How to send money from Philippines to Kenya

Pick a company

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 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.

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 useful for domestic payments and receiving money, but they do not send KES to a person in Kenya.

Check this before sending PHP to Kenya

A few things to remember about money transfers from 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 29,978 KES, which is 6.5% 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 29,978 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 neither 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.

Live PHP-KES Exchange Rate

Finding a better PHP to KES rate

Even a small move in the exchange rate changes how much KES arrives for your PHP, especially on a larger transfer.

Mid-market rate:1 PHP = 2.064508 KES
