Sending money or paying directly —
what's the difference?

When you send money, you hope. When you pay directly with ElyonPay, you know.

Sending money

  • You send money… and hope it will be used properly
  • No traceability: impossible to know where the funds go
  • Risk of misuse or misappropriation of funds
  • No proof the money was used for the intended purchase
  • Variable reception times — sometimes several days
  • No receipt, no proof of use
VS

ElyonPay Diaspora

  • You pay the seller, school, or hospital directly — funds reach exactly their destination
  • Full traceability: you see exactly where each payment goes
  • Zero risk of misappropriation — funds go exactly where you decide
  • Transparent fees, shown before confirmation — zero surprises
  • Real-time payment — confirmation in under 30 seconds
  • Digital receipt automatically sent to both parties
  💡 ElyonPay complements money transfer services: when you want to pay for something specific — a shop, school, hospital or pharmacy — ElyonPay ensures funds reach exactly their destination, with a receipt for both you and your family member.
