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.

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.
