From Prague to Moravia — why Visa® makes sending money to Czechia simple and secure
Czechia is a country where tradition and modernity meet every day. From the cobbled streets of Prague’s Old Town to the bustling wine markets of Moravia, life here is increasingly digital — and that includes how people move and manage money.
For anyone supporting loved ones in Czechia, Visa card transfers with Paysend offer a secure, easy, and fast way to send funds that fit seamlessly into the Czech lifestyle.
A country moving from cash to cards
Not long ago, cash was king in Czechia. During the 1990s, following the Velvet Revolution and the split from Slovakia, most everyday payments were handled in notes and coins. But in just a generation, Czechia has become one of Central Europe’s most card-friendly countries.
Visa plays a big role in that shift. Today, more than 90% of merchants across Czechia accept card payments — from Prague’s tram system to small cafés in Brno. Even historic towns that attract tourists now make it easy to tap a card instead of handling koruna notes.
That’s why sending money directly to a Visa card makes perfect sense. It’s money your family or friends can use right away, with no delays and no need to queue at a bank.
Why Visa transfers work for Czechia
When you send money with Paysend to a Visa card in Czechia, you’re combining global security with local convenience.
- Instant use* — Transfers arrive quickly, and recipients can pay in shops, online, or withdraw koruna from an ATM.
- Everyday acceptance — Visa is accepted everywhere from Moravia’s markets to Prague’s metro ticket machines.
- Built-in security — Every Visa transaction benefits from strong fraud protection, 3D Secure authentication, and global monitoring.
- Peace of mind — Loved ones don’t need to open new accounts or download extra apps — they just use their existing Visa card.
*Your money will be sent in real time; however, transfer delivery times may vary based on recipient bank processing, compliance checks, or other factors.
The secure way to support family in Czechia
Czechs take security seriously. After all, the country has a long history of financial transitions — from the Austro-Hungarian crown to the Czechoslovak koruna, and today’s modern Czech koruna. Stability and reliability matter, especially when families depend on cross-border transfers.
By sending to a Visa card, you’re using a highly trusted payment network. Combined with Paysend’s encryption, regulatory oversight, and fraud prevention, it means your money is protected every step of the way.
Send money to Czechia with confidence
Whether your family is riding Prague’s trams, shopping in Ostrava, or enjoying a festival in Brno, Visa card transfers with Paysend give them easy, secure access to the funds they need.
Supporting loved ones abroad doesn’t have to be complicated. With Paysend and Visa, it’s as simple as sending directly to the card that already fits their everyday life.
