Blockchain payments cost pennies on the dollar, which is what’s making them so popular for sending money abroad. In Zypto App, you can send USDT abroad from your own USDT wallet, and where it lands depends on the route you pick. Your family can receive USDT in a wallet of their own, receive local currency in a Pix or Nequi account, or have a bill or phone top-up paid for them, and you fund each route from the same wallet.
Three ways to send USDT abroad
Which route fits depends on where your family lives and whether they already use crypto.
Send USDT to their wallet. Ask for their USDT address on the network they use, then send from your balance on that same network, following our step-by-step guide to sending USDT.
If your USDT is on a different network from theirs, change it in Zypto App first: USDT on Ethereum becomes USDT on Tron in three taps, across 1,000,000+ crosschain routes, with no external bridge to find. Swaps take from 30 seconds to 15 minutes, depending on the blockchains involved.
Once it arrives, they hold dollars in a wallet they control, which can matter where the local currency is under pressure, as we cover in saving in dollars with USDT.
Send local currency to their Pix or Nequi account. In Brazil and Colombia, Pay abroad converts your USDT and pays your family in their own currency, over Pix in Brazil or through Nequi in Colombia. Recipients don’t need crypto, and in Brazil you paste their Pix key to send to a person. Funds typically arrive in 3 to 30 seconds.
Pay their bills or top up their phone. You can pay anyone’s bill in 120+ countries with USDT, straight from Zypto App (network gas fees apply), and bills are completed within 48 hours. For phone credit, enter any supported number in any supported country and send mobile credit abroad from your wallet, across 170+ countries and 800+ operators. The credit goes straight to the number you choose, and USDT is one of the 100+ cryptocurrencies you can pay with.
What your family can do with USDT in Zypto App
If your family receives USDT in Zypto App, it goes further than a transfer. They can pay their own bills, buy gift cards from thousands of top brands, top up phones, and load a Zypto Premium VISA Card with USDT, which converts to local currency when it’s loaded, to use wherever Visa is accepted. The full list is in how to spend USDT.
What to check before you send
Match the network first. A USDT address on one blockchain isn’t the same as an address on another, and a transfer sent to the wrong one can go missing. Our lesson on why the same token lives on different blockchains covers how that works. Confirm the network with your family before you send, and for a first transfer to a new wallet, send a small test amount and wait for it to arrive.
Read the details before you confirm. Pay abroad payments are immediate and can’t be reversed, so look over the recipient details and the rate you’re shown first.
Check what’s live where they are. Pay abroad covers Brazil and Colombia, top-ups cover 170+ countries, bill pay covers 120+, and rules on receiving and converting crypto can differ between countries, so check what applies where your family lives.
Send USDT abroad from one app
Zypto App holds your USDT in self-custody across a wide range of blockchains, swaps it between networks in the app, sends it on the network you choose, pays Pix and Nequi in local currency, and covers bills, gift cards, phone top-ups and the Zypto Premium VISA Card from the same wallet. Whichever route you choose, you can send USDT abroad from the wallet you already have.
