Send money to Philippines
Philippines is compared here from 18 sending markets — the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE, Spain, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, Singapore, Italy, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Qatar. Recipients are paid in Philippine peso (PHP), usually by GCash and Maya wallets, bank deposit and cash pickup.
GCash has become the default way to receive remittances in the Philippines, with instant delivery to a mobile number.
On 6 of these routes a like-for-like recipient amount was checked against the mid-market rate, so the cards below can say what the best provider actually pays.

Checked and not available
- Wise from the UAE — lists the dirham as send-to only within the UAE, so a UAE resident cannot send AED abroad with it
- WorldRemit from the UAE — the UAE is not in its sending-country selector
- Xoom from the UAE — publishes the UAE only as a receiving country
- Remitly from Switzerland — Remitly does not operate from Switzerland. Its Swiss market root and every Swiss corridor address tested return a 404 in both English and German, despite the Philippines being one of its strongest corridors from other origins.
- Remitly from Hong Kong — Remitly does not operate from Hong Kong. Its Hong Kong market root returns a 404, as does every Hong Kong corridor address tested in both its short and long URL forms.
- Remitly from Malaysia — Remitly does not operate from Malaysia. Its Malaysian market root returns a 404, as does every Malaysian corridor address tested.
- Instarem from Qatar — Instarem does not serve Qatar outbound. Its Qatari market address redirects to the global home page, which then quotes a euro to rupee transfer — the redirect-to-homepage pattern that looks live to a status check but serves no Qatari product.
- MoneyGram from Qatar — MoneyGram has no Qatari consumer site. Its Qatari address redirects to the United States home page. It still carries Qatari money: Ooredoo Money names MoneyGram as one of the partners behind its own app, so the network is reachable in Qatar only through somebody else's shopfront.
- Remitly from Qatar — Remitly does not operate from Qatar, or from anywhere in the Gulf except the UAE. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman each return a 404 on the provider's market root.
- Ria Money Transfer from Qatar — Ria publishes no Qatari site. Its Qatari address returns the provider's own page-not-found screen.
- Wise from Qatar — Wise does not operate from Qatar. Its Qatari send-money address returns the provider's own lost-page screen and redirects to the global home page.
