SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) September 09, 2021 - Global end-to-end payments provider, Paysend, launched its United States operations in September 2020 and since then, outbound transfer volume has increased over 140%. To celebrate its first U.S. anniversary, Paysend announced today that it is hosting its first ever WeConnect Sweepstakes where five grand prize winners will receive $1,000 and an additional five runner-ups will receive $500 each to send to their loved ones abroad via Paysends app.

The WeConnect Sweepstakes will begin on September 7th, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. EDT and is open to all legal residents of the U.S. and the District of Columbia who are 18 years or older. To enter the sweepstakes, participants must upload a thirty-second video during the promotional period that explains why they would like to send money to a friend or family member overseas and how the funds would help the recipients situation. The deadline to submit entries is September 30, 2021 at 5 p.m. EDT.

Participants are also encouraged to share their video on Facebook or Instagram for an additional entry to the contest using the hashtag #PaysendConnects. The winner of the WeConnect Sweepstakes will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries that were received throughout the promotional period.

As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, it continues to cause healthcare crises, economic consequences and personal tragedy around the globe. As a result, loved ones abroad need financial support from friends and family in the U.S. said Matt Montes, U.S. president of Paysend. Paysend wants to pay it forward on our first anniversary by helping Americans support their families overseas.

Paysends goal is to continue reducing economic barriers to entry in the payments market by providing immediate access to transfer money to any card holder around the world, connecting customers to their friends and family overseas.
