Send Money from Denmark to the Philippines

Years ago, to send money from Denmark to the Philippines, most Filipinos in Denmark use international money transfer operators such as MoneyGram and Western Union and through bank wire transfers.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Because there were only about a few thousands of Filipinos in Denmark back then, there were not a lot of remittance companies in Denmark that cater solely for money transfers to the Philippines, unlike in other European countries.

Now, there are three BDO remittance partners in Denmark — TAVEXWISE, RIA Financial and Small World Financial.
