Send money internationally from the Philippines

Grey is an international money transfer app for people in the Philippines who need to send money abroad. Fund your PHP balance, convert at the live rate, and send directly to bank accounts in the US, UK, Europe, Africa, and Indonesia. The exchange rate and fee are both shown before you confirm. What you see is what your recipient gets.

Your recipient does not need a Grey account. The money arrives in their bank account as a standard local transfer. BDO, BPI, Metrobank, UnionBank, and all major Philippine banks are supported for funding. GCash and Maya wallets can also be used to fund your Grey PHP balance.

The total cost of a transfer is the conversion fee plus the exchange rate margin. Grey shows both on the same screen before you tap Send. On a PHP 50,000 transfer, a 1% rate difference changes what your recipient receives by roughly 9 USD, 7 GBP, or 8 EUR.

Which currencies does Grey support from the Philippines?

Grey supports PHP-to-USD transfers to the United States, PHP-to-GBP transfers to the United Kingdom, PHP-to-EUR transfers to 30 European countries via SEPA, PHP-to-NGN to Nigeria, PHP-to-GHS to Ghana, PHP-to-KES to Kenya, and PHP-to-IDR to Indonesia. All transfers show the live PHP exchange rate and total fee before you confirm.

On speed

Send PHP-to-USD directly to any US bank account. Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, and all major US banks are supported. The swap fee on PHP-to-USD is 1% of the transfer amount. Transfers typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days.

On cost

Send PHP-to-GBP directly to any UK bank account via Faster Payments. Barclays, HSBC UK, Lloyds, and NatWest are all supported. The swap fee on PHP-to-GBP is 1% of the transfer amount. Transfers typically arrive within minutes from a funded Grey balance.

PHP-to-EUR transfers reach 30 European countries via SEPA. PHP-to-IDR transfers are supported for Indonesia, a direct Asia-to-Asia corridor. Select the destination in the app, confirm the live rate and fee, and send. Grey shows the full cost before you confirm.

How much does it cost to send money abroad

PHP-to-USD and PHP-to-GBP are Group B currency pairs under Grey's fee structure. The swap fee is 1% uncapped on Group B pairs. PHP-to-EUR transfers to 30 European countries via SEPA are also supported at a competitive rate.

Every international transfer involves two costs: the visible fee and the exchange rate margin. Most services hide their margin in the rate, so a transfer advertised as zero fees can quietly cost more than one with a transparent fee. The only way to compare providers accurately is to look at what your recipient actually receives in their local currency, not the fee number alone.

Grey shows both numbers separately before you tap Send: the transfer fee and the exchange rate applied to your transfer. You see exactly what your recipient will receive in their local currency before you confirm. There are no adjustments after the fact.

If speed matters most
