So what is a SEPA bank transfer?
Traditionally a SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) is a European payments network that enables you to send and receive payments in euros (€) between two cross-border bank accounts in the Eurozone, making it as easy and affordable as making a domestic bank transfer.
With Paysend’s international bank transfers, customers can move money via a SEPA just as quickly and affordably all over the world!
How to make international bank transfers via SEPA
When selecting to send money via a bank transfer Paysend automatically creates a temporary account for the corresponding banking partner.
By providing an invoice with a temporary SEPA account number, customers can transfer funds from a payment method of their choosing to this account, available for three business days, allowing your recipient to receive the funds automatically hassle-free.
Customers must transfer the exact amount they want their recipient to receive. The temporary account will reject any bank transfers contrary to the predetermined value.
Should you initiate a SEPA transfer of €500 and instead send €501 from your bank account, the SEPA transfer would cancel.
The transfer status will be visible on your profile.

If you're looking to send money to Brazil, you may come across the term “Pix payments.” Pix itself is a domestic payment system.

When comparing international money transfer services, many people assume that using the mid-market exchange rate automatically means a cheaper transfer. The logic seems straightforward: if the exchange rate reflects the midpoint used in global currency markets, the overall cost should be lower. In reality, however, the total transfer cost depends not only on the exchange rate but also on how the provider structures its fees.
