Sending money back home is more than a transaction. It’s a way to support family, celebrate milestones, and stay connected across borders. If you’re looking for a practical way to send money to Guatemala today, you’ll want the process to be fast, secure, and simple.

Ways to Send Money to Guatemala

There are different ways you can transfer money: traditional bank wires, cash transfers through agencies, or digital apps. Each has its place, but not all are equally convenient or safe for everyday life. The practical, easy, fast, and secure way to do it is with the Elektra Go app, built to give you confidence and simplicity right from your phone.

Here’s a clear step-by-step guide that makes the process easy with Elektra Go:

1. Download the App

Start by downloading the Elektra Go app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. It’s available right on your phone and ready to use. Your first transfer comes with a $0 fee and a preferential exchange rate. 

2. Create Your Account

Open the app and set up your account in three quick steps. You’ll only need your email, phone number, and some basic information. Once that’s done, your account is ready to go.

3. Add Your Payment Method

Choose how you want to pay for your transfers. You can add a debit card or get your Elektra Go Prepaid Mastercard® (virtual or physical). Use it to pay for your transfers, shop online, or anywhere Debit Mastercard® is accepted.

4. Enter Your Recipient’s Information

Add your family member’s details and choose how they’ll receive the money. Options include cash pickup at Elektra, Banco Azteca, or any of the 90,000+ payment points, as well as direct deposit into a bank account.

5. Confirm, Send, and Track

Review the amount, exchange rate, and fees. Once everything looks good, confirm and send. The best part: you can track the status of your transfer in the app, from the moment you send it until your family picks it up.

Why This Matters

When you send money home, you’re doing more than sending money. You’re providing support that makes a real difference in everyday life, whether it’s helping with bills, celebrating birthdays, or covering unexpected expenses. That’s why it’s important to use a service that feels simple, safe, and built with your needs in mind.

Make the Connection Easy

If Guatemala is where your heart is, sending money doesn’t have to feel complicated. With Elektra Go, you can count on a straightforward experience: an app that’s secure, culturally familiar, and made to help you stay close to the people who matter most.
