Sending Money Online to a Bank Account or Debit Card – What’s the Difference?

Send Money to Mexico through an Eligible Visa Debit Card

Did you know there’s a way to send money to your loved one’s bank account in Mexico in near real-time,* day or night?

Visa technology helps you get money to friends and family overseas.** Just choose “Debit Card Deposit” and enter your recipient’s eligible Visa Debit card number instead of their bank account details and CLABE.

But how is it different than a traditional bank account transfer?

While traditional transfers utilize bank account numbers, or CLABE, and route money through bank networks, Debit Card Deposit uses your loved one’s debit card number and a different technology. This means MoneyGram uses Visa’s global card network to move money fast to the account linked to your recipient’s eligible debit card number, giving you both peace of mind.

No need to worry about bank or cash pickup location hours. The money goes directly into your recipient’s bank account and is usable in 30 minutes or less* soon as it’s posted! It’s fast, easy and reliable.

Try a quick transfer to your friends and family using Debit Card Deposit today!
