How to Use Your Pre-Paid Debit Card to Send Money to the Philippines

Whether you know someone who lives in the Philippines or you have an offshore bank account, sending money to the Philippines can be quick and easy. As long as you have a pre-paid debit card that is internationally accepted, you will be able to transfer money to the Philippines. The benefits of sending money with a debit card is that the transfer fees are lower, and the money gets to its destination at a much faster time.
