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.

Why International Money Transfers Fail – and How Often It Happens

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.
