Looking for the best and fastest way to send money home to the Philippines? You’re in good company. Over two million Filipinos live abroad and many support their communities back in the Philippines. Remittances from these overseas workers boost local economies throughout the island nation. However, high transfer fees and poor exchange rates can make it expensive to send money to the Philippines. Remitly wants to change that.
One popular option for sending money to the Philippines is to a Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) account. With Remitly’s mobile app, it’s easy to transfer money to any BPI account from outside the Philippines.
Send Money to BPI Bank in 5 Easy Steps
Transferring money to a BPI account is fast, easy, and secure with Remitly. To get started:
- If you haven’t already, sign up for a free Remitly account. Download the app and set the Philippines as your destination.
- Enter the amount you want to send.
- Choose whether you want to do a bank transfer or cash pickup.
- Enter the recipient’s information.
- Add your payment details.
This is usually all it takes! Sometimes, we may ask for additional documentation depending on the amount sent or if we are unable to verify your identity.
