Conheça Pavel Štich: como ele ajuda leitores tchecos e eslovacos a enviar dinheiro para casa

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.

Pavel Štich ajuda seus leitores a resolver exatamente esse problema há anos. Ele é cofundador e editor-chefe de finanças da Moneyo.cz, uma plataforma tcheca independente que compara serviços de transferência de dinheiro, corretoras e investimentos alternativos — e Embaixador da Paysend, o que significa que ele testa pessoalmente tudo o que recomenda, explica de forma simples e oferece aos seus leitores vantagens exclusivas. Perguntamos a ele como surgiu a Moneyo, quem a lê e por que escolheu a Paysend.
