How to send money

  1. 1
    Choose a provider

    Compare fees, exchange rates and delivery speed, then pick the option that gets the most money to your recipient.

    Sign up with your chosen provider using your email address or phone number and set a secure password.

  3. 3
    Verify your identity

    Upload a government-issued ID and, where required, proof of address. Verification is a legal requirement and usually takes a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Follow the transfer status in your account or app and receive a notification when the funds arrive.
