We, Asia United Bank (AUB), can provide your beneficiary in the Philippines an ATM remittance card that you can use every time you remit. The ATM card is FREE, and requires no initial deposit.

Everytime you remit, service charge of the exchange is only QR15. Best of all, the money will be credited 10 minutes after you transact in the counter.

You can transact your remittances through the ff:

City Exchange

Al Mana Exchange

Union Exchange

Al Sayrafa Exchange

Al Dar Exchange

Please send me an email at jaymarcaceres/-a-t-/gmail.com for more of your queries about how the application shall go through.

Thanks kabayan.

For me personally I am sending money to Phils by bank to bank. Some are using Smart Money and Western Union. For Smart money and western union they can receive the money within the day or after 1 working day (not so sure) but for the bank to bank it will took maximum of 3 days. If you are sending to your own personal account I suggest you to send money thru bank to bank bcoz you can see there your cash movement... c",)

where is your location ? If you are just in Doha, you can send money thru Gulf Exchange company and if you are outside doha ( industrial, raslaffan, messaied) also available.. Their are several filipino counters there where they can help you. You can send it thru Bank to Bank. Like BDO AND METROBANK. If you have an account on this said banks, on the next day , your family can get the money directly. You can inquire thru this number 4383-274/285/287/290.... the charge is QR15 only irregardless of how much you gonna send....

I have been using Al Jazeera Exchange for 3 years and not once did i have a problem with them. Always on time ang remittance to Manila. You can call them at 4363595 and look for Nene, she is a very helpful kabayan. Charges is usually 10 or 20 riyal depends on your choice.
