How to send money from Canada to China

Canada is home to over a million people from China - in Vancouver alone 20% of the population now identifies as Chinese.

If you’re a Chinese expat living in Canada and you need to send money home to friends and family, you’ll want to find the cheapest way to send money from Canada to China. This is because money transfers are often sent with high commission charges, hidden fees and poor exchange rates.

How to find the cheapest way to send money from Canada to China

The only way that you’ll be able to find the cheapest way to send money from Canada to China is by knowing how much it will cost you in terms of fees, and how much your recipient will receive (this depends on the exchange rate).

If you’re using an offline method like a bank, money transfer store or post office, this will involve going in-store and asking the cashier how much it’ll cost.

However, it may be quicker and easier to just check online by using a money transfer calculator from an online platform. This will help you to compare ways to send money from Canada to China really quickly, and will help you decide which is the cheapest.

To get you started with this, check out Paysend’s money transfer calculator on our home page.

Credit card to bank transfer: how it works, costs and speed

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.

Cunoaște-l pe Pavel Štich: cum îi ajută pe cititorii cehi și slovaci să trimită bani acasă

În fiecare lună, mii de persoane care lucrează în Cehia trimit acasă o parte din salariu — mulți dintre ei sunt ucraineni care își sprijină familia de peste graniță. Iar drumul tradițional îngreunează ceea ce ar trebui să fie simplu: transferuri bancare care cer IBAN și coduri SWIFT, comisioane care apar abia după ce banii au plecat deja, și zile de așteptare în timp ce cineva de acasă contează pe ei.

Pavel Štich își ajută cititorii de ani de zile să rezolve exact această problemă. Este cofondator și redactor-șef finanțe la Moneyo.cz, o platformă cehă independentă care compară serviciile de transfer de bani, brokerii bursieri și investițiile alternative — și Ambasador Paysend, ceea ce înseamnă că testează personal tot ce recomandă, explică simplu și oferă cititorilor săi avantaje exclusive. L-am întrebat cum a apărut Moneyo, cine îl citește și de ce a ales Paysend.
