So many good choices. . . Today on my transfer with Wise the exchange rate was P55.92


According to Wise 55% of transfers are done within 20 seconds unless you are from Nigeria or North Korea.

The wife uses Sendwave. Money gets there quick, I was told, but with the time difference they collect the money the following day.

No offense but your request seems dodgy

US banks require a SS number to open up a checking or savings account for various reasons other than taxes or money laundering.

If you can't find a bank to help you then you found the Wong Foo King Bank.

Gents again my bit of a penny worth. I opened HSBC PHP and USD account from Dubai, no problem  and transferring from HSBC Dubai to PH was free. Since I am here I opened more accounts for exapmple at Securit ban which offer 3.5 % interest PA on USD if I recall. Seabank offering 4.5% on daily balance, Pag IBIG MP2 with my wife which a good 5 year investment. GCash stocks and Crypto, and Maya time deposits, great vehicles for some growth of you money lying dormant.,


PNB, BPI is great and big banks but shitty interest on savings.


Anyway good luck and the best to your choices.
