Every year on March 8th, International Women’s Day brings people together to recognise progress, reflect on equality and celebrate the achievements of women around the world. 

It’s a day to say ‘Happy International Women’s Day’ – but also a day to take meaningful action. 

This March, Paysend is helping new customers in Canada and the EEA send practical support across borders with a limited-time offer. 

If you want one app to manage everyday spending, budgeting, and travel while also handling the occasional international transfer, Revolut can be a strong fit. If your priority is sending money to someone else’s card or wallet abroad with predictable costs and minimal setup, Paysend is often the more suitable choice, because it is built specifically around international payouts rather than general personal banking. Let’s explore all the important attributes when it comes to sending money abroad.

International money transfers have changed dramatically over the past decade. Traditional banks, once the default option for sending money abroad, have increasingly been replaced by fintech platforms offering faster delivery, clearer pricing, and digital-first experiences.

Among those platforms, Paysend and Revolut are often mentioned together — but they are built for different core use cases. Choosing the best way to send money abroad depends on how you use the service and what your recipient needs.

This comparison is most relevant for people who regularly send money to someone else abroad — such as family members, dependents, or partners — rather than users mainly looking for a personal spending, travel, or budgeting app.

Revolut is widely known as a lifestyle banking app with a broad range of financial features. Paysend, by contrast, is designed as a specialized global payment network focused on international payouts. Which one fits better depends on what you actually need to do.

Credit cards cannot usually send money directly to a bank account in the same way a traditional bank transfer works. However, modern digital payment services make it possible to use a credit or debit card as a funding source and deliver money to a bank account or another card, depending on the destination and local payment infrastructure.

This guide explains how these transfers work today, why they are often described as “credit card to bank account” transfers, and what options are available if you want to send money funded by a card, especially across borders.
