Philippine Peso cannot be funded directly and must be bought via conversion from a supported currency (e.g. USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD) before payout. You cannot fund them directly.2
Funds must be paid out immediately after conversion and can't be held in your wallet. FXellence may auto-convert surplus balances after 5 days.3
Local payments in Philippine Pesos do not support trace or recall functionality.4
Payments to charities or non-profits are currently not supported.5
For PHP payments, Instapay is used for amounts under PHP 50,000 to eligible banks, while PESONet applies to larger amounts or banks not connected to the instant scheme.6
Philippine Peso is a free-floating currency issued by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.7
