Built by someone who sends padala too.

Hi, I'm Angie. I'm a Filipina from the island of Bohol, and I've lived abroad for years.

Like millions of Filipinos around the world, I send money home to my family regularly. And like most of us, I used to spend way too much time trying to figure out: which provider gives the best rate today? Is Wise better than Remitly this week? What about the fees? How fast does it arrive?

I'd check one provider, then another, then ask in a Facebook group, then get three different answers. Every single time.

The name says it all. "Bantay" means watchful, vigilant — something every Filipino values. And "padala" is the word we all use for sending money home. Together, BantayPadala is the smartest way to make sure more of your hard-earned money reaches the people who matter most.

What makes BantayPadala different

There are other comparison sites out there. But none of them are built for us. They serve everyone, which means they serve no one deeply. They don't know that your nanay picks up cash at Cebuana Lhuillier in the province. They don't know that your family uses GCash. They don't understand that when we compare rates, we think in pesos received, not fees charged.

BantayPadala is built from the Filipino experience, for Filipinos. Every feature, every filter, every word on this site comes from understanding how we actually send money home.

Our promise to you

We will always rank providers by where your family receives the most pesos — even if that provider doesn't pay us anything. We make money through affiliate commissions (you can read the full details here), but that never, ever influences our rankings.

If you find a better rate somewhere that we're not showing, tell me. I'll add it. This is a tool for all of us.

Mabuhay,

Angie
