Making a positive difference in communities through digital money transfers
We all have a responsibility to make a positive change. As our society continues to recuperate from hardships accelerated by the pandemic, people and communities around the world need more support than ever before.
We’ve made it a goal of ours to help uplift communities around the globe by enabling customers to connect and support loved ones and their communities through our easy-to-use and affordable digital money solutions. That’s why we were thrilled to see that several of our customers entered our WeConnect Sweepstakes for a chance to send their winnings to organizations making a difference in their home countries.

If the past two years after the onset of the pandemic have taught us anything, it is to cherish those we care deeply for, letting them know just how much they mean to us. Because a simple act of kindness can go a long way and make a huge impact!
As we continue our transition into a post-COVID-19 way of living, we all must do our part to get our communities back up and running, especially by supporting those less fortunate. And with Paysend’s digital money transfer platform, you can do just that. In fact, we’re already seeing our customers use our service to give back.
One of our customers living in British Columbia sends money to her brother back home in Uganda, where he works with an organization helping children with cerebral palsy retrieve medicine and other basic needs.
Another one of our customers living in Florida also wanted to use his sweepstakes winnings to send money to his friend in the Philippines to help diabetics living in her community.
So, even if you can’t offer physical support by volunteering back home, you can still provide financial help to those in need.

Sending money abroad should feel simple, but if your international transfer is delayed or not received, it’s natural to wonder what went wrong.
International money transfers can be delayed, held, or returned for several reasons, most commonly due to compliance checks, missing information, processing cut-off times, or intermediary bank reviews. Industry reporting suggests that while the majority of transfers complete successfully, a small but meaningful share requires manual handling or additional processing, which can cause delays.
It’s important to understand that international money transfers involve multiple institutions, compliance checks, and settlement systems. Because of this, delays or exceptions are not unusual and are typically linked to process or regulatory requirements rather than technical failures or user mistakes.
With that in mind, this guide explains why international transfers may not be received as expected, how often this happens and what you can realistically do next.
Following the earthquakes that struck Venezuela on 24 June 2026, Paysend is waiving its transfer fee on money sent to Venezuela for two weeks, from 25 June to July 9 2026, so you can support family and friends without paying a fee. Exchange rates apply as normal, and you'll always see the full cost before you send.
