We track Western Union and MoneyGram and are working to add them to this corridor — we'd rather show nothing than an unverified rate.
“Mid-market” is the real rate banks trade at between themselves, before any markup — the fairest benchmark for what a transfer actually costs you. More terms, decoded →

About this corridor

UK→Philippines transfers can go to a bank account or a mobile wallet such as GCash. Fixed fees weigh more heavily on small amounts, so compare at the amount you actually plan to send.
The cheapest way to send money to Philippines from the UK
On today's data, WorldRemit is the cheapest way to send money to Philippines from the UK — your recipient gets ₱84,396 on a £1,000 transfer, roughly ₱792 more than the worst-value option (Wise). Rankings shift daily as providers reprice, so the cheapest provider changes from one day to the next — we refresh every morning from real quotes, so always check today's table above before you send.
GBP to PHP exchange rate today
The mid-market GBP/PHP rate — the real rate banks trade at, before any markup — is currently around 84.31. Once fees and margin are included, WorldRemit's effective rate today sits about 0.10% above mid-market — almost always a promotional or introductory rate rather than the standard price, so it may not apply to every transfer. Over the last 30 days the best recipient amount has ranged between ₱83,830 and ₱87,740. No provider gives you the pure mid-market rate — the goal is finding the one that sits closest to it.
Is it safe to send money to Philippines?
Yes — the major providers we compare, including Wise, Remitly and WorldRemit, are established, FCA-authorised money-transfer firms that move money to Philippines every day. Plyna is an independent comparison service and doesn't handle your transfer; we simply show what each provider gives your recipient. Always start your transfer on the provider's own site or app and confirm the final rate and fee there. See our methodology for exactly how we collect and rank these figures.

Common questions
Sending money from UK to Philippines
- What is the best way to send money from the UK to the Philippines?
- In our last 30 days of quotes for £1,000, Remitly paid out the most on 25 days (WorldRemit 3 and Ria 2). Picking the worst provider instead of the best cost £22.80 on average. The leader can change, so check today's ranking above before you send.
- How long does a UK to Philippines transfer take?
- It depends on the provider, how you pay and the recipient's bank. Bank deposits often arrive the same day, and first transfers can take longer while identity checks are done. Plyna compares price, not speed, so check the delivery estimate on the provider's quote before you confirm.
- What fees are charged for sending money from the UK to the Philippines?
- In our latest quotes for £1,000 to Philippines: WorldRemit £0.00, Remitly £0.00, Ria £0.00 and Wise £5.79. The fee is only part of the cost: each provider also sets its own exchange rate, so a £0 fee can still pay out less. That's why we rank by the amount that arrives.
- What is the current GBP to PHP exchange rate?
- The rate varies by provider and changes daily. The benchmark is the mid-market rate — the interbank rate neither side charges a margin on. Plyna shows each provider's effective GBP/PHP rate and how it compares to mid-market on every snapshot.
- Can I send money from the UK directly to a GCash wallet in the Philippines?
- Yes — Remitly and WorldRemit both support GCash wallet delivery for UK senders. This is often faster than bank transfers for recipients who use mobile money. Check the provider's own site for current availability and limits on GCash transfers.
How we collect this data
Real quotes. Dated snapshots. Nothing modelled.
Every figure on this page traces back to an actual quote pulled from the provider's own rate calculator on a specific day. The exchange rate is compared against the true mid-market rate at the time of collection, exposing any hidden margin baked into the quoted rate. Recipient amounts are calculated as (£1,000 − fee) × rate × (1 − margin).
