You can use OrbitRemit to transfer money to a person in the Philippines who wants to collect it as cash from a physical location.
Step 1: Get recipient information
To make a transfer to a person in the Philippines for cash pickup you will need the following information for them:
- Full name
- Address
- Mobile number
Once you have the required information you can begin the process.
Step 2: Create a transfer
If this is your first time, you can read our guide to creating your first transfer:
Learn how to create a transfer
Step 3: Create a new recipient
For first-time cash pickups you will need to create a new recipient, even if you have sent to their bank account previously.
When creating the recipient, select 'A person who will collect funds' as the type of person you wish to pay.
The details you enter for your recipient must match exactly the details displayed on the Identity document they present to collect the funds. This includes middle name details if they exist. If there is any mismatch between what you entered and what is on their document there could be delays in processing the transfer.
Step 4: Pay for your transfer
Once you have completed the transfer details you will be given the details of how to pay. To ensure your transfer is processed without delay it is important that you pay as soon as possible. All the details you need will be provided once you have finalised the transfer.
