If you want one app to manage everyday spending, budgeting, and travel while also handling the occasional international transfer, Revolut can be a strong fit. If your priority is sending money to someone else’s card or wallet abroad with predictable costs and minimal setup, Paysend is often the more suitable choice, because it is built specifically around international payouts rather than general personal banking. Let’s explore all the important attributes when it comes to sending money abroad.
International money transfers have changed dramatically over the past decade. Traditional banks, once the default option for sending money abroad, have increasingly been replaced by fintech platforms offering faster delivery, clearer pricing, and digital-first experiences.
Among those platforms, Paysend and Revolut are often mentioned together — but they are built for different core use cases. Choosing the best way to send money abroad depends on how you use the service and what your recipient needs.
This comparison is most relevant for people who regularly send money to someone else abroad — such as family members, dependents, or partners — rather than users mainly looking for a personal spending, travel, or budgeting app.
Revolut is widely known as a lifestyle banking app with a broad range of financial features. Paysend, by contrast, is designed as a specialized global payment network focused on international payouts. Which one fits better depends on what you actually need to do.
