Tips

GCash and Maya delivery is usually faster and cheaper than a bank deposit. Ask your recipient which wallet they prefer.
'Express' options are minutes but cost more. If your recipient does not need cash today, pick Economy.
On payday (25th-1st) some exchange houses run zero-fee promotions. Check Al Ansari and LuLu on the day.
