Philippines — PHP

Send Money from the UAE to the Philippines

Check the AED to PHP reference rate, compare verified provider quotes when available, and confirm how many pesos reach your family in the Philippines.

For the large Filipino community in the UAE, sending money home is a monthly routine — and the peso amount your family receives depends heavily on which provider you use. Because remittances to the Philippines are so common, there are plenty of delivery options, from bank deposits to cash pickup and mobile wallets like GCash.

When verified quotes are available, this page compares AED to PHP offers from licensed UAE providers and shows the real pesos delivered after fees, not just the advertised exchange rate. That's the number that matters when you're budgeting support for family back home.

Cash pickup is a favourite for the Philippines, with wide networks like Cebuana Lhuillier and Palawan letting relatives collect within minutes. Bank deposits to BDO, BPI and others are just as easy, and GCash transfers are increasingly popular for their speed. Exchange houses such as LuLu and Al Ansari are dependable for same-day transfers, while app-based services such as Remitly use a different mix of fee and exchange-rate margin.

Have your recipient's details ready — a bank account, GCash number, or the pickup branch and their ID name exactly as it appears. Enter your amount below and choose the Philippines to compare any verified provider quotes by the actual pesos received.

Converted at the mid-market reference rate, not a provider quote. Providers add a margin, a fee or both, so the recipient receives less. Check the provider’s final quote before you pay. Source: ExchangeRate-API, updated 7 Oct 2026.
