TransferGo will use Mastercard's push payment service to support near real-time money transfers for European customers.
The TransferGo/Mastercard Send partnership covers 20 European countries. TransferGo’s customers can use any payment card or bank account and deposit the money directly to a Mastercard debit or credit card in those countries. While the service is being branded as "real-time," the actual posting times will depend on the receiving financial institution.
