you will get a better rate by going to a mall near you,when you get there and taking pounds and exchanging.
i took £4000 with me and never got checked!

Don't think newbies can do this.Originally Posted by bornatbirth
I have always changed money when I get there, sometimes a good rate, sometimes not so good.
Change about £50 at the airport and the rest at the money changers in town.
I have found the rate to be better in town.
yes you can take as much as you like have done it that way a few timesalways feel a little uneasy though have lots of money in the belt
you could use a remittance company to sent to yr fiancees bank account
Hi Neil,
Your introductory post provides me with a unique threefold opportunity to - first of all, welcome you to the forum, secondly, extend my best wishes to you and your bride-to-be on your forthcoming wedding; and thirdly, answer your question as to how much Filipino currency you can [legally] take with you to the Philippines, based on what Bank of Scotland/Halifax told ME.
According to their Foreign Exchange staff, the maximum amount that can be brought into the country is 10,000 pesos. Don't ask me why, but apparently there are tight restrictions in place vis-a-vis the Phils monetary system, and so it would be advisable not to take any unnecessary risks.
Enjoy!
Welcome to the forumAll the best
It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
It's Arthur again, Neil. Just noticed you'd had a few more responses in the few minutes it took me to compose and post my previous message. Now whilst I appreciate the well-intentioned replies of others here, I'd strongly urge you to 'err on the side of caution' and would reiterate the advice I've already given you as regards how much FILIPINO currency you are lawfully allowed on your person when you enter the Philippines. And, as someone else here has kindly pointed out you CAN use your bank card ... ONCE THERE ... to withdraw up to (I believe!) 20,000 pesos. But please, be very, very careful and don't even think about exceeding the maximum allowance permitted when travelling. There's always the chance, however slight, of your being "searched" at one or other of the airports en route. All the best, mate.
welcome to the forum and all the best on your upcoming wedding

thank you very much for your kind words i will pass on your good wishes to my fiance. and thank you for your infomation
Hi neilgrace
I guess my question to you is, are you going to be in a city? or somewhere rural or remote?
I've always just taken a small amount of sterling & then relied on using ATM's with my debit card & had a mastercard as a back up.
10,000 pesos is the max I have been able to withdraw a day.
Just remember to tell your bank or credit card company you will be using it in the Philippines.
Thinking about this, if you're going to get married you probably know all this.
Isn't it £10,000 or $10,000 you can take, when you fill in the immigration slip?
Hi Neil,
Welcome to the forum.
Louella & Iain.
