It is not the cheapest, but reliable.

Average time at the moment... 24/36 hours.

hi thanks , but pnb is not instant or maybe instant but they close at 3 err

The cheapest quickest (free and instant) way is to open up a Nationwide cash card account and give the card and PIN to the person in the Philippines. Obviously not suitable in all cases (it you are sending to multiple people), and it may not stay free forever.

thank you i am not keen on xoom as they only ask for credit card but i only have a debit card which is maestro only so not good plus the fact that they only show as dollar and not on pounds

Open a paypal account, and get the funds to xoom that way...

Think you are going to struggle to find something to move money from the UK to the Philippines that is reliable, cheap, instant and available 24 hours a day.

Are you trying to transfer money to a bank account or make the money available for someone to collect?

Might be me but I can't find any charge of £4.

Think I stick to PNB which basically offer the same exchange rate and charge £5 for a bank to bank transfer of up to £1000. Sunrise would cost me more especially if moving large amounts (PNB only charge £7 for up to £10,000).

This has been mentioned a couple of times already, though what has been highlighted is (at least for the time being) you won't be charged if you have a Cash Card account (non-visa Debit card)

yes, i am afraid so... you need to fill up some forms... but, you will do this just once... and after this, sending money is so easy plus they have very good competitive rates

hi thanks for the reply but i am not so keen on xoom as they only charge by dollar which is bit complicated its nice to know the pounds straight away instead of dollar so that i will know how much the charges are. anyway thanks a lot but xoom is not so good thank you.i been on moneygram which is very reliable the reciever could collect the money in 5 minutes but the only problem with this is the charge but not too bad than western union .so i might carry on the moenygram then .about the paypal yes i am a paypal member but the problem is the receiver must join the paypal as well which is bit complicated because the receiver is not much knowledge on doing this she dont know how to join paypal i told her many times but she is not keen

[GEES]

wow that sounds very cheap but i am not so keen on bank to bank because it means they also need to open an account which is bit complicated to the receiver.in philippines when you open a bank account you need to prove 2 IDs the problem is they only have 1 id so i think not easy.plus you can only get the moeny when the bank is open and very limited hour as well.thanks guys

I respect your views on Xoom, but I must state that it doesn't matter wether the receiver is a paypal member at all.

I do our transfers through xoom in conjunction with paypal and haven't encountered any problems that way.
Paypal takes the money from our account and authorises xoom to deliver it to the recipient.
This can be done by direct bank deposit, or cash in the hand by courier, whichever is selected at the time of ordering.
For moneygram or WU, the recipient has to make his/her way to the nearest office for withdrawal, using special passwords and things.
This system has also been proven slightly dangerous as the recipient could very well be followed and robbed.
It is generally known that people exiting such offices normally do carry money.....:doh

Only a couple of bob's worth....

[Sim11UK]

Have to agree with the xoom option. It's only you who needs a paypal account. It couldn't be more simpler.

Just look up the conversion on the net...easy :)

[GEES]

hi thanks, yes i would like to send money someone to collect not to wait for 2 to 3 days , thats why i want to send instantly thanks

[GEES]

hi i respect your idea as well but i i dont like and niether the reciever dont like the money to deliver as plenty of neighbors to get jealous so thats why we both like the moeny to collect , no problem eith that as i am using moneygram in 4 years now without any problem the only problem with this is the charge so thats why i am looking something cheaper , anyway what you reckon will the xoom allowed money to collect by the receiver? we dont like the oney to deliver we both like to be collected will they allowede on that? thansk a lot?

[Sim11UK]

Yes the money can be collected, sending by xoom. It is instant too.

[pinky]

hi gees,
with sunrise remittance, ur beneficiary could collect ur remittance at any Cebuana Lhuillier branches(Pera Padala) or M. Lhuillier(Kuarta Padala) or at any Banco De Oro Branches....
hope this will help...

[GEES]

hi thank you for the help

[GEES]

hello pinky could you please give me the website? thank you

[MarBell379]

Whichever system you use, check the exchange rates as well as the cost of the transaction. I looked at Xoom and Western Union, and Xoom looked a lot cheaper initially, The exchange rate was AWFUL :omg:, and once that was factored in Western Union was a lot cheaper.
The idea of opening a UK bank account with a cash card and giving the card to the person in the Philippines is great! Why didnt I think of that.:Cuckoo:
One thing on this if you do decide to go that way (which I probably will now) Make sure the card and PIN are sent seperately. I have had plenty of stuff go missing in the Philippines postal system and if card and PIN both went at the same time you could lose whatever money is in the account.:bigcry:

[Bluebirdjones]

Check out the Global Filipino card issued by PNB... it's a debit card
So you can only draw out what's in the account.

Go into the London branch with ID, and they'll basically issue you one there & then.

... send it to the Philippines, and tell her the PIN number via messenger or txt.

Any time you need to send some money, just call PNB and transfer money from
your normal bank account (NatWest, HSBC etc etc)to your PNB Global Filipino account.
Money there (to be drawn from ATM) within 12hrs .... probably quicker.
