How to send money to a friend abroad using Google Pay

Nowadays, you can do nearly everything using your smartphone. It’s a shopping trolley, map, stereo, cinema and wallet all in one!

Here at Paysend, we love smartphones because they help our customers to send money to their friends and family with incredible ease. Just a few years ago, it was impossible to make an international transfer without travelling to a bank or money transfer outlet, waiting in a queue, and paying money to the cashier to send abroad.

But now, people can send money thousands of miles around the world - and in just a few seconds - using digital smartphone apps.

Paysend has already helped 2.5 million people make the switch from offline to online transfers with our clear and simple smartphone app and web browser platform.

The benefits of Google Pay

Google Pay has revolutionised the way that people make purchases, by increasing speed, security and convenience - you no longer even need your credit or debit card physically present to make purchases! All you need is your fingerprint to shop securely with your phone.

Plus, Google Pay isn’t just for in-store purchases - you can buy goods and services online straight from your phone - meaning you don’t have to waste time entering card details every time you want to do some online shopping.

Lots of people don’t know that you can also use Google Pay to send money abroad - but how, exactly?

Send money abroad using Google Pay

Paysend lets you add funds and send money to your friends or family living abroad with Google Pay.

We all love it when an app or your web browser automatically fills in your details so you don’t have to, helping you to speed through the transaction much more quickly. It’s one of the simple ways that technology helps us in day-to-day life!

In the Paysend app, you can now automatically add your card details from Google Pay to speed up your money transfers even more - all you need to do is select Google Pay as your payment method in the app and confirm the transaction with your thumb or fingerprint.

Head to the Paysend app now, or download it from Google Play, to get started!

International money transfer: zero fee and a special rate offer on your first transfer

Sending money abroad shouldn't mean queuing in a bank branch and filling out forms with codes you may never have heard of. An international money transfer moves your money from your account, card, or wallet in the US to someone else's account, card, or wallet in another country, and, above all, it should be simple, transparent, and reliable enough that you don't have to think twice about it.

Whether you're supporting family back home, paying for something abroad, or sending a gift for a birthday you can't be there for in person, the reason you're sending matters more than the mechanics. If you're new to Paysend, your first transfer comes with zero fee and a special exchange rate, so more of what you send actually arrives, and we'll show you how to claim it.

Portrait de Pavel Štich : comment il aide les lecteurs tchèques et slovaques à envoyer de l'argent chez eux

Chaque mois, des milliers de personnes travaillant en République tchèque envoient une partie de leur salaire chez elles — beaucoup sont des Ukrainiens qui soutiennent leur famille de l'autre côté de la frontière. Et la méthode traditionnelle complique ce qui devrait être simple : des virements bancaires qui exigent IBAN et codes SWIFT, des frais qui n'apparaissent qu'une fois l'argent parti, et des jours d'attente pendant que quelqu'un, chez soi, compte sur ce transfert.

Pavel Štich aide ses lecteurs à résoudre exactement ce problème depuis des années. Il est cofondateur et rédacteur en chef finance de Moneyo.cz, une plateforme tchèque indépendante qui compare les services de transfert d'argent, les courtiers en bourse et les investissements alternatifs — et Ambassadeur Paysend, ce qui signifie qu'il teste lui-même ce qu'il recommande, l'explique simplement, et fait bénéficier ses lecteurs d'avantages exclusifs. Nous lui avons demandé comment Moneyo a démarré, qui le lit, et pourquoi il a choisi Paysend.
