I also use my Nationwide Flex Account card here and have never paid any charges.

The other day, money exchanges in the malls were giving between 87 and 88.5 pesos to the pound. I used my NFA card and got 88.8.

BTW - can anyone tell me the best bank to go to for Hanna and I opening a joint account over here in Phils?

Your advice would be appreciated.

Happy Guy Fawkes day everyone.

We use PNB GFMC Card. The exhange rate is good and will arrived from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

I used nationwide debit card of my husband. As long as the bank accepts visa card it is ok... there is no service charge and the exchange rate is high compared to the money changer.

Alan.. We have used PNB Europe for years..
Always a good rate.
We can get our money from our UK accs to the R.P via them (online) in a day or less.
7 Quid whatever amount.

I used Natwest to sent money abroad, I got 2 cards and I left one to my family but the problem is whenever they took money from the atm, theres a charge £1.50 per transaction which I think its too much. So I switch to Nationwide now and so far so good.

[bigtombowski]

yeh coz halifax is £1.50 per transaction
maybe i should open an account with nationwide

I have Chinatrust VISA card and to transfer money from UK, my fiance just deposit the money to the IRemit Bank account in any Barclay Branch and the money will be available in the Philippines within 24 hours.
IRemit's exchange rate is over 91 Pesos to the pound, and their
transer fee
only £6 much better than WU.

[JAMZ]

I have heard a lot re PNB here but aren't your loved ones receiving the monies having a hard time withdrawing their monies in PNB in the Philippines? My husband used to get the services from the PNB before what it annoyed us that it is most of the time OFFLINE in most of the branches in Central Business District. That is why we had the notion that maybe they are always offline because they want to hold off the monies first of these OFWs or senders...

[fred]

JAMZ.

We have never encountered that problem with PNB.
The money so far has always been there for us to pick up as per ordered.
No complaints.

[joebloggs]

I've been sending money thru PNB europe to my wifes aunt for many years, shes never had a problem, and many years ago i use to use RBS international money transfer and iam sure they charge near £30 !! then.

[bigtombowski]

it's a complete rip off!

[Bridget]

Im glad that we didn`t have any problem with the Iremit.

[bigtombowski]

i gotta look into all this stuff, coz i am being ripped off by WU at the moment! hehehe lol!

[JAMZ]

Western Union is really a rip off, don't ever consider that unless no choice. I have never used that though, but according to most of my friends, they find Western Union overcharging service fees.

[bigtombowski]

western union is what i have been usin, jammy!

[kimmi]

we also use western union before, their service is great but the service fee is bugger..

[bigtombowski]

it's true, but cheaper than my bank
eek

[Bridget]

Hi Tom, have a look this one, weve been using this service and we are happy as good rate and quicker.
