What banks in Brazil provide cash pick-up, also can you debit my account in the USA to pay for my transaction, or can I transfer from that account into your account to pay?
Hi John,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well for you. :)
Before I answer your question, just a friendly reminder: please note that we are not affiliated with Viamericas or any company we feature on our site and so we can only offer you general advice.
If you are going to use a bank in Brazil, a bank-to-bank transfer will directly add the fund to your account. Whether you pick-up the money or not, it will be in your account. So, technically, you can pick up your money by simply withdrawing it from your bank account.
You can pay with your bank account, credit card or debit card online and have the funds transferred. So, yes, you can use your debit card to pay for your money transfer transaction. You don’t need to transfer your account money to Viamericas account since your money will directly be sent to your recipient.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
