How to send money from Philippines to Kenya

Pick a company

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

Wise was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted ₱14,700 transfers to Kenya.

On a 14,700 PHP transfer, Wise delivers the most KES.

This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best PHP/KES rate.

Use the filters above if your recipient needs cash rather than a bank deposit.

Fund your transfer

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.

Verify and send

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 KES to avoid any delays.

Compare amounts

How much PHP are you sending to Kenya?

How much PHP you send to Kenya 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.

PHP/KES Exchange Rate History

Is today a good time to send money from Philippines to Kenya?

The cheapest way to send PHP to KES can change every day, or stay with the same company all month.

We've compared the mid-market rate with the cheapest option each day (today it's Wise), across 30 days of comparisons for 14,700 PHP transfers to Kenya.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send ₱14,700, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what ₱14,700 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

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 KES per PHP than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of KES on every transfer from the Philippines.

Right now, Wise pays 29,834 KES on 14,700 PHP, which is 490.50 KES less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 29,900 KES.

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.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Kenya.

We've tracked 177 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 6 amounts over the past month.

WiseAppeared in 177 comparisons
Cheapest in 85% of them
GreyAppeared in 86 comparisons
Never the cheapest
PayPal App (P2P Transfer)Appeared in 86 comparisons
Never the cheapest

Based on 177 comparisons across 6 amounts over the last 30 days.

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 Wise is the cheapest and gets you the most KES, and it was also the cheapest in 85% of the 177 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Kenya.

Ways to send money from the Philippines to Kenya

5 companies send money from the Philippines to Kenya.

Visa and tuition payments

Online transfers

Online services work well for visa fees, tuition deposits and other payments you need to make before moving abroad.

Wise charges ₱237.91 in fees and 0% markup to send 14,700 PHP.

This will get you 29,834 KES.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.

Traveling and spending

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account is useful if you regularly pay tuition, rent or other bills in Kenya, or if you travel to Kenya often.

Wise lets you hold PHP and KES in one account and converts 14,700 PHP with a 0% exchange-rate markup and small fee.

Over the past month, Wise came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

For freelancers

Global accounts

Global accounts help Philippine freelancers and businesses make regular payments to Kenya.

Payoneer and Wise Business offer international account details, invoicing and batch payments.

Ways to fund PHP and receive KES in Kenya

With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending ₱14,700 gives your recipient 29,834 KES.

To fund the transfer from the Philippines, use bank transfer.

Fund the PHP side through your bank

Use InstaPay for an eligible smaller payment or PESONet when the company supplies bank details.

Both rails send PHP domestically to the company's account before they send it to Kenya.

GCash and Maya are mainly for domestic payments. GCash has an international transfer option, but it’s limited and usually costs more.

Your recipient in Kenya can receive money by bank deposit.

Check this before sending PHP to Kenya

A few things to remember about money transfers from the Philippines to Kenya.

Compare PHP/KES transfer services

Cheapest way to send money to Kenya

The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 29,834 KES, which is 6.49% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Kenya

The fastest option is Wise. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 29,834 KES, with collection available in within minutes.

A large gift can trigger donor's tax

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.

Philippine payment rails

InstaPay, PESONet, Maya, etc. move PHP between Philippine accounts only.

Some companies allow these as funding methods, but none of them can be used to send international transfers to Kenya.

GCash can be used for international transfers, but it is limited and usually more expensive.

PDIC protection

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.

How we analyse the market

We track 5 BSP-supervised companies sending PHP to Kenya, updated in real time on live searches.

Fees, exchange rates and the deposit and payout options are all compared, and nothing appears here without passing our review.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 177 comparisons across 6 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for PHP/KES 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.

Most pricing comes from the companies themselves. Where we collect it by hand, the table says so.
