How to send money to Mexico
The Mexican diaspora is one of the largest in the world. In the United States alone there are nearly 37 million Mexican Americans, and 13.5% of the US population speak Spanish at home!
With $30bn sent from the USA alone to Mexico per year - making this the largest money transfer corridor in the world - Mexicans living abroad need fast, simple and reliable money transfer services so that their recipients can receive the money as conveniently as possible.
What’s the best way to send money to Mexico?
Traditional methods of money transfer included giving money to a cashier at a high-street bank or remittance store. But with these services not always available, alternative solutions are needed that let you send money anytime, from the comfort of your own home.

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.
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.
