Transfer details
For a one-off transfer from Germany, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Wise.
On a 14,700 PHP transfer, Wise delivers the most JPY.
This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best PHP/JPY rate.
Use the filters above if your recipient needs cash rather than a bank deposit.
You have 1 ways to pay for the transfer: bank transfer.
Depending on the company, you can use InstaPay which takes seconds to deposit.
Above about a million pesos it goes through PESONet instead, which can take a day.
First time round you'll need a valid ID and your details to match it exactly.
Make sure you do it before you need to send JPY to avoid any delays.
How much PHP you send to Japan heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.

Cheapest
A few things to remember about money transfers from Philippines to Japan.
Cheapest way to send money to Japan
The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 36,790 JPY, which is 8.99% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Japan
The fastest option is PayPal App (P2P Transfer). Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 33,481.63 JPY, with collection available in minutes.
The Philippines charges 6% donor's tax on total taxable gifts above PHP 250,000 in a calendar year.
The donor pays it, even when the person receiving the money lives abroad.
BIR Form 1800 is due within 30 days of the gift.
This does not make every family payment a taxable donation, but a large personal gift should be checked before sending.
The BIR's Form 1800 guidance explains the threshold, rate and filing deadline.
InstaPay, PESONet, Maya, etc. move PHP between Philippine accounts only.
Some companies allow these as funding methods, but neither can be used to send international transfers to Japan.
GCash can be used for international transfers, but it is limited and usually more expensive.
PDIC protects eligible deposits held with a member bank.
It does not protect a transfer after the money has left your bank or a balance held with a non-bank transfer company.
If a BSP-supervised company does not resolve a complaint, you can escalate it through the BSP Online Buddy.
Even a small move in the exchange rate changes how much JPY arrives for your PHP, especially on a larger transfer.
Mid-market rate:1 PHP = 2.516048 JPY
