Excellence in Onboarding: Why Cross-Team Collaboration Matters
By Lisa Navarro, Head of Enterprise Operations at Paysend
In the world of cross-border payments, onboarding isn’t just a procedural step — it’s the foundation of a successful partnership. At Paysend Enterprise, our clients trust us with their most valuable asset: their ability to move money globally, securely, and efficiently. For me, that trust starts with how I bring them into our ecosystem.
As Head of Enterprise Operations, I see every onboarding journey — which we’re proud to typically complete in an impressive 2 weeks — as an opportunity to set the tone for the relationship, where operational excellence and true collaboration come together. I take this part of the process personally, because it’s where operational excellence and true collaboration first come together.
Beyond Compliance — Towards Partnership
Our onboarding process goes beyond ticking boxes - it’s designed to ensure every partner is fully verified, compliant, and ready to scale with us.
That means our Onboarding team works together with Sales and Compliance from the very start. While Sales focuses on understanding the client’s needs and structuring the right solution — whether it’s our cross-border API, Instant Settlement Account, or Embed solution — the Onboarding team ensures that all Know Your Business (KYB) requirements are met in full, while maintaining a smooth and transparent journey.
Excellence Through Communication
In B2B, information flow is everything. At Paysend Enterprise, we’ve built cross-functional routines and feedback loops that keep Operations, Compliance, and Sales aligned — ensuring we anticipate issues before they arise, align on expectations, and keep clients informed at every step. It’s something I champion every day.
Continuous Improvement as a Mindset
Our goal is not only to meet best practice but to define it. Every client we onboard adds to our collective experience — helping us refine our processes, expand our due diligence playbooks, introduce smarter automation, and raise the bar for what “excellent onboarding” looks like in global payments.
The Result: A Trusted Foundation for Growth
The result is more than an onboarding process — we create a foundation for growth. That foundation allows our clients to access over 100 corridors and 80+ currencies, knowing their operations are underpinned by the same standards of trust and diligence that define Paysend Enterprise.
Because for me and my team, onboarding isn’t about paperwork. It’s about setting the stage for success — together.

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.
