How to Send Money with a Debit Card

7 minutes

Looking for ways to send money, it is essential to consider not only the fees and transfer time, but the starting point of any money transfer - whether you want to send cash, use a bank account or credit/debit card.

The majority of online services facilitate money transfers from debit cards, however, such an option is usually not available for all countries.

Western Union, one of the most renowned money transfer services, has a handy transfer calculator and allows users to send money online with a debit card, but for most European destinations delivery is available only in cash.

Paysend’s sending and delivery options include debit cards, but unless you register with the service, it is impossible to see if delivery to a debit/credit card is available in your destination country. Additionally, the transaction fee is proportional to the sending amount.

In addition to money transfers, Wise offers multi-currency accounts and debit cards. However, to see your sending and receiving options, you will have to register with the service first. Transfers to bank accounts is a lengthy process and the company informs that additional fees may be charged depending on the country of the recipient’s bank account.
