Transfer money
from Australia to the Philippines
The process of sending money abroad can be tricky, but showing your loved ones that you care shouldn’t be complicated. With Sable Remit, transferring money from Australia to the Philippines has never been easier or more convenient – meaning you have one less thing to worry about.
Simplifying sending money abroad
Sending money abroad using your bank can be an arduous and expensive task, exacerbated by a never-ending chain of middlemen, manual paperwork and hidden costs.
Most banks add on hidden fees and tend to offer poor rates that push up the cost of your transfer. We know you go to great lengths for the people you love, but there’s an easier and cheaper way that’s just as secure.
Make sending money to the Philippines easy with us
Knowing what lies behind every remittance you send is what inspired us to create our core belief: “Para sa’yo ‘to,” which roughly translates to “This one’s for you,” – reminding us to keep doing our best to take care of you, so that you can continue to take care of others.
On top of that, we offer you the convenience of transferring money online through our online payment portal that is 100% secure and available 24/7. This enables you to order a transfer, regardless of the amount, at any point in time – it’s undoubtedly one of the simplest and fastest money transfer processes around.
What are the fees and exchange rates?
We know funds are tighter than usual. As such, it pays to shop for the most competitive deal when looking to transfer money back home.
When making international payments, costs are divided into two simple areas: fees and the exchange rate. In simple terms, the exchange rate determines how much of a particular currency another currency can buy. When you need to transfer money, you’ll want the greatest rate possible. We source the best rates, combined with low and transparent fees, ensuring we make the magic happen based on razor-thin margins.
We are able to pass these savings on to you through some of the lowest fees in the industry.
How to transfer money to any city in the Philippines
The difficulties around currency exchange and navigating different banking systems means that sending money from one country to another is completely different from a standard, domestic transfer. With years of experience specialising in personal solutions, and combined with our strong global presence, we can help you to easily transfer money to anywhere in the Philippines.

Frequently Asked Questions about online money transfers
It’s only natural to have questions when you’re choosing a forex provider. Here at Sable Remit, we understand that sending money can be intimidating. This is why we have worked very hard to make remittances an easy and worry-free process.
1. How long does it take to activate my account once I’ve registered?
As soon as we have received a copy of your passport and proof of residential address (signed and dated by yourself), we will activate your account on the same business day.
2. How are the exchange rates calculated?
Here at Sable Remit, we strive to get you the best rates. We canvass the market on your behalf, add a small margin to the rates we obtain and pass that rate on to you. The exchange rates we offer fall between the interbank rate (the truest exchange rate) and the rate offered by high street banks and bureaux de change.
The rates on our site are updated throughout the day but are indicative only.
3. Is Sable Remit safe?
As a member of Sable International, an organisation that provides cross-border financial and immigration services to a global community, we’re highly equipped to manage your transfers from Australia to the Philippines.
We’re registered and transactions are conducted on a secure and encrypted portal. We hold an Australian Financial Services License issued by ASIC to deal in foreign exchange (1st Contact Group - AFS License number 335 126).
4. Between which countries can I send funds?
Sable Remit exclusively transfers funds from Australia to the Philippines.
5. What documents do I need to send?
We are required by law to seek ample documentation from our clients.
Simply send a copy (scanned or photo) of the following:
- Copy of your passport - showing all four corners of the page
- Photo of yourself or selfie with your chosen ID (passport must show the biometric page)
- Proof of address - not older than 3 months (e.g. bank statement or utility bill)
6. How much are the transfer fees?
We have worked very hard to make transfer fees the lowest possible. This is why we only charge a flat fee of $3.50 per transfer.
7. Can I send money to a credit card?
Unfortunately, as of the moment, we do not have this capability.
8. What is the processing time for a transfer?
Once we have received all documentation associated with the transaction and your funds have cleared, the funds will be credited to your recipient’s bank account within one to three working days.
9. What are the minimum and maximum amounts that can be transferred?
There is a minimum sending amount of AUD 10 and maximum of AUD 1,500 per calendar month.
10. What methods of payment can I use to transfer the funds to your account?
We can only accept AUD EFT bank deposits in our bank account. Once you send a money request, we will send you our details where you can deposit the money. Please indicate your full name in the reference box. If this is not supplied, proof of payment must be emailed to us for us to allocate your fund transfer.
11. How can I be sure that my funds will be correctly allocated?
We use your name to cross-check details. Correct and accurate details will allow us to process your transfer as soon as possible. If a different reference is placed, please email us at info@sableremit.com to avoid processing delays.
12. What are the requirements of a registered money service business?
The law requires us to monitor any unusual or suspicious transactions of any size taking place where we have reason to believe the money is derived from illegal activity. We will report any suspicious international money transfers to the authorities.
The law also requires us to keep full records of all transactions, together with copies of identification provided. We are unable to process any transaction where this information is withheld. Proof of address and proof of funds may be required in certain cases – please see our “know your customer” guidelines for more information.
13. How secure is the site?
Our site uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption to protect your transaction details. This 128-bit encryption is the latest and strongest data encryption technique commercially available for securing information between you, our client and our website.
SSL works by encrypting/scrambling data from our website to your computer. The data is encrypted on our web server and can only be decrypted/unscrambled by the person with the correct decrypt/unscramble key. You can visually verify our site’s use of SSL in two places: The "s" in https in the site’s web address and by the padlock on the left-hand side of the address bar.
