Why Paysend Verification Matters – and How It Keeps You Safe
When it comes to sending money across the world, trust and security come first. At Paysend, we’re proud to make global transfers quick and easy – but we also take your safety seriously. That’s why we have a few verification steps in place to make sure your money always gets where it needs to go, securely and without worry.
If you’ve ever wondered why we ask for a few extra details, this guide will explain what verification is, why it matters, and how it actually benefits you.
What Is Verification and Why Do We Need It?
Think of verification as your digital ID check. It’s how we confirm that every transaction really comes from you. This helps us keep your account safe, prevent fraud and ensure that every transfer meets international financial standards.
Depending on how much and how often you send money, or which countries you transfer to, we may ask you to confirm and verify some details. It’s a small step that goes a long way toward protecting your account and keeping the Paysend community secure.
Types of Verification You Might See
To make sure everything runs smoothly, we may ask for one or more of the following:
- Identity verification – confirming it’s really you
- Address verification – making sure we can reach you safely
- Purpose of sending money – understanding your transfers
- Source of funds – confirming your money comes from a legitimate source
- Payment method or recipient verification – adding an extra layer of safety
Each step helps us tailor your account experience. In fact, completing verification can increase your sending limits and unlock more destination countries, making it easier to send money where it matters most.
When We Might Ask for Verification Again
Sometimes, you might notice we ask for verification more than once. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal.
This can happen when you increase your sending limits, update your personal data or phone number, add or change your card, or simply when regulations require us to check again.
These extra checks help us keep your account compliant with international standards and maintain the highest levels of security without slowing down your transfers.
Our Promise to You
We understand that verification can sometimes feel like an extra step, but it’s one that truly matters. Behind every request is our commitment to keeping your information private, your money protected, and your experience simple.
At Paysend, your trust means everything to us. We’re constantly working to make verification smoother, faster, and more transparent because a secure service should also be a stress-free one.

Credit cards cannot usually send money directly to a bank account in the same way a traditional bank transfer works. However, modern digital payment services make it possible to use a credit or debit card as a funding source and deliver money to a bank account or another card, depending on the destination and local payment infrastructure.
This guide explains how these transfers work today, why they are often described as “credit card to bank account” transfers, and what options are available if you want to send money funded by a card, especially across borders.
Holi is a colourful reminder of home. For many people living in the UK, Canada and across the EEA, it’s a time when memories of family, food and celebration feel especially strong.
But sending money to India isn’t just something people do during festivals, like Holi. It’s something families rely on all year round – for everyday support, special occasions, education costs and unexpected expenses.
This Holi, there’s something extra to celebrate. New Paysend users can unlock a limited-time bonus when sending money to India.
Whether you’re planning to send money to India for Holi or making a transfer at any time of year from the UK, Canada or Europe, here’s what you need to know.
