How to send money from Philippines to Kuwait

Pick a company

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

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

Make sure you do it before you need to send KWD to avoid any delays.

Check this before sending PHP to Kuwait

A few things to remember about money transfers from Philippines to Kuwait.

Compare PHP/KWD transfer services

Cheapest way to send money to Kuwait

The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 69.13 KWD, which is 5.18% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Kuwait

The fastest option is PayPal App (P2P Transfer). Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 65.55 KWD, with collection available in 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 Kuwait.

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-KWD Exchange Rate

Finding a better PHP to KWD rate

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

Mid-market rate:1 PHP = 0.004942 KWD
