Transfer money from the US to Canada with Paysend
Since the pandemic began, many countries have closed their borders or have discouraged international travel in order to keep residents safe and minimize risk of COVID-19 exposure. Despite many not being able to travel to see loved ones living abroad, our team is on a mission to create a world without borders through digital money.
That’s why we launched our international money transfer services in the US in the midst of the pandemic, allowing millions of residents, immigrants and expats living in the states to remain connected with friends and family abroad.
Expanding on our launch, we’re now focusing efforts on a border a little closer to home for those in the US – Canada.
Paysend allows US consumers to send money to Canada
The US-Canadian border is the world’s longest international boundary between two countries, and Paysend is breaking down its barrier.
We’re excited to offer US consumers the ability to electronically send money to friends and family living in Canada and help commerce flow more freely across North America.
How to transfer money from the US to Canada
Here at Paysend, we make international money transfers easy. To get started, you’ll simply need to download the Paysend app* onto your smartphone device, create an account and enter the amount of money you wish to send to your recipient of choice.
After you click send, your recipient will receive an email verification from our partner Interac. Once the email is confirmed, you will then receive a security code, which will also be available on the Paysend app, to share with your recipient once the transfer is sent.
Once complete, your money will arrive in CAD to your recipient’s bank account with any of the major Canadian financial institutions via Interac in close to real-time.
Ready to start sending money to your Canadian loved ones? Download the Paysend mobile app from the App Store or Google Play today.

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.
Starting January 1, 2026, a new U.S. federal rule introduced a 1% tax on certain international money transfers. If you send money abroad, you may have seen headlines or social posts raising questions — or concerns — about what this means for you.
Here’s the good news upfront:
Paysend customers won’t pay this tax.
In this blog, we explain what’s changing, who it affects, and why sending money with Paysend remains simple, transparent, and tax-free.
