Why Visa® is the smart way to send money to the UK
Few places embrace contactless payments quite like the UK. Whether it’s a bus fare, a supermarket shop, or dinner with friends, Visa is ready to use almost everywhere. That’s why sending money directly to Visa cards in the UK is not only convenient, it’s also a safe way to support your loved ones.
A country built on contactless
The UK was an early adopter of contactless payments, and today, over 90% of in-person card transactions are made this way. For your friends and family, that means the funds you send can be spent instantly and almost anywhere, from supermarkets and corner shops to online shopping and utilities. No delays. No extra steps. Just money ready to use.
Security you can trust
Speed is important, but so is peace of mind. Visa is backed by multiple layers of fraud prevention and advanced encryption technology. When you send to a Visa card, your recipient benefits from the same security that protects millions of daily transactions across the UK. Plus, with Paysend, transfers are monitored with strict anti-fraud measures to keep your money safe from start to finish.

Here's the good news: a card to card transfer sends money straight from your card to someone else's, using the card networks instead of a standard bank transfer. No IBAN, no BIC, no sort code – just a card number. Let's get you sending.
