We are upfront about any fees, and you can see them in the application before you send money to the Philippines.
Which other banks in the Philippines can you send money to?
There are many different banks in the Philippines, just like there are in Canada and every other country around the world. When you use Remitbee, we send your money directly from your account with us to the bank account in the Philippines without passing it through other middlemen.

How international money transfers work
International wire transfers take place using the SWIFT network. Transfer instructions are sent from the sender’s bank to the recipient’s bank and any fees are assessed before the transfer is approved. One of the banks will calculate the exchange rate CAD to PHP, and the money is moved between accounts.
