With the new Paysend experience, you can now send money directly to a Paysend account via a phone number. Here's how:
- Log in to your Paysend account.
- Press 'Add recipient' to save their new transfer details.
- Choose their country – for now, this delivery option is available in only a few selected countries.
- If transfers to a Paysend account are supported in your recipient's country, you will see the 'Via mobile number' option – select it.
- Follow instructions on screen to finish the transfer.
If your recipient hasn't yet registered with Paysend, they will receive an SMS with a registration link, which they can use to sign up. It's important that the mobile number they use for registration matches the one you specified when making a transfer.
Once your recipient opens a Paysend account, they will see the money on their balance. Depending on their country, they will be able to withdraw it or open a Paysend card and use it for spending.
SMS not delivered
Getting the SMS with a link is not the only way to register at Paysend. Your recipient can simply download the Paysend app from the App Store or Google Play and sign up on their own to get your transfer.
