How to send money to Senegal
Around 5% of Senegal’s population travel abroad to live and work, regularly sending money back home to support their loved ones. The Senegalese capital Dakar is the most westernly point in Africa, and so is the last place every day to experience African sunrises and sunsets.
To help Senagalese expats feel closer to these beautiful African sunsets and their loved ones, they need fast, affordable and simple money transfers so that their money arrives quickly, and without high fees or commission.

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.
Ogni mese, migliaia di persone che lavorano nella Repubblica Ceca inviano una parte del proprio stipendio a casa; molti di loro sono cittadini ucraini che sostengono le proprie famiglie dall'altra parte del confine. E i metodi tradizionali rendono più complicato ciò che dovrebbe essere semplice: bonifici bancari che richiedono IBAN e codici SWIFT, commissioni che diventano visibili solo dopo l'invio del denaro e giorni di attesa mentre a casa qualcuno fa affidamento su quel trasferimento.
