How to send money from UK to Philippines
Pick a company
For a one-off GBP transfer to the Philippines, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is WorldRemit.
WorldRemit was the cheapest on 22 of the 22 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to the Philippines.
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 the fastest, since most companies connect to 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 a £6,000 transfer the verification is normally instant but can take a couple of hours.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £6,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £6,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.
The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.
When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more PHP per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 26 of the last 30 days.
Right now, WorldRemit pays 509,141.59 PHP on 6,000 GBP, which is 924.49 PHP more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 515,125.89 PHP.
If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.
If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.
To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).
Today WorldRemit is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.
Ways to send money from the UK to Philippines
There are many ways to send money to the Philippines from the UK, including app, currency broker, online, multi-currency account, global business account, in person, and bank, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
Money transfer apps
If you send small amounts back home to the 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 -0.23% markup, lets you save recipient details, and PHP will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, WorldRemit was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Online transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized PHP transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Wise often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 12 companies we compared, Wise is the cheapest online service and will get you ₱508,182.46 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 4 of the 30 days it quoted.
For large transfers
Brokers
Currency brokers like Regency FX are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).
You get a dedicated account manager to handle your transfer to the Philippines, and real human support.
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 .
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 94% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
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 ₱508,182.46 after fees.
If you don’t have PHP in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in the 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).
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
For business transfers
Global accounts
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in the Philippines, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Only if you have to
Banks

We found Barclays was the cheapest bank on 30 of the 30 days it appeared for this amount.

Consider this when sending GBP to Philippines
There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to the Philippines such as limits, taxes, and safety.
1
Compare GBP/PHP transfer options
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to the Philippines:
Cheapest way to send money to the Philippines
The cheapest way is to use WorldRemit, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via cash pickup. You will get ₱509,141.59, which is 0.17% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to the Philippines
The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get ₱502,081.75 and it will arrive in within minutes.
2
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.
These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.
3
The transfer costs involved
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending £6,000 with WorldRemit will get you 509,141.59 PHP, that’s including £2.99 fee and -0.23% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you ₱494,226.53, that’s £0 in fees but 2.79% in FX fees.
4
Taxes on money transfers
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to the Philippines.
And, regular gifts from your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, with no cap and no seven-year wait, as long as you can still cover your usual living costs.
5
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.
We track 12 regulated companies offering money transfers from the UK to the Philippines in real time.
We analyse the fees, exchange rates, deposit/withdrawal methods, and each goes through our internal review.
Most GBP/PHP pricing data comes directly from the providers. We collect the rest manually, run it through our comparison engine and label it in the table.
In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 238 comparisons across 8 amounts.
This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for GBP/PHP transfers. This is how we pick them:
Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.
Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
