We’ve partnered with Plaid to make our transfers even easier!
Here at Paysend we want to make it as simple as possible for you to add payment information and send money abroad.
Because let’s face it, nobody likes spending ages entering lots of long card numbers, and entering usernames and passwords when you’re directed to your banking app. We can all agree we’ve got much more interesting things to be getting on with.
Plaid is an open finance platform that helps people connect their bank accounts to digital finance apps and make payments from them. Connecting an account is the first step to using Paysend to credit an account and send money.
Both Paysend and Plaid believe payments should be seamless, and so we decided to join forces!
When adding your bank details in the Paysend app, you’ll be asked to authenticate this in your online banking app. Plaid speeds this up by automatically connecting your bank account to the Paysend app, meaning that you don’t have to enter your username and password to access your account. Once connected, you’ll be able to send money in seconds directly from your account, without searching for card or bank numbers.
Thanks to Plaid, our money transfers are much simpler and faster!
