About this corridor
What to watch when sending to Philippines
UK→Philippines transfers are usually fast — Wise and Remitly deliver in minutes. Watch for fee creep on small amounts: the £6+ flat fees hurt sub-£500 transfers disproportionately.

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?
- For most senders, Wise and Remitly offer the strongest combination of rate and speed on this corridor. However the ranking changes daily. Plyna compares all providers by recipient amount for £1,000 sent — check today's table to see who leads right now.
- How long does a UK to Philippines transfer take?
- Wise and Remitly typically deliver to Philippine bank accounts (BPI, BDO, Metrobank etc.) within minutes. WorldRemit and MoneyGram are usually same-day. GCash mobile wallet transfers can be near-instant with supported providers.
- What fees are charged for sending money from the UK to the Philippines?
- Flat fees hurt more on smaller amounts. Wise charges a percentage-based fee (more efficient at £1,000+). Remitly charges a flat fee of around £1.99–£3.99. Always check the total cost for your specific send amount — our comparison uses £1,000 as a reference.
- 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).
