Send money from AU to Phil

edited April 2012 in General
Ask ko lang what is the best way to send money from AU to Phil? Also kailangan ba alam ng recipient kung magkano. I want to surprise my mom in Phil. Thanks!

    http://www.citibank.com.au/aus/international_banking/transferring_money.htm or i maybe wrong, hehehe. kung may citi dyan, tanong ka muna tungkol dito. and balitaan mo kami.

    Mayroon dito dating advertisement sa forum, iremit ata yun? Mataas palitan nila ng dolyar sa piso kaya mas malaki yung napapadala mo :)

    @Bryan
    Going thru banks would be the safest and yet would be the most expensive, hence hindi sya value for money, besides wla akong napapansin na citigroup dito sa brisbane tska baka ipag-open pa nila ako ng account. I've tried citigroup, sweldo ko sa bpi manila tapos withdraw ko sa tokyo branches so same day transaction. Mahal din ang withrawal fee nila sa Tokyo kaya iwas muna ako sa citibank/group. Thanks for the input though.

    @LokiJr
    Nagpunta ako sa website nila, its not the most 'customer-friendly' site. Hangang ngaun hindi ko alam kung paano magpadala ng money. Products, service fees, contacts and news events lang yung makikita mu sa website. Hindi man lang sila nag-allocate ng menu for new customers or 'paano magremit process' dun sa website nila.

    Or baka bulag lang ako kaya hindi ko makita yung instruction sa i-remit. Any feedback from this company?

    @Davidx23 : im from SG and yung pinakasikat na remittance center dito ay ang iRemit. so i would say na safe itong iRemit kung meron dyan sa oz. :)

    Paano po malaman kung secure ang website ng remittance company or hindi? plano ko kasi sana forexworld gamitin pero yun nga na mention mo na hindi secure ang forexworld. Yung orbit remit kaya? paano malaman kung secure ang site nila? mas mababa lang nga exchange rate compared to forexworld.
