How to send money to someone with a debit card

Debit cards are the perfect way to make sure that you don’t spend money you don’t have, which many people do when they have a credit card!

When you use a debit card to make purchases for goods and services, you’re limited to spend however much you’ve got in your account. This is why it’s wise for people who are prone to impulse buying should consider switching from a credit to a debit card!

How to send money to someone with a debit card

It’s really easy to send money to someone with a debit card, because it’s usually linked to a bank account which it takes money from to pay for things online and in-store.

To make a transfer to someone with a debit card via their bank, you’ll need their bank details. When you’ve got these, you can choose whether to send the money using an online or offline method of transfer.

If you choose an offline method, you’ll need to go to a bank, post office or remittance store to send your money. You’ll need to pay the cashier, and fill in a form with your recipient’s bank details. They will then send your money for a fee, and it should arrive in your recipient’s bank account within a few days.Your recipient can then use the funds with their debit card linked to the bank account.

Nigeria’s Global Strength: How Digital Payments Empower a Growing Diaspora

Nigeria’s diaspora is one of the largest and most vibrant in the world. From London to Lagos, New York to Abuja, Nigerians abroad play a critical role in fueling growth back home—through business, education, and, importantly, remittances. In 2024, remittances to Nigeria were about four times the value of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the country. 


Remittances remain a vital lifeline for families and local economies, providing everyday essentials and enabling opportunity. And today, digital payments are transforming how this support is sent: fast, safe, and affordable.

Preserving Culture in a Modern World: How the Philippines’ Indigenous Communities Keep Traditions Alive

Every October, the Philippines celebrates National Indigenous Peoples’ Month, a time to honor the country’s original storytellers, builders and guardians of the land.


Across islands and generations, more than 100 Indigenous communities continue to keep centuries-old traditions alive, from weaving and farming to music, rituals and storytelling. In the mountains of the Cordilleras and the forests of Mindanao, you’ll find practices that have endured for generations. The Ifugao still tend to their ancient rice terraces, the T’boli weave T’nalak from dreams, and the Manobo pass on songs that tell the stories of their ancestors.

But in a world moving faster than ever, these communities face a challenge: how to protect what’s sacred while embracing what’s new.
