The fastest ways to earn £400 by referring friends to Zing

You’ll be hard pressed to find another sign-up bonus that’s as good as Zing’s for your international money needs. 

This month of May (until the 31st May 2024 23:59 GMT to be precise), if you get your friend to sign up to the international money app Zing, and they successfully open an account and make a £5 minimum card payment, you’ll both get £20. 

What’s better than that? Well, you can gain a maximum of £400 when you refer up to 20 people successfully. But of course, there’s no cap to how many people you can refer – they’ll all still get £20 for being referred.

You can read our article that covers exactly what you and your friend need to do.

But remember, the good times extend beyond this referral bonus. You can use Zing to send money internationally with no transfer fees, withdraw GBP at UK ATMs for free and get one Zing fee free international ATM withdrawal every month. That’s on top of many other great value rewards and partnerships, free and unlockable, waiting for you within the app.

Want to maximize this offer? Here are some great tips for hitting those referral numbers.

1. Be that guy talking about FX payments

It can be uncomfortable to be a walking, talking advert. But when the getting’s this good, it’s worth shouting about. 

Looking for a conversation starter? Got an awkward silence to fill? Tell them about Zing’s referral offer and share them your unique referral link to get them started. 

You need to update your app and find your link from the homepage’s side menu. Then tap the button at the bottom of the screen to get to your link (and choose the way you want to share it).

2. Turn your Zing referral link into a QR code

Don’t fancy the faff of a link? There are sites out there to turn any link into a unique QR code for free, such as QR Code Generator or even ones from Adobe or Canva. 

This is great for sharing in-person. Your friend scans your QR code with their device to go straight to the page from your unique referral link. The link is a form that asks for their mobile phone number to make sure they get their referral bonus.

3. Hit up your friend and family group chats

Your unique referral link to invite people comes with a pre-populated message (and URL). 

You can share this in many ways to WhatsApp, email, text and more. You can easily paste the message anywhere you need and edit the text as you see fit. 

Everyone’s got those big family group chats, especially people who have family internationally. Drop your unique referral link in there and explain all the great stuff they get with the worry-free international money app Zing – easy money transfers, effortless travel card spending, holding a wealth of international currencies… and with our low 0.2% currency conversion fees right now, it’s a no-brainer to give Zing a spin.

4. Put your money transfer app referral link to work

Most companies have got those internal groups to talk about life outside of work. You know the ones, where people flog old bikes and advertise sublets. 

Think about dropping your Zing unique referral link in there. There’s a good chance most or all of your colleagues are going to take a holiday so Zing’s travel-friendly FX rates and smart card will be right up their street. 

Make sure when they do open an account successfully, they make their £5 card spend in May, such as buying in-store, online or with Apple Pay / Google Pay. This doesn’t need to be a FX transaction, spending in the UK in GBP is enough to qualify.  

5. Take your efforts promoting Zing’s currency card public

If you’re feeling bold, promote your unique referral links in forums where the depth of your connection with potential referees is low like Reddit or LinkedIn (we’ve seen plenty of people do this on the Internet such as Reddit’s r/beermoney). 

You may find you’ll hit £400 faster than you think.

Zing is so much more than a free £20 boost

The thing about Zing is that it isn’t some random money app. It’s a free money transfer and smart multi-currency travel card designed for living your best international life. With low rates and fees on converting currencies, no fees on making international transfers and an app to control your wallets, card activity and how to use your international money, Zing will definitely give you more value than a £20 sign-on bonus.

Even if you have no plans to travel any time soon, using the card in the UK is still a sweet deal with no Zing fees on ATM withdrawals in GBP. Not to mention a bunch of upcoming rewards and features to make sending and spending money internationally even easier.

For example, our recent reward with Booking.com where you can get up to 10% off select stays.
