The Philippines is one of the world's top remittance destinations. According to the World Bank, Filipino overseas workers sent home about $38 billion in 2023, roughly 9% of the country's GDP. For millions of families these transfers are a lifeline.
Below are live quotes for sending $1,000 to the Philippines, followed by how recipients collect the money.
At $1,000, the exchange rate usually matters more than the fee. A rate 1% below mid-market costs $10, so compare the pesos each provider would deliver.
A provider that advertises a low or zero fee can still be expensive if its exchange rate is below the mid-market rate. Compare the amount your recipient receives.
Recipients commonly receive into a bank account or an e-wallet such as GCash, and some providers also offer cash pickup. Check which of these your provider supports for your recipient before you compare prices.
Crypto routes end at a Philippine exchange such as PDAX, where the recipient sells stablecoins for pesos and withdraws to a bank or wallet. That requires a verified account.
At $1,000, per-transfer limits and extra verification checks are more likely to apply. Complete verification before you send so the transfer is not held up.
