1 Funds will generally reach a recipient's bank account in minutes, but funds sent to first-time BPI receivers in the Philippines may take up to 2 hours, and funds sent to Landbank between 10 pm and 1 am local Philippines time may be delayed. Funds may be delayed or services unavailable based on certain transaction conditions, including amount sent, destination country, currency availability, regulatory and foreign exchange issues, required receiver action(s), identification requirements, Agent location hours, differences in time zones, or selection of delayed options. Additional restrictions may apply. See Terms and conditions for details.
