How to send money from UK to Philippines

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer to Philippines, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is WorldRemit.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, WorldRemit delivers the most PHP.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/PHP rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Paying from your bank is usually both cheapest and quickest, since most companies connect straight into your banking app via Open Banking.

Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.

On £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.

If you send small amounts back home to Philippines, say weekly or monthly, an app like WorldRemit is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

It charges £2.99 in fees, has -0.13% markup, lets you save recipient details, and PHP will arrive in minutes.

Online companies like Wise often have higher limits and/or first time promos.

Of 1 online services, Wise is the cheapest and will get you ₱494,701.71 on £6,000 transfer.

Currency brokers like Regency FX are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).

Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/PHP rate.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

For fast money transfers

Cash transfer

Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Philippines, but is usually a bit more more expensive.

You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Philippines will be able to collect ₱493,919.4 in minutes.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Philippine Pesos abroad like a local.

Wise offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to PHP will get you ₱494,701.71 after fees.

If you don’t have PHP in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Philippines.

Once you have PHP in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Philippines, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

Consider this when sending GBP to Philippines

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Philippines such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/PHP transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £6,000 transfer to Philippines:

Cheapest way to send money to Philippines

The cheapest way is to use WorldRemit, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via cash pickup. You will get ₱497,913.09, which is 0.17% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Philippines

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get ₱490,243.32 and it will arrive in within minutes.

UK transfer limits

There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.

Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).

Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.

And on bigger GBP/PHP transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.

That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending ₱497,913.09 with WorldRemit will get you 497,913.09 PHP, that’s including £2.99 fee and -0.13% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you ₱482,598.65, that’s £0 in fees but 3.04% in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Philippines.

And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.

Staying safe when sending abroad

Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.

The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.

Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.

For more information, check our guide to money transfer regulations in the UK.
