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.
How do American’s celebrate Thanksgiving?
The staple of an American Thanksgiving is the traditional meal. For many Americans, the spread typically consists of turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie.

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.
Every month, thousands of people working in the Czech Republic send part of their payday home — many of them Ukrainians supporting family across the border. And the traditional route makes it harder than it should be: bank wires that ask for IBANs and SWIFT codes, fees that only show up after the money's gone, and days of waiting while someone at home is counting on it.
Pavel Štich has spent years helping his readers solve exactly that. He's Co-Founder and Lead Financial Editor at Moneyo.cz, an independent Czech platform that compares money transfer services, stock brokers, and alternative investments — and a Paysend Ambassador, which means he tests what he recommends, explains it plainly, and brings his readers reader-only perks. We asked him how Moneyo started, who reads it, and why he chose Paysend.
