Hello,
My wife has gone over to the philippines to help her family and I need to send her money from her (joint)HSBC account to her bank account in he philippines which is PNB.
I am looking for the cheapest way to get that money changed into pesos and into her account.
Can anyone give me advice on how to do this? I've never had to send more than a few hundred pounds before.
Many thanks
Mat:)

The process is the same as before only the amount has changed.

doesn't the 'worlds largest local branch' have a branch in the Phillippines for her to go to and take the money out your joint account for herself?

just in case you need to know:

You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
