Початок навчального року — один із тих періодів, коли особливо гостро відчуваєш відстань від близьких. Це також один із найбільш витратних періодів року: шкільне приладдя, форма, навчання та повсякденні витрати — усе це потрібно оплачувати приблизно в один час. Багато людей допомагають рідним за кордоном покривати ці витрати, надсилаючи їм гроші. Щоб допомогти з такими витратами, нові клієнти Paysend можуть здійснити перший переказ без комісії та за вигіднішим курсом у період підготовки до нового навчального року.
Незалежно від того, чи допомагаєте ви оплачувати навчання, чи покриваєте повсякденні витрати, міжнародний переказ дає змогу підтримати близьких саме тоді, коли це особливо важливо. З Paysend можна надсилати гроші до понад 170 країн зручним способом — нижче розповідаємо, як безкоштовно зареєструватися та скористатися пропозицією.
Every month, thousands of people working in the Czech Republic send part of their payday home — many of them Ukrainians supporting family across the border. And the traditional route makes it harder than it should be: bank wires that ask for IBANs and SWIFT codes, fees that only show up after the money's gone, and days of waiting while someone at home is counting on it.
Pavel Štich has spent years helping his readers solve exactly that. He's Co-Founder and Lead Financial Editor at Moneyo.cz, an independent Czech platform that compares money transfer services, stock brokers, and alternative investments — and a Paysend Ambassador, which means he tests what he recommends, explains it plainly, and brings his readers reader-only perks. We asked him how Moneyo started, who reads it, and why he chose Paysend.
