How to transfer money from a credit card to debit card
These days it’s fairly easy to transfer money between bank accounts. But what about transferring money between cards?
If you want to transfer money from your credit card it’s usually called a balance transfer. Sending money is made slightly trickier with credit cards, because you’re building up a debt when you spend, which is paid off at the end of the month. So if you want to transfer money to someone else using your credit card, you’re effectively transferring them money to form a debt that you haven’t yet paid off.
If you only have a credit card and you need to transfer money then you will need to find a provider which is low-cost, simple and fast. Luckily, Paysend has the solution!
Can I transfer money from credit card to debit card?
Paysend has developed a unique way of transferring money from one person to another - card2card transactions.
This effectively means that you don’t need any bank details to send money to someone.
So if you want to send money from your credit card to a friend or family member’s debit card, all you need are your card details and your recipient’s details. It’s as simple as that!
With other money transfer providers you’ll need an assortment of bank details, which could include SWIFT, IBAN, sort code, account number, bank name… the list really does go on!
But here at Paysend we want to make it so simple to send money between people that anyone can do it by using our platform - and one of the ways we do this is through bypassing complicated bank processes and reducing the hassle from money transfers.

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.
Todo mês, milhares de pessoas que trabalham na República Tcheca enviam parte do salário para casa — muitas delas são ucranianos que sustentam a família do outro lado da fronteira. E o caminho tradicional torna mais difícil algo que deveria ser simples: transferências bancárias que exigem IBAN e códigos SWIFT, tarifas que só aparecem depois que o dinheiro já saiu, e dias de espera enquanto alguém em casa conta com esse valor.
