte a proč si vybral Paysend.
