When women move forward, we all do – Celebrating International Women’s Day with a rewarding offer
Every year on March 8th, International Women’s Day brings people together to recognise progress, reflect on equality and celebrate the achievements of women around the world.
It’s a day to say ‘Happy International Women’s Day’ – but also a day to take meaningful action.
This March, Paysend is helping new customers in Canada and the EEA send practical support across borders with a limited-time offer.
The limited-time offer
For new users, your first two international transfers are fee-free, with no minimum transfer amount, so even small gestures can make a real difference.
Here are the details:
- 2 fee-free international transfers
- On first 2 international transfers
- No minimum transfer amount
- Eligible markets: Canada and the EEA
- Starts: March 7th. Ends March 31st
- Terms apply
Cross-border support is more than sending money; it’s about helping with education, covering emergencies, celebrating milestones, and staying connected, no matter the distance.
When is Women’s Day and why does it matter?
International Women’s Day takes place annually on 8 March and is recognised worldwide as a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
But beyond celebration, it’s also about access — to opportunity, financial security and independence.
Progress rarely happens in one dramatic moment. It builds over time, through everyday decisions and the tools that support them.
The wider impact of women’s financial empowerment
When women gain access to income and financial tools, the benefits ripple outward.
Research from global development organisations consistently shows that women reinvest a significantly higher proportion of their income back into their families and communities – up to 90%, compared with 30–40% for men. That reinvestment goes toward education, healthcare, nutrition, and long-term stability.
In practical terms, that means:
- Children are more likely to stay in school
- Families are better protected from financial shocks
- Communities experience stronger, more sustainable growth
Women’s financial empowerment isn’t just a social issue, it’s an economic one.
The reality: access is still unequal
Despite progress in recent years, financial access remains uneven.
Globally, over 740 million women are unbanked, and millions more rely on informal or high-cost financial services. Even in countries with established banking systems, women are more likely to experience gaps in access to credit, savings tools, and cross-border financial services.
These barriers become even more pronounced for women in internationally connected families – where income, care, and responsibility often move across borders.
For many households, cross-border support pays for:
- School fees and education materials
- Medical expenses and ongoing care
- Rent, utilities, and day-to-day essentials
- Small business investment and entrepreneurship
When that support is slow, expensive, or unpredictable, it directly affects women’s ability to plan, invest, and move forward.

Distance shouldn’t limit support
Migration, global work and international families are part of everyday life. Financial systems should reflect that reality.
For those sending or receiving support across borders, transparency and reliability matter. Clear fees and predictable delivery help turn practical support into real empowerment.
At Paysend, we see this every day — people supporting mothers, daughters, partners, mentors and friends across thousands of miles. These transfers are about continuity, care and control.
Looking forward
International Women’s Day is a reminder that progress is shared. When women move forward, families are stronger. Communities are more resilient. Economies are more sustainable.
Supporting that progress means focusing on access — to opportunity, to security, and to financial tools that work in real life.
Start this March: get 2 fee-free international transfers. Because when women move forward, we all do.
