Pros and cons
Pros
- A flat, predictable charge of 1 USD per transaction applies to every transaction you send
- Delivery is Instant (seconds, wallet-to-wallet), so the balance moves between wallets without a wait
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a person is a call or an email away
- The service runs under Par Telecoms Telecom, based in South Africa, as a digital wallet
Cons
- Payouts run to wallet only, so a recipient outside the wallet cannot be paid
- A flat 1 USD per transaction charge per send adds up on frequent small transfers
- The wallet-to-wallet route covers a single market rather than a broad remittance network
Who it suits
- People sending money to another Par Telecoms wallet
- Users who want a predictable flat charge per transfer
- People who prefer phone and help centre support alongside email
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone paying out to a bank account, who should look at Paysera or Skrill instead
- People sending a single large sum, where a flat 1 USD per transaction charge adds little value
- PayPal Colombia or Skrill users who need a broader choice of pay-out options

Frequently asked questions
What does Par Telecoms charge to send money?+
Each transfer costs 1 USD per transaction, a flat charge that does not change with the amount sent. There is no account fee or monthly charge listed for the wallet, so the per transaction figure is the whole cost of using the service.
How quickly does the money arrive?+
Delivery is Instant (seconds, wallet-to-wallet), so the balance lands in the other wallet within seconds. That speed depends on both sender and recipient already having a Par Telecoms wallet.
How can I get the money out once it arrives?+
Payouts are made to wallet only, so the money is credited to a wallet rather than a bank account or card. Anyone who needs a bank transfer should look at a service with bank payouts.
How do I get help if a transfer goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can call, email or use the help centre. Phone support is the fastest route for a transfer that has not shown up on the recipient side.
Which company runs Par Telecoms and where is it based?+
The service is run by Par Telecoms Telecom, based in South Africa. The wallet and send money pages are aimed at users of that domestic wallet network rather than a global remittance service.
Is Par Telecoms suitable for sending money abroad?+
The service covers a single market and pays out to wallet only, so it is built for wallet-to-wallet sends on that network. For cross-border payouts to a bank account, Paysera or Skrill cover more ground.
Is there a limit on how much I can send?+
The stated cost is 1 USD per transaction per transaction and delivery is Instant (seconds, wallet-to-wallet), but no deposit or send cap is listed. A flat charge also means the per transaction cost stays the same on a small or a large transfer.
How does the flat charge compare with percentage fees?+
A flat 1 USD per transaction charge is predictable, unlike the percentage fees that scale with the amount sent. Skrill, for example, charges by percentage and by payment method, which suits larger transfers better than a flat charge.
