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.

Online money transfer platforms let users send money internationally from their smartphone or laptop. They’re simple and user-friendly apps that can help customers save time and money with their transfers when they send money to Mexico online.

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.
