Celebrate Thanksgiving by supporting your loved ones this year!

What is Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States that traditionally commemorates a good harvest and signifies the passing of another year. It also allows Americans all over the country to show appreciation and share what they are most grateful for.

How did Thanksgiving originate?

Americans generally acknowledge the origin of Thanksgiving as the feast shared by the English colonists of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people native to the land.

Since then, this event has come to symbolize unity for the American people. It encourages citizens to put aside their differences, develop a greater understanding of one another and practice acceptance for all races, creeds, and cultures.

How do American’s celebrate Thanksgiving?

The staple of an American Thanksgiving is the traditional meal. For many Americans, the spread typically consists of turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie.

 

This year, Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday, November 25th. With the day fast approaching, many Americans are looking forward to enjoying some quality time with their loved ones while sharing what they are most thankful for.

Pavel Štich im Porträt: Wie er tschechischen und slowakischen Lesern hilft, Geld nach Hause zu senden

Jeden Monat schicken Tausende Menschen, die in Tschechien arbeiten, einen Teil ihres Gehalts nach Hause – viele von ihnen sind Ukrainer, die Familie jenseits der Grenze unterstützen. Und der klassische Weg macht es schwerer, als es sein müsste: Banküberweisungen, die IBAN und SWIFT-Codes verlangen, Gebühren, die erst sichtbar werden, wenn das Geld schon weg ist, und tagelanges Warten, während zu Hause jemand darauf angewiesen ist.

Pavel Štich hilft seinen Lesern seit Jahren genau dabei, dieses Problem zu lösen. Er ist Mitgründer und Chefredakteur für Finanzen bei Moneyo.cz, einer unabhängigen tschechischen Plattform, die Geldtransferdienste, Aktienbroker und alternative Investments vergleicht – und Paysend-Botschafter, was bedeutet: Er testet selbst, was er empfiehlt, erklärt es verständlich und bietet seinen Lesern exklusive Vorteile. Wir haben ihn gefragt, wie Moneyo entstanden ist, wer die Plattform liest und warum er sich für Paysend entschieden hat.

Is Paysend safe? Security, verification & fraud prevention explained

Sending money digitally is quick and convenient, but it also involves important security, verification, and fraud prevention checks. In most cases these checks happen automatically in the background.

If you’ve ever wondered why Paysend asks you to verify your identity, why a transfer might be reviewed, or how your money is protected, the answer is simple: these processes are designed to keep you, your money, and your recipient safe.

Every digital money transfer relies on trust, regulation, and security systems working together. While these checks can sometimes feel like an extra step, they are a standard and essential part of how modern money transfers stay secure.
