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.

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.
