Three Great Ways to Send Money to The Philippines - - - Or Hundreds of Other Countries

Three Great Ways  to  Send Money to  The Philippines
(Or Hundreds of Other Countries)
Xoom Fast - Reliable - Cheap:   I recommend Xoom when you are in a hurry or now for repeat needs as they have many convenient locations to pick-up the money throughout The Philippines.  Their rates are lower than iKobo and Western Union. Be sure to set-up their "Value Service" Details
iKobo VISA Debit Card:   I recommend iKobo when you will be sending money to the same person many times and you not in a hurry.  They still have an ATM card that is rechargeable as needed.  I have received some complaints about Ikobo so be careful.  Details
Western Union Industry Leader:   If you do now feel comfortable with the above companies, or if Western Union has a closer location then use the most proven money transfer company in the world. They do not require a phone number for recipient.  ( Many of my site customers still prefer Western Union )  Details

Send 2 dozen roses for $20 less than 1 dozen sent using FTD, 1-800-Flowers, etc. Less than $45 total including shipping, taxes and delivery almost anywhere in The Philippines.

We are reviewing other services like RemitHome and will make recommendations as they are earned. Right now our concern with Remit Home is they are new with limited resources and require too much personal information from customers. Purposely or accidentally that could too easily lead to customer identity thief. Jean

  Go Xoom  
Xoom is a great way to send money to The Philippines, India or a number of other countries. In The Philippines, the cash can be picked up at over 400 Equitable PCI Bank locations, plus now hundreds of other locations as well.  FREE delivery is also available in many areas. Xoom is much less than Western Union especially on small amounts like under $200 the fee is usually half that of Western Union (i.e. send $50 for only a $5 fee).  Even on larger amounts the savings are substantial and in many cases the locations are much more convenient as Equitable PCI Bank has branches in small towns and shopping areas all over The Philippines.  While you need Internet access and a bank account or credit/debit card to make a transaction, the recipient does not need either a bank account or Internet connection to get the money.  You will receive an email notification when the money has been delivered or picked up.

They have an arrangement with PayPal to actually transfer the money.  PayPal offers ease and flexibility, accepting all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express), as well as all major debit cards and direct transfers. PayPal successfully completes over 600,000 transactions per day with over 50 million accounts in 38 countries worldwide. I have used PayPal for seven years without even a single problem - I highly recommend them.  And Equitable PCI Bank is very respectable Bank in Philippines so use the Xoom service with confidence.   Go Xoom           Jean

Hi Jean,

I used Xoom from your link, to send some money to my wife Liza in Davao City. It worked great! Thanks for letting us know about this excellent alternative to Western Union.

Jean, the best way to send money to the Philippines is through iKoBo, it is only $4.00 for $50.00 ... The recipient gets an ATM card that they can use in ATMs or as a debit card in stores... The transfer is instantaneous and no fee for converting from $ to Peso. Check it out!  That is what I use all the time now!

I recommend Ikobo when you will be sending money to the same person many times.  You can send money online using your current credit/debit card.  iKobo then sends the person receiving the money a Free Visa Debit Card (called an i-Kard).  This can take several days. The person receiving the money goes to any Visa Plus ATM to withdraw the cash, or uses it to purchase from any Visa merchant worldwide.  The i-Kard is re-usable. Once the person has an i-Kard, they can receive money from anyone, anywhere in the world - in less than 30 seconds. Of course there are transaction fees and a monthly maintenance fee for the card, so read the agreement carefully.    Go

 Western Union®   is a global leader in money transfer and message services, with a history of pioneering service dating back more than 150 years.  They also have many locations all over Philippines and a reasonable number in Hong Kong.  While most other services require a telephone number for the recipient, Western Union does not have that requirement.  This is important as so many here do not have a telephone. 

I recommend them even though their fees are usually higher as they are proven by years of experience, and I have found them very reliable.    Go
