Are you living abroad and want to support your family with their daily payments or an unexpected expense? Or perhaps a friend in another country is celebrating a birthday and you would like to contribute to a gift? Maybe the dog shelter in your hometown or another important cause is in urgent need of money? Are you wondering about the cost, timing, the amount received after fees and commission?
We get it - global transfers can be a hassle. Despite recent improvements, sending money cross-border still incurs an average fee of 6.35% of the amount sent. And this issue isn't limited to international transactions; local transfers can also come with inconveniences.
But there is some good news: thanks to the latest technology and increased financial inclusion, there are now ways to avoid these issues. One such solution is MyGuava Card Transfers.
In this blog, we answer all the questions you might have about it.
How Do Card Transfers Work?
You are likely familiar with sending money to someone’s bank account. Perhaps to email addresses or phone numbers. But what about card transfers?
Sending money to cards is a simple and efficient method of transferring funds from your account, your card or your mobile wallet regardless of the recipient's location. All you need is their card number and full name. Once you specify the amount, the funds are transferred directly to their card. The cutting-edge technology behind this process ensures that the money reaches the recipient quickly and securely.
Thanks to our global partner network and advanced payment processors, MyGuava facilitates real-time card transfer processing worldwide.
