How to send money to someone with a debit card

Debit cards are the perfect way to make sure that you don’t spend money you don’t have, which many people do when they have a credit card!

When you use a debit card to make purchases for goods and services, you’re limited to spend however much you’ve got in your account. This is why it’s wise for people who are prone to impulse buying should consider switching from a credit to a debit card!

How to send money to someone with a debit card

It’s really easy to send money to someone with a debit card, because it’s usually linked to a bank account which it takes money from to pay for things online and in-store.

To make a transfer to someone with a debit card via their bank, you’ll need their bank details. When you’ve got these, you can choose whether to send the money using an online or offline method of transfer.

If you choose an offline method, you’ll need to go to a bank, post office or remittance store to send your money. You’ll need to pay the cashier, and fill in a form with your recipient’s bank details. They will then send your money for a fee, and it should arrive in your recipient’s bank account within a few days.Your recipient can then use the funds with their debit card linked to the bank account.

Credit card to bank transfer: how it works, costs and speed

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.

Poznaj Pavla Šticha: jak pomaga czeskim i słowackim czytelnikom wysyłać pieniądze do domu

Co miesiąc tysiące osób pracujących w Czechach wysyła część wypłaty do domu — wielu z nich to Ukraińcy wspierający rodzinę za granicą. A tradycyjna droga utrudnia to, co powinno być proste: przelewy bankowe wymagające IBAN i kodów SWIFT, opłaty, które widać dopiero, gdy pieniądze już zniknęły, oraz dni oczekiwania, podczas gdy ktoś w domu na nie liczy.

Pavel Štich od lat pomaga swoim czytelnikom rozwiązywać dokładnie ten problem. Jest współzałożycielem i redaktorem naczelnym ds. finansów w Moneyo.cz — niezależnej czeskiej platformie, która porównuje usługi przekazów pieniężnych, brokerów giełdowych i alternatywne inwestycje — a także Ambasadorem Paysend, co oznacza, że osobiście testuje wszystko, co poleca, wyjaśnia to prostym językiem i daje swoim czytelnikom ekskluzywne korzyści. Zapytaliśmy go, jak powstało Moneyo, kto je czyta i dlaczego wybrał Paysend.
