Sending money to Pinas using World Remit

[Terpe]

I am using BPI express online for my remittance and the transfer fees/charge is only £5 , regardless of the exchange rate
..Ive checked the link https://www.worldremit.com/en/home and it quickly change its transfer fees , for the minimum amount of pesos i was trying to send

That's very true sars.
I just checked about sending £250 to Phils bank account and the fee came out at £8.21
For £500 it is £11.92
For £750 it is £15.63
For £2000 it is £34.18

Hmm, very expensive charges.

The transfer fee/charges are ok if youre only sending up to £100 , but its more expensive if you need to send more ...

Yes, I checked again for £100 and under and not too bad.

Yes Brian, I personally found their charges expensive compared to others I was using and that's why I stated so. I have no experience of WU as I don't use them.
The rates you picked out to quote have since been reduced as you can see in their post #12

My husband uses paypal if not too urgent. i have EON/Union bank that is linked to paypal, so whenever he sends i would just transfer it to my EON and would get the money in 4days. i think they charge £5 for any amount he sends.
