Convert US Dollar to Philippine Peso
Live mid-market rate and a real fee comparison for sending USD to PHP. Filipino workers in the US supporting family.
The rate is not the cost
Every provider takes a spread on top of the mid-market rate — and some also charge a flat fee. For USD to PHP, that spread typically ranges from 0.5% (Wise on liquid pairs) to 3%+ (banks and traditional remittance). On a 500 USDtransfer, that's the difference between landing a meaningful amount more or less in PHP.
For this corridor, the providers most worth comparing are Remitly, Xoom, Wise. ChainFX pulls live quotes from each and shows you the real receive amount — not the marketing rate.

What is the current USD to PHP exchange rate?

What's the cheapest way to send USD to PHP?
For this corridor, the most competitive providers are typically Remitly, Xoom, Wise. Real costs depend on amount, payment method, and payout method (bank vs cash pickup). ChainFX lets you compare them side-by-side with live fees.
Is the mid-market rate the rate I actually get?
No. The mid-market rate is the rate banks use between each other. Every consumer provider adds a spread (usually disclosed as "exchange rate" markup) plus sometimes an explicit fee. ChainFX always shows you both so you can see the true cost.
Can I chain USD through another currency to PHP?
Sometimes yes — for example, sending USD → USD → PHP can be cheaper than direct in thin-corridor pairs. ChainFX is built specifically for this: it lets you build multi-step chains and shows what actually lands at the end.
