What is the cheapest way to send money to Philippines

dhome1105

..without using credit cards and how much is the cost?

mmojunkies

You said no credit cards right? Well why not a prepaid debit card -- it's for me the cheapest way to Money Transfer to Philippines. Look for a visa debit card, in particular, to make sure you have many available branches to deposit and withdraw the money you send.

Hi a new company has started in Angeles City called Ko-Kard its a free card backed by BDO that your family member can get with one ID only its free and can be used directly at any ATM. Its a debit card and cheaper rates than Western Union. Much more convenient than having go to a WU remittance office with IDs, because its a debit card it can be used for direct purchases wherever Mastercard is accepted. You can check it out at www.ko-kard.com or email me here [email protected]

Sa mga filipino stores, mura lang magpadala ng pera sa pinas. $8 lang ang charge nila for metro mla destination (door to door) or $10 sa bank account mu (manila). Pag provincial ang destination $15 ata ang charge nila. 1-2days lang nandun na sa pinas pero kung nagmamadali western union na 25-35 ata ang charge. Maganda pa yung rate ng mga pilipino stores kasi almost updated sila sa market rates. Cash lang ang tinatanggap nila or bank deposit sa acct nila.

tama ka ganun nga..
pero pwede naman sana fix ang transaction fee.. kasi kikita nmn sila sa exchange rate pag mas marami kang pinadala...

parang tax lang.. haha.. pwde nmn fix percentage.. kasi pag tumaas nmn ang sweldo taas din ang amount ng tax amount... so parang double punishment ung pagtaas ng % sa pagtaas ng salary..

oh well.. wala lang.. hehe

oh well.. wala lang.. hehe

yup, ayun nga maganda sa forexworld. fix lang yung transaction fee kahit magkano pa ipadala mo.

dito sa singapore....fixed din ang remittance pero 4sgd lang ang fee for most of the remittance centers. minsan pag mataas ang ipapadala mo...pwede mo i-sweet talk yung nasa counter para bigyan ka ng "special rate" para mas mataas ang palitan na ibibgay syo compared dun sa advertised exchange rate for the day. meron din kayang ganito sa australia? hehe

Just tried it today --- sending money to Philippines through western union online at zero 0 bank charge. Its so efficient...next day clearing to any banks in the Philippines in any currency with no minimum amount! --- http://www.westernunion.com.au

I am just so glad to have found this, coz doing it over the counter charges $14 sayang diba?

...At least I am able to send the whole amount to target recipient (a nonprofit organization i used to work with in the Philippines)...Its just small amount to share to victims of typhoon Bopha or Pablo and make a difference this Christmas! To those interested, I hope its okey with you if I share the site http://inspirationaltravel.blogspot.com.au/p/appeal-by-philippines.html

Thank you. Have a meaningful Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year everyone!

Wow ok pala gamitin din ang western union

Metaform

Anyone tried Pinoy First? Are they good?

akino

Im using 'Kwarta o Kahon'.. it's a Canberra based and pinoy cash remittance, parcel delivery and/or pre-arranged balikbayan order and delivery. for more info you can visit their website:

www.kwartaokahon.com

charge nila $8.0 within metro manila, $10 outside mm

hanzyboy

First time ko magremit and I used forexworld, ok naman within an hour or two napadala na agad yun pera sa bank account.

scarletta12

that's great hmd8, you were able to use western union without charges :-)
I'll visit the site today

jayjee09

anyone tried www.PinoyFirst.com.au ? they got cheaper transfer fee i heard?

elena05

parang tingin ko mas mura using paypal... kailangan lang may eon card sa union bank... 250 php lang ang kaltas sa pagtransfer mula sa paypal account papunta sa card

Metaform

anyone tried www.PinoyFirst.com.au ? they got cheaper transfer fee i heard?

I did. First transfer they gave me 50% off, so that's $3 (originally $6) transfer fee. Mabilis naman sila magpadala within hours andun na sa specified Philippine bank account.

apc

when choosing remittance company. consider niyo rin yung exchange rate...hindi lang yung remittance fee. For example,

Forexworld.com.au charges $8 but exchange rate today is P40=$1
Pinoyfirst.com.au charges $6 and $7(for banks outside Manila) but exhange rate today is P39.85=$1

so kung malaki ang amount na e-transfer mo, you are better of with forexworld
Forexworld ginagamit ko kasi my bank is outside Manila so maliit lang difference sa remittance rate sa pinoyfirst. ang ginagawa ko para makatipid sa remittance fee ay once a month lang ako nagpapadala pero malaking amount instead na weekly or forthnight
