Sending money from Canada to the USA is easy with Cashflow.io. Here are the steps

  5. Enter the recipient's bank details OR send the recipient a payment link (this will enable the recipient to enter their own banking credentials through the payment link via Email and/or SMS TXT).
  6. Optional steps: You can add an extra layer of security by using a Secret Message and adding an approver for this transaction. You can also attach invoices and other supporting documents as well.
    • Secret Message: You can rely on setting up a secret word or phrase with your Recipient to secure your wire transfer. You should only share this secret message with the recipient in a separate email or by phone. Never include it in the Notes.
    • Approver: You can ensure that all the details are correct by adding an approver.
    • Attachments:  Simply drag and drop the files in the designated area in the form to upload invoices and other supporting documents.
  7. Click Send Payment to complete the transaction.
