Sending money abroad shouldn't mean queuing in a bank branch and filling out forms with codes you may never have heard of. An international money transfer moves your money from your account, card, or wallet in the US to someone else's account, card, or wallet in another country, and, above all, it should be simple, transparent, and reliable enough that you don't have to think twice about it.
Whether you're supporting family back home, paying for something abroad, or sending a gift for a birthday you can't be there for in person, the reason you're sending matters more than the mechanics. If you're new to Paysend, your first transfer comes with zero fee and a special exchange rate, so more of what you send actually arrives, and we'll show you how to claim it.

Ve geleneksel yol, basit olması gereken bir işi zorlaştırıyor: IBAN ve SWIFT kodu isteyen banka havaleleri, para gittikten sonra ortaya çıkan ücretler ve evde birinin o paraya güvendiği günler süren bekleyişler.
