What details do I need to send a bank transfer?
When sending a bank transfer through Paysend, the required account details may vary to follow local laws and depend on the destination country and the type of account. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand what information you may need to provide.
General requirements
For most countries, you will need to provide the following recipient details:
- Full name: Provide the recipient's first and last name in Latin characters (a-z, A-Z).
- Account number: Enter the account number of the recipient.
