With Paysend’s network of over 170 countries, transferring money has never been easier or more cost-effective. Let’s walk through how to use the Paysend app and make your first transfer, step by step.
Step 1: Select your destination country
Once your account is set up, the next step is to choose the country where you want to send money. Paysend makes it super simple - you can transfer funds to over 170 countries globally, including popular destinations like Mexico, India, the Philippines, Nigeria and more.
After you’ve selected the destination, Paysend will show you the available transfer options based on the country’s local banking and financial system. These options may include:
- Bank Account: This is one of the most reliable ways to send money internationally directly to a bank account.
- Card Transfers: A unique feature of Paysend that lets you send money straight to a bank card.
- Mobile Wallets: For added convenience, some countries support transfers to mobile wallets.
- Cash Pickup: For even more flexibility, Paysend offers cash pickup options in certain countries, so your recipient can collect the money in person or even have it delivered to their home.
- SEPA Transfers: Available across the EU and UK, SEPA transfer is a simple, efficient and inexpensive way to send and receive payments in Euros across the participating European countries.
Step 2: Add recipient details
Now, it’s time to add your recipient’s details. This will depend on the transfer method you’ve chosen:
- Bank Account: You’ll need the recipient’s bank details - account number and possibly the SWIFT/BIC code.
- Card Transfers: Just enter the recipient’s card number.
- Mobile Wallets: For wallet transfers, provide the wallet number
Once you’ve entered the information, Paysend saves it securely for future transfers, making it easier to send money next time.
Step 3: Enter the transfer amount
Next, simply enter how much you want to send. Paysend will show you the exact exchange rate and the total cost of the transfer, so there are no surprises. One of Paysend’s strengths is its transparency - you’ll always know exactly how much you’ll send and how much the recipient will receive before you hit the send button. No hidden fees, no guessing.
Step 4: Review and confirm your transfer
Before you finalise the transfer, Paysend will give you a summary of all the details: recipient information, the amount you’re sending, the exchange rate, and the delivery method. If everything looks good, hit ‘Confirm & Send’ to start the transfer.
Step 5: Track your transfer
After completing your transfer, Paysend gives you a confirmation and a tracking feature, so you can follow your transfer’s journey. This way, you can be sure your money reaches your recipient quickly and securely.
