Paysend Partners with Mastercard Send to Extend International and Domestic Money Transfers
As the focus on digital transformation continues across industries, consumers are leading the charge and making their preferences known. One way they’ve done so is by migrating more and more to convenient options that blend into their busy lives.
It is our goal to make international digital money transfers as quick and easy as possible for our customers. That’s why we’ve partnered with Mastercard SendTM to better expand our service offerings.
Using Paysend with Mastercard Send for International Money Transfers
Through this integration, US customers can send funds directly to eligible Mastercard cards internationally including to Mexico, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador and Columbia. What’s more, this partnership also allows US customers to transfer money to loved ones domestically to US Mastercard cardholders.
How does this work? Using the Paysend app*, American customers can transfer money to a friend or family member and the funds arrive straight to the recipient’s debit card account in near real-time.† That means they can use it almost immediately after you hit send. This helps eliminate the process of long transfer times and moving money from the Paysend app to an account.
We’re excited that we can expand our platform and offer the convenience that consumers and our customers deserve.

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.
Back-to-school season can be one of the times of year you feel furthest from the people you love.

To support that, new Paysend customers get a fee-free first transfer at a better exchange rate during the back-to-school period.
