Why senders trust RisingTide

Intelligent decisions

Ranked by pesos delivered

We add up every cost — transfer fee, funding surcharge, FX markup — and rank providers by the PHP that actually lands. Providers can't pay to rank higher.

Educated transparency

See the math, not just the winner

Every quote is timestamped and labeled: live API rate, verified fee schedule, or estimate. Tap any provider to see exactly where your money goes.

User-defined optionality

Built around your transfer

Filter by amount, payout — GCash, bank deposit, cash pickup — speed, and funding method. The best provider for $200 to GCash isn't the best for $2,000 to BDO.

Waiting for a better rate?
