When getting ready for a trip, we usually check the obvious things: passport, tickets, hotel reservation, insurance, and a phone charger. When it comes to money, it seems simple: I’ll just take some dollars with me and exchange them when I get there.
But that’s exactly where the problems start. Exchange rates abroad are almost always unfavorable, so you end up overpaying for every purchase. And carrying a large amount of cash is a whole other worry: even a hotel safe isn’t always reliable, and it’s a bit scary to carry it all around with you. So it turns out that it’s worth thinking about money in advance—calmly, while you’re still at home.
You need to call a taxi from the airport; there’s a QR code at the counter in the café; the hotel asks for payment via bank transfer; and your friend has already settled the group bill and is waiting for his share. These situations may seem ordinary, but when you’re abroad, each one requires a little more preparation. DoverkaSEND helps you set up all your payment needs for the trip in advance: top up your balance, send money, and pay for purchases using local QR codes wherever this feature is available.
Why You Should Prepare in Advance
It’s best to install the app you’ll use to make payments abroad ahead of time, rather than when you urgently need money. After a long flight, you might not have a stable internet connection, your phone’s battery might be running low, and verification codes might arrive late. Add to that the noise, the line, and the taxi waiting at the exit—and even the smallest things start to get on your nerves.
Things are calmer at home. You have time to install DoverkaSEND, create an account, complete identity verification, and take your time figuring out where the main sections are. It doesn’t take much effort, but it significantly reduces the number of questions you’ll have once you’re on the road. When the app is set up in advance, you don’t have to figure it out at the ticket counter or in the car—you just open the section you need and know exactly what to do.
Where to Start
Start with the basics—install DoverkaSEND and create an account. After that, make sure you can log in to the app without any issues, that your phone number is active, that you’re receiving verification codes, and that your personal information is entered correctly. These are basic steps, but they’re the ones where people most often run into problems at the worst possible moment.
The next step is identity verification. This is a standard procedure for any financial service: it links transactions to the account holder and grants access to the app’s features. It’s best to complete the verification process at home, in a well-lit area with a stable internet connection. You’ll usually need to provide a document and a photo, and the app will guide you through each step.
Topping Up via SBP
One of DoverkaSEND’s key features is topping up your balance via SBP. Before your trip, it’s a good idea to open this section at least once and familiarize yourself with how it works: where the top-up process begins, what steps the app guides you through, and where you can check the status of the transaction afterward.
It may seem like a small thing, but when you're on the road, it's precisely these little things that set the tone. It's one thing to figure everything out calmly at home, but it's quite another to be searching for the right button for the first time just when it's time to pay for a taxi or a bill at a café.
Where QR Code Payments Come in Handy
In Asian countries, QR codes are everywhere: in cafes, taxis, hotels, stores, and small local businesses. For locals, this is just as common a way to pay as a bank card is for us.
At first, all of this seems unfamiliar to a visitor: at the register, there’s a QR code instead of a payment terminal; the driver doesn’t ask for cash but shows you the payment details; and even a small store easily accepts payment via the code. DoverkaSEND helps you make these everyday payments right from the app—QR code payments are already available in 8 Asian countries, and that list is constantly growing. You can always check the current list of countries on the website or in the app. So before you travel, it’s a good idea to find this section in advance and see how you
You should also plan for money transfers
While traveling, you’ll encounter payments that aren’t processed at a cash register: rent, a security deposit, a local service, a transfer to a friend, or a payment to someone with a local bank account. Neither cash nor a payment terminal will work here—you’ll need to make a transfer.
DoverkaSEND offers transfers to local bank accounts. If you know in advance that you might need to make such a payment, ask for the account details before your trip: the recipient’s name, bank, account number, and amount. That way, you won’t have to rush to gather the information through messages when the person is already waiting for the money.
Don't Forget About Internet Connectivity
Making payments abroad depends not only on money, but also on internet connectivity. You need an internet connection to open the app, receive a confirmation code, add funds to your account, check the status of a transaction, or contact customer support. So decide in advance how you'll stay connected: through roaming, a local SIM card, an eSIM, or Wi-Fi.
The eSIM in DoverkaSEND is available for all destinations, so you can set it up before your flight. This is especially helpful on the first day, when you need to get to your hotel and stay connected, rather than having to look for a cell phone store right after your flight.
Support and Safety
Before your trip, save DoverkaSEND’s official channels so you’ll always know where to turn if something goes wrong.
Don’t share verification codes, don’t send documents to random chat rooms, and don’t click on suspicious links. And if you have any doubts, there’s always in-app support: they respond very quickly and can help with any question—whether it’s about logging in, adding funds, making a transfer, or checking the status of a transaction. The rule is simple, but it’s especially important when you’re abroad: it’s much easier to make a mistake when you’re tired and in a hurry.
Cash Will Still Come in Handy
Even if you use an app, it’s best to have a backup payment method on hand. A small café might not have a signal, your phone might run out of battery, or some places might only accept cash—or QR codes and transfers might be temporarily unavailable.
Good travel preparation means having several practical options rather than relying on just one method. DoverkaSEND handles top-ups, payments, and transfers, while cash serves as a backup for everyday situations.
In Short
Before your trip, you should install DoverkaSEND in advance, create an account, complete identity verification, check how to add funds via the Secure Payment System (SPS), and familiarize yourself with money transfers and payments via QR code. That way, once you arrive, you won’t have to figure everything out all at once—communication, taxis, hotels, money, transfers, and your first dinner after a long journey.
And when it comes to money, there’s no need to worry: DoverkaSEND is with you every step of the way—from your first taxi ride from the airport all the way home! So pack your bags, discover new countries, and enjoy every day. Have a safe trip and make the most of your experiences!
