Xoom: Send Money Abroad and Earn $25 Bonus (Expired)

Updated on Jan 15, 2020: Xoom current referral program is on pause as of January 14th while they make exciting changes. A new Xoom referral program is coming soon!


Xoom is a member of the PayPal family. They offer fast, easy, and secure ways to send money, reload phones, and pay bills for family and friends around the world.


If you invite a Canadian friend to try Xoom, you both can get CAD $25 bonus with Paypal if their first transaction is an international transfer of CAD $50 or more (excluding transaction fee). If you don't have a Xoom account now, you can use our referral link to register a new account for your first transaction: https://refer.xoom.com/s/boyan Then you will have your own referral link to invite other friends. Thanks.

After you click the referral link above, you will see the page below. You can choose to log in using your Paypal account or sign up a new Xoom account.


If you log in using Paypal, you can choose "Send to friends abroad" => "Deposit to a bank account" as your first Xoom transaction to earn this $25 bonus.



I have a friend living in USA, so I decided to send him CAD $51 for test. You need to make sure that the money you sent is in CAD at this step. And the Xoom transaction fee is CAD $3. So, the bonus you earn from this transaction is actually $25-$3 = $22.


In the next step, you need to choose the transaction method. I used the "Bank Deposit".


Xoom has all the major US banks information in their system. If you send to a small bank that is not listed, you need to input the recipient bank account information and recipient information (name, address, phone number, email etc).


The procedures are pretty straight forward. You recipient will receive the amount you sent in a few business days. And you will receive this CAD $25 bonus in your Paypal account.

BTW, If anyone wants to leave his/her Xoom referral link below, please use the following format ONLY: "My Xoom referral link is: ******* " Other format will be deleted. Thanks. Note: because it contains link, we need to approve referral comments one by one. So, please be patient...
