★★★★★ Reddit u/No-Notice-3132 r/Philippines_Expats

"TapTapSend is a WAY better option. The rates are higher than Wise, Remitly or Xoom. The receiver can either receive it via G-Cash, Cebuana Lhuillier, or their bank. No fees. Also their customer service teams respond very quickly when it comes to customer needs such as inquiries and incorrect transfers."

★★★★★ Reddit u/lanupijeko r/PakistaniTech

"taptapsend I've personally used that. They are fast. Beware when sending large amounts — when I need to make large transactions I divide them into multiple smaller ones. And the rate is much better than market. Even better than Wise."

#2 Wise
3.2 ★★★☆☆ (1)
"service is getting worse and worse" — speeds slipping from minutes to a week
★★★☆☆ Reddit u/Dropin7and11s r/transferwiser

"Has anyone noticed that Wise service is getting worse and worse. Last month there was problem connecting to my bank account which had been connected for 2 years. That lasted for about a month, now I can't make a bank transfer that doesn't take an entire week. Before it was just a few mins. I tried paying with my debit card which is double the cost of the bank transfer and it failed saying there was an issue with my Debit card."
