Hello Kababayan,

You can chose from many online sources to transfer money to Philippines but I would suggest you send them via Qwarta Padala because they only charge 200 pesos regardless of the amount you send.

Kababayan, magpa-register ka na! Madali lang at libre.

You kabayan,

Peter

We, Asia United Bank (AUB), can provide your beneficiary in the Philippines an ATM remittance card that you can use every time you remit. The ATM card is FREE, and requires no initial deposit.

Everytime you remit, service charge of the exchange is only QR15. Best of all, the money will be credited 10 minutes after you transact in the counter.

You can transact your remittances through the ff:

City Exchange

Al Mana Exchange

Union Exchange

Al Sayrafa Exchange

Al Dar Exchange

Please send me an email at [email protected] for more of your queries about how the application shall go through.

Thanks kabayan.

The cheapest with no cost way is to hand over the money to a friend going to Philipines for vacation.

Kumastaka?

You may open an Savings account with Doha Bank for as low as Qr 1000 (maintaining bal of only Qr 500). Once your account is opened you may access their DBank Remit Service. Fee is only Qr 10 for a maximum amount of Qr 50,000 per transaction. No more going to the exchange house, no more waiting in line. Less cost on transportation. You can do it anytime anywhere. Just log in to www.dohabank.com.qa

Contact mobile 5821049 or landline 4456759 (7:00-3:00pm) for more information.

i use alsayrafa exchange at the souq. charge is only QAR 12 bank to bank. it usually takes 3 days for major banks. they have western union services too but i'm a cheapo.

when my dad was still here, he sent money one time and my mom (quite irresponsibly) didn't inform us that she changed her bank account number. my mom is also not in the habit of checking her account balance so she usually cannot answer us if the remittance has been credited or not before she changed her account. alsayrafa was considerate enough to contact my dad and said the remittance won't go through. we wouldn't have known what happened to the money if they didn't call my dad.

alfardan is okay too and i used to send from there, but i had a friend who had some sort of discrepancy with his bank account name and the bank in the phils won't accept the remittance. after a few days of wondering why the money hasn't been credited, he wouldn't have known the reason if he didn't check and ask them. it's probably not a big deal and ultimately it is our responsibility to confirm these things but still...i'm not sure if alfardan would've contacted my friend eventually though, or if other exchanges do these things as well.
