Independent RedotPay guide

International payments,
without the usual friction.

I've been using RedotPay myself in Maldives and Thailand for everyday payments, online purchases and spending while travelling.

This page documents what I've tested, what works for me, and the limitations I've found.

A practical limitation

The Maldives problem is a little different.

For me, making the payment is only one part of the problem.

The harder question in Maldives is getting from MVR into usable international spending power efficiently.

RedotPay does not magically remove that funding problem.

I'm continuing to test the available routes, costs, fees and practical limitations and will update this page with what I learn.
