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.
Каждый месяц тысячи людей, работающих в Чехии, отправляют часть зарплаты домой — многие из них украинцы, поддерживающие семью по ту сторону границы. И привычный путь усложняет то, что должно быть простым: банковские переводы, требующие IBAN и SWIFT-коды, комиссии, которые становятся видны только после того, как деньги уже ушли, и дни ожидания, пока кто-то дома рассчитывает на этот перевод.
Павел Штих уже несколько лет помогает своим читателям решать именно эту проблему. Он сооснователь и главный финансовый редактор Moneyo.cz — независимой чешской платформы, которая сравнивает сервисы денежных переводов, брокеров и альтернативные инвестиции, — а также амбассадор Paysend: это значит, что он лично тестирует всё, что рекомендует, объясняет это простым языком и даёт своим читателям эксклюзивные бонусы. Мы спросили его, как появился Moneyo, кто его читает и почему он выбрал Paysend.
