Paysafecash bridges cash and digital banking: you deposit physical money at a participating store, and it lands in your account for online bills, top-ups, or everyday spending. It suits anyone who prefers not to put card details on every website but still wants their balance in an app they control.
What is Paysafecash?
Paysafecash is a cash-in payment method from the Paysafe group. Instead of paying a website with a card, you fund a payment or your account by handing cash to a retail partner. The network includes hundreds of thousands of partner locations across more than 30 countries, often convenience stores or payment counters you already visit.
Merchants and services use Paysafecash for invoices, loan repayments, online purchases, and account top-ups. For consumers, the appeal is control: you limit what leaves your pocket in cash, avoid sharing card numbers on unfamiliar sites, and can add money outside traditional banking hours at many locations.
How Paysafecash works
The exact steps depend on whether you are paying a bill or depositing into your bank, but the pattern is similar.
Start online: Choose Paysafecash at checkout or in your banking app and generate a barcode or payment reference.
Visit a store: Go to a participating retailer, show the barcode, and pay the exact cash amount the system displays.
Confirmation: The partner confirms the payment; funds or order status update according to the service you used.
For retail staff, the flow is scan barcode, enter the fixed amount (changing the amount usually fails the transaction), collect cash, then confirm. Customers receive a receipt. Because the amount is fixed when the barcode is created, double-check the figure on your phone before you pay at the counter.
Paysafecash vs. cards and ATMsEach option fits different habits.
Cards are fastest for online checkout and subscriptions. See Credit Card and bunq Cards for everyday digital spending.
ATMs withdraw cash from your balance; ATM withdrawals and deposits depend on your plan and local ATM support.
Paysafecash adds cash to your digital balance through shops, useful where card top-ups are awkward or you want to fund your account without a card transfer.
Paysafecash is not anonymous: regulated flows tie deposits to your identity through your Paysafe and bank accounts. It is a convenience and budgeting tool, not a way to bypass legal reporting.
Depositing with Paysafecash through bunq
In the bunq app, open add money and choose Paysafecash. The first time, bunq helps set up a Paysafe account; if you already have one, sign in with those credentials. You receive a barcode you can save as PDF, add to your phone wallet, or send by SMS or email.
Take that barcode to a Paysafecash partner store and pay the shown amount in cash. After the store confirms the deposit, the money appears in your Bank Account for Payments, savings, or card spending. If anything fails at the counter, staff can usually help; keep your receipt until the balance updates.
Pair cash deposits with secure banking habits: Instant Notifications on incoming money, strong app login, and card freeze if you lose your phone.
Common questions
Are there fees for Paysafecash?Fees depend on the partner, country, and whether bunq or the retailer charges for cash services. Check the amount on screen before you pay at the store.
How fast does cash show in bunq?
Most deposits credit shortly after the store confirms payment. Delays can happen if the amount paid does not match the barcode or the network is slow; contact support with your receipt if the wait seems unusual.
Can I withdraw cash with Paysafecash?
Paysafecash is primarily for cash-in payments and deposits. To take cash out, use an ATM or other withdrawal options available on your bunq plan.
