Thorvald 35 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Has anyone found a cheaper way than LBC to send money to the Phils from the USA? LBC used to charge $3.00 for amounts under $100 now it went up to $6 and $8 etc...several years ago.... Link to post Share on other sites

Oh BS. We have collected $250 at a time through World Remit on several occasions. Are you sure that is not $ instead of Pesos? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
easydrifter 106 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Remitly charges $3.99 for instant and nothing except for what they make on the conversation rate if you can wait 3 or 4 business days for it to go through. Link to post Share on other sites

motorboy 2,325 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I just picked up 40,000 through world remit. I send it to myself all the time. Had to call my bank a few times as they kept blocking it, but now it only takes a few minutes. The maximum daily limit that you can send is like 2,000.00 dollars 2 Link to post Share on other sites
