Frequently Asked Questions

Is Paysend available in UAE?

Paysend has offered services to UAE residents. Verify current UAE availability, supported corridors, and regulatory status directly at paysend.com and centralbank.ae. Availability and features can change.

How does Paysend work?

Paysend is primarily a card-to-card transfer service — you send money using your debit or credit card and the recipient receives funds on their debit card. Paysend charges a fixed fee per transfer (rather than a percentage), with the exchange rate including a margin above the market rate. The fixed-fee model can be competitive on smaller amounts.

Is Paysend cheaper than Wise?

Paysend's fixed fee can be competitive on smaller transfers. Wise charges a percentage fee but uses the exact market rate; Paysend charges a fixed fee but the exchange rate includes a margin. To compare fairly, look at the total recipient amount — not just the fee. For larger amounts, Wise's rate advantage often outweighs any fee difference.

What countries can I send to from UAE with Paysend?

Paysend supports over 170 countries. Key corridors from UAE include India, Pakistan, Philippines, UK, Europe, and others. Verify specific corridor availability at paysend.com — not all corridors support card-to-card delivery.
