Here's the short answer: yes, you can use a credit card to get money into someone's bank account abroad. "Credit card to bank transfer" means exactly that — you fund the transfer with your credit card, and your recipient receives it in their bank account. Or on their card, in their wallet, or as cash to collect, depending on where they are.
The card and the bank account do different jobs. Your card pays for the transfer. A provider like Paysend then pays the money out through local systems on the other end. It's one flow, and it takes about a minute in the app.
One thing worth knowing before you start: a credit card is usually the most expensive way to fund a transfer. Some issuers treat it as a cash advance, and credit tends to carry higher payment fees than debit. You'll always see the full cost, exchange rate included, before you confirm anything. What follows is: the ways your money can arrive, what each one costs, how fast it gets there, and the cheaper routes worth checking first.

Mỗi tháng, hàng nghìn người làm việc tại Séc gửi một phần lương về nhà — nhiều người trong số đó là người Ukraine đang hỗ trợ gia đình ở bên kia biên giới. Và cách làm truyền thống lại khiến việc vốn đơn giản trở nên phức tạp hơn: chuyển khoản ngân hàng yêu cầu mã IBAN và SWIFT, phí chỉ hiện ra sau khi tiền đã được gửi đi, và nhiều ngày chờ đợi trong khi ai đó ở nhà đang trông chờ vào khoản tiền ấy.

Anh là Đồng sáng lập kiêm Tổng biên tập mảng tài chính tại Moneyo.cz — nền tảng độc lập của Séc chuyên so sánh các dịch vụ chuyển tiền, các công ty môi giới chứng khoán và các kênh đầu tư thay thế — đồng thời là Đại sứ Paysend, nghĩa là anh đích thân trải nghiệm mọi thứ mình giới thiệu, giải thích rõ ràng và mang đến cho độc giả những ưu đãi độc quyền.
