Sending Money to your Pinay - Western Union
Western Union® is a global leader in money transfer and message services. With a history of pioneering service dating back more than 150 years. They also have many locations all over Philippines. While most other services require a telephone number for the recipient, Western Union® does not have that requirement. This is important as so many in the PI do not have a telephone.
We recommend them, even though their fees are usually higher. They are proven by years of experience. We have found them very Fast and Reliable.
Send Money to the Philippines - XOOM

Xoom Transaction fee's are less than Western Union. The fee is usually half that of Western Union (i.e. send $50 for only a $5 fee). Even on larger amounts the savings are substantial.
In many cases the locations are more convenient. Equitable PCI Bank has branches in small towns and shopping areas all over The Philippines. While you need Internet access and a bank account or credit/debit card to make a transaction, the recipient does not need either a bank account or Internet connection to get the money.
