Actually, the whole process relies on a process named Blockchain Technology. Blockchain Technology is nothing but a network of many specialized computers which are connected to each other to complete the whole transaction process. It ensures from where the money is sent and who is supposed to receive the money. It also can exchange the money from the real currency into bitcoin depending on that particular country currency. The whole transaction process is divided into those computers which are involved in the whole process.
