Good rate of exchange and cheap fees. I think they are newish to the Philippines for money transactions so they have under cut the likes of Western Union that are about the most expensive. I have been using WorldRemit from about January this year and i can not fault them. :wink:

Yup, now my favourite method of transfer, easy process from NatWest direct to BPI, email/txt confirmations all the way. Transfer fees and exchange rate on £500 are about £45 cheaper overall than using NatWests '2 day express service' when WorldRemit can do it as quick as 30 minutes.

Interesting to note that BPI is :-

Registered No. 05888535. Authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

I wonder what if any safeguards there are with WorldRemit ?
