What information do I need from my recipient to send bank transfers to the Philippines?

  • Full name. Please enter your recipient’s full name. To avoid any delays, the recipient’s name should match the name on their bank statement exactly.

  • Address. We need your recipient’s city.

  • Account details. We need your recipient’s bank and account number:

    1. Metrobank: Metrobank accounts are usually 13-digits long (eg. 0123456789010). However, if your recipient only has a 10 digit number, take the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th digits (eg. 0123456789) and input them at the front of the account number. This will make it 13 digits in total (eg. 1230123456789).

    3. LandBank: Accounts are normally 10 or 16 digits long.

    6. Any other bank accounts in the Philippines: A maximum of PHP 300,000 per transfer.

  • Mobile number. We ask for a contact number in case we need to provide any important updates.

  • Email (optional). We use this to send an email to your recipient with details of the transfer. This is particularly useful in case they have issues receiving the SMS notifications.

  • Sending reason. Please indicate whether it is “family or friend support,” “purchase of services,” “property payment,” or “sending fund to self”.

Please ensure that all your recipient’s details are correct. Once you make your transfer, it’s difficult for us to amend or stop the transfer, although we will always try our best to do so.
