We are using BPI. £5 fee for up to £1000.00 remittance. Have a look on their website on how to. https://www.bpieuropeplc.com/remittances and https://www.bpieuropeplc.com/faqs for more info.
Its only cheaper if you already got an Account with PNB/BPI/HSBC account here in the UK , they can charge you little because they got affiliated bank here and will just transfer your remittance via wired/online..Originally Posted by melovesengland

Exactly, we use BPI to BPI for cash remittance online. Its easy and quick as well thats why were sticking on it.
have you got any BPI/PNB/HSBC Account here in the UK? its easier and cheaper to transfer money once you have an account with any of the local banks in the PH...if not , try some filipino shops (they offer money padala) they do the same rate but is not too secured.

Hsbc? Wrong it costs £17 to send money to the phils. I think I will be using world remit from now on.
yes you are wrong!! ... I had a quick look at hsbc website and its £5 pound for hsbc advance customers ... http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/internatio...ansfer/details
,its actually cant be higher than the rate of BPI and PNB online remittance transactions ..btw, talking about world remit just like any other bank their rates will be subjected to change.

Hello Everyone, I use money gram in sending money to the Philippines via post office, now I just had a look and it says you can send online too. Just thinking that will save me going to the town, I would like to ask does any one here in the forum use or tried money gram online?
I am not sure if it's safe or not.
Thank you.

Wish I could help Han, but I've never heard of moneygram!

Han, why don't you use internet banking?
I've been using Moneygramme for years (similar to Western Union).Wish I could help Han, but I've never heard of moneygram!
It's a good way of sending money to Filipinos who have no bank account. They can just collect the cash from their nearest agent, and there are thousands of them over there.
The money is available after about 10 minutes. The recipient just needs to take the correct ID, plus the reference number that you have given them, to collect.
I can do this at my local post office. £100 will cost about £9 to send. Not cheap, but good for emergencies.
Well..Just had a look and it seems they do..

My experience = worldremit is by far the easiest cheapest and safest method i have used. Bank transfers take sometimes only 20 minutes and are cleared costing about £1.90 for under £100 -also mobile phone top ups are instant almost and again cost little. I use the service regularly now after having used banks and then Western Union which is a real bind sometimes due to the efforts to check security.

With Nationwide online banking as an a/c holder £5 up to £5000!
Really, thanks I didn't know that. Transfer to any bank in the Philippines?With Nationwide online banking as an a/c holder £5 up to £5000!
As long as your online banking with your bank in Philippines!
I use Western Union online. So far never had any problem. Money will be delivered in a minute or can opt to send it directly into their bank account.
I just found this works perfectly for me.
I use world remit as I can do it online and its really easy.
I am going to look into BPI though.
