Paysend white paper - Digital money transfers and the empowerment of women
All over the world, gender inequality makes it difficult for women to enjoy the same level of financial independence and inclusion as their male counterparts.
This is most evident in low-income countries, where financial infrastructure, socio-economic situations and prejudiced behavioural attitudes prevent women from taking control of their own financial destiny. Digital money services - particularly digital money transfers - are a way to change this.
Our white paper, entitled Digital money for inclusion. How FinTech is supporting the empowerment of women, explores the importance of digitisation of money transfers in creating a more inclusive financial world for women. By extensively using data from the World Bank and a number of other sources, the white paper aims to connect the dots between financial exclusion, digital money and gender equality.

Sending money abroad should feel simple, but if your international transfer is delayed or not received, it’s natural to wonder what went wrong.
International money transfers can be delayed, held, or returned for several reasons, most commonly due to compliance checks, missing information, processing cut-off times, or intermediary bank reviews. Industry reporting suggests that while the majority of transfers complete successfully, a small but meaningful share requires manual handling or additional processing, which can cause delays.
It’s important to understand that international money transfers involve multiple institutions, compliance checks, and settlement systems. Because of this, delays or exceptions are not unusual and are typically linked to process or regulatory requirements rather than technical failures or user mistakes.
With that in mind, this guide explains why international transfers may not be received as expected, how often this happens and what you can realistically do next.
