Remit Overseas/Add Money in Ph

Why is it better to send to an account in my name, rather than send it directly to my relatives?

  • Because this results in lower fees - you are doing one transfer only

  • And you can stay in control - you can make transfers to whomever you want, when you want, and how much you want.  

What if I don't have a bank account where I work? What if I get paid in cash?

  • You can do an "Over the Counter" transfer to the nearest Remittance Center. 

    • Just provide your Netizen account details and deposit to Community Rural Bank of Romblon Inc. or Netbank (A Rural Bank Inc.), or use the SWIFT code: CUOBPHM2XXX

  • You can use your Remittance App like Wechat, Alipay, and others to transfer money to your Netizen Account.
