Cash Pick-up added as a receiving method in Nigeria!
We’ve got some good news if you regularly send money to Nigeria!
With technology constantly evolving, it's easy to forget that some people still choose to manage their money the old-fashioned way - in cash rather than digitally.
You may be an expert on mobile or online banking to send and receive money as a Paysend customer, but the people you transfer money to may not!
Many people all over the world still choose to receive money by visiting a money transfer location or bank to retrieve cash. To help those people out we've added cash Pick-up as an alternative option for recipients in Nigeria ensuring that our customers are allowed even more flexibility when receiving or moving their money.
Here are some questions that you might have:

Yes, the recipient’s ID card or passport should be provided when they pick-up.
What else will my recipient need to do to pick-up the money?
The recipient will need to present the transaction code (this will be sent to you once the transfer is sent, all you need to do then is share the code).
The recipient will also need to provide the one-time password which is sent to the recipient’s mobile phone at the time they claim the cash at the pickup location.

Pix payments have transformed how money moves inside Brazil. Since its launch by the Central Bank of Brazil in 2020, Pix has quickly become the primary payment rail, used by individuals, businesses, and government institutions.
If you're looking to send money to Brazil, you may come across the term “Pix payments.” Pix itself is a domestic payment system. Funds sent from abroad are processed by a licensed transfer provider – for example Paysend – converted locally, and then delivered to the recipient through the Pix network.
When comparing international money transfer services, many people assume that using the mid-market exchange rate automatically means a cheaper transfer. The logic seems straightforward: if the exchange rate reflects the midpoint used in global currency markets, the overall cost should be lower. In reality, however, the total transfer cost depends not only on the exchange rate but also on how the provider structures its fees.
