Can you send money to friends and family using a Visa gift card

[Luhan]

Hello I was wondering if you could use a Visa gift card to send money to family and friends since I can't add the money in the gift card to my account. This is actually my first time using this option to send money and I just want to know if you can or do I have to send the money through my bank account. Which doesn't make much sense since I have money in the gift card I want to use to send.

Hi Luhan,

Thanks for reaching out to us here, and welcome to the community!

You can use the card to send a friends and family payment, but please bear in mind that friend and family payments sent using a card will be assessed a fee, typically 2.9%+.30. If you were to send this payment using a bank account, no fee would be assessed.

I hope this helps!
