Build Your Carnival Bloco with Paysend and Unlock Bigger Rewards

Carnival in Brazil is one of the world’s most joyful celebrations — bringing communities together through music, dance, and shared moments. This Carnival, Paysend is celebrating that same spirit with Carnival Blocos, a limited-time referral campaign.
From 13 to February 21, 2026, every friend you invite to Paysend who sends money to Brazil helps you progress through Carnival Bloco reward levels, unlocking bigger bonuses as you invite more friends.
What are Carnival Blocos?
In Brazil, blocos are open, community-led Carnival groups where everyone is welcome. Inspired by this tradition, Carnival Blocos turns referrals into a celebration — with rewards that grow as more friends join.
Each successful referral adds to your Carnival Bloco total:
- 1 friend to 4 friends → $10 USD Bonus
- 5 friends to 9 friends → $100 USD Bonus
- 10 friends or more → $250 USD Bonus
All Carnival Blocos bonuses are credited to your Paysend Bonus account within 7 working days after the campaign ends. Standard referral rewards still apply.

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.
Pavel Štich aiuta da anni i suoi lettori a risolvere proprio questo problema. È cofondatore e caporedattore finanziario di Moneyo.cz, una piattaforma finanziaria ceca indipendente che mette a confronto servizi di trasferimento di denaro, broker e investimenti alternativi, oltre a essere Ambasciatore Paysend. Questo significa che prova personalmente ciò che consiglia, lo spiega in modo semplice e offre ai suoi lettori vantaggi esclusivi. Gli abbiamo chiesto come è nato Moneyo, chi sono i suoi lettori e perché ha scelto Paysend.
