Send Money from USA to Philippines
The Philippines is one of the top remittance-receiving countries in the world, with over $36 billion received annually. Filipino Americans (Balikbayan) send billions home to support families across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Tips for Sending to Philippines
Compare GCash vs bank deposit rates
Some providers offer better rates for GCash delivery than bank deposits. GCash is also instant, making it ideal for urgent transfers.
Take advantage of Balikbayan promotions
Providers like Remitly and WorldRemit frequently run promotions for Filipino corridors. Check for promo codes before sending.
Consider peso cost averaging
If you send regularly, the PHP rate varies. Sending at a fixed schedule averages out rate fluctuations over time.
Use provider apps for better rates
Many providers offer slightly better rates on their mobile apps compared to their websites. Download the app for your chosen provider.
