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. If you're new to Paysend, your first transfer comes with zero fee and a special exchange rate, so more of what you send actually arrives, and we'll show you how to claim it.

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.

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.
