You can send money ONLINE from Saudi Arabia to the Philippines,
through the INTERNET,
from your Saudi bank account to a Philippine bank account.
You will save time, save taxi and snack money, and you can send any time any day.
This is truly good for those whose salaries are deposited to a bank.
But even if your salary is not deposited to a bank, you can still open your own bank account in KSA, deposit money, and send money to the Philippines ONLINE when needed.
Here are 6 banks in Saudi Arabia that you can use to send money to the Philippines ONLINE:
- Riyadh Bank
- Bank AlBilad
- Al Rajhi Bank
- Arab National Bank (ANB)
- SAMBA
- National Commercial Bank (NCB)
NCB is also known as AlAhli Bank. Its website is alahli.com.
How much is the remittance fee for sending money online?
Ranges from 15 to 19 riyals
Is there an additional fee charged by the receiving bank or remittance partner in the Philippines?
Usually, yes. The same with regular remittance sent OFFLINE.
If the Saudi bank is a partner of the Philippine counterpart, usually there is no charge. If there is a charge, it is lower.
Fee ranges from 100 pesos to 200 pesos.
Ask your family to open an account at a Philippine bank, which is a partner of your Saudi bank.

How to send ONLINE:
1. Register in your bank’s online banking.
Prepare:
. your user name
. your password
. your bank account no.
. your ATM card no.
. your ATM card PIN
. your phone and your cell phone no.
2. Check and re-check data you are entering.
3. Look for “Telemoney” or “Enjaz” or “Speedcash” or Tahweel Al Rajhi” or Transfer” or “Funds Transfer” or “Remittance”.
For remittance, you need:
you beneficiary’s bank name and bank account no.
With some banks, you might need first to register at their remittance unit, and you might first need to make your first remittance with them at their branch:
ANB — Telemoney
Bank AlBilad — Enjaz
NCB — Quick Pay
Samba — Speedcash
Al Rajhi — Tahweel Al Rajhi
If I open an account in a Saudi bank, what should I bring?
Your Iqama card should be enough.
But some banks require your Certificate of Employment that contains your job contract dates, monthly salary, and occupation.
Is there a limit to the money that I can send online?
Some Saudi banks have set their own maximum limits to comply with anti-money laundering laws. They also have the option to ask for more information about your source of funds if you are sending every month much more than your salary, or much more than the average salary of OFW professionals and managers.
Based on comments online, the maximum limits vary from 7,000 riyals to 50,000 riyals per month, the most common being 20,000 and 25,000 riyals per month.
As long as you are sending money that you have earned legitimately in Saudi, then there should be no problem about the amount you’re sending.
Note: The Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) has announced in 2011 it will set a maximum amount for outward remittance transactions. But up to now, we can’t find any definite maximum limit. What we see is the policy that any person intending to carry in cash 60,000 Saudi riyals or more out of the country must declare the money at the point of exit.

Hi.. We have experience that the bank account number we told them they said is "error account" is this posible? Or can they send money from saudi direct to metrobank phil account?
Hi Mhary Lopez: About invalid account no.: Is your account a BDO account? Put 00 before your 10-digit no. para maging 12 digits
Hi Sol Marie Hatta: Sabi sa website ng Al Rajhi, 20 riyals ang charge nila for remittance to the Philippines. Pero dahil online ang gagamitin mo, baka naman mas cheaper.
Ma'am ask ko lang usually pagnagpapadala ako thru online from al rahji to bdo online wala pang 24 hrs machcheck mo na sa bdo online. Pero this time almost 26 hrs na wala pa rin sa account ko ung remittance..
Hi, I send money to Phils thru BDO cash online to be pick up to Palawan pn shop. its just yesterday but tell now they did not receive it.
Hi David: Your recipient should have already claimed the money you sent. Ask your recipient to try another Palawan Pawnshop branch. Check again the reference number.
Remittance via Al Rajhi Online banking to BDO: Marami siguro kayong nagsabay-sabay ang dating sa BDO, so mahaba ang queue, bukod sa kahapon lang ang start of the New Year. I hope andian na mamaya
Hi my employer send my salary the bank on the receipt is bdo…but i did not give him the acc number of bdo…..and it dont have reference #….how can my mother claim the money on phillipines…
what reference will be used
there is unique reference
and SEQ on the receipt
Hi Marivic: You said there is unique reference and SEQ on the receipt. You can send that to your mother so she can pick up the money. The question is did your employer write the name of your mother as the recipient or beneficiary?
Hello po…paano po ba ang magpadala thru online? Kaoopen lng po ng amo ko ng ATM ko last month (Riyad bank) gusto ko po kasi sana akl na magpadala ng sahod ko…para po anytime na kelangan makakapagpadala ako agad…paano ba ba ang gagawin ko?
padala online: First, alamin mo yong ATM card no., account number at ATM PIN mo. Baka kelangan din ang iqama no. Punta ka sa website ng bank mo, at hanapin mo yong "register online" at mag-register. You can read instructions bago mag-register, halimbawa ito for Riyadh Bank
Kapag enrolled ka na, hanapin mo ang enroll beneficiary or transfer funds online, or send money online. Alamin mo rin ang bank name, account number at Swift code ng bank ng recipient mo. Hanapin mo rin ang fees to send baka lang nag-increase na.
Parang nag-increase na ang international transfer fees: 50 to 55 riyals na. I'll check the other banks
Good day to all.. I have a question. How many days will it takes for sending money from saudi to the bank of the Philippines (BPI)?

Alinma Bank? Sorry I don't know the charge. Pero ranging from 15 to 25 riyals naman ang usual charge for remittances from Saudi to Phils. In 1 or 2 days.

heloo po. ilang days po bago ma receive ang pera padala kung mag hulog thru online in al rajhi bank to land bank
Good day po, ask ko lang po, matatanggap po ba nagpadala ako na click ko online cash through al rajhi mubasher to bpi.
Hi Bert, partner ng Al Rajhi Bank ang BPI, so makaka-send ka to a BPI account through online, pero ang alam ko pumunta ka muna with your iqama to Tahweel Al Rajhi to register your account and your beneficiaries and beneficiaries’ BPI accounts. Icheck mo na rin na yong naka-register na phone sa account mo ay yong phone na ginagamit mo para kung meron ka ring debit card o remittance card o payroll card, puede ka ring mag-download ng mobile app ng Tahweel Al Rajhi at subukan mo kung okay na (meaning wala nang masyadong glitches) yong international remittance nila via mobile banking.
Thank you, may account kasi ako sa al rajhi banl. Yun ginamiit ko pag transfer, kaso na click ko yung foreign ONLINE CASH. wala akong nailagay na account No. Sa beneficiary ko.
Hi Bet, kung na-send ng Al Rajhi ang pera sa BPI for your beneficiary na walang account number, ito ay for cash pickup. Dapat merong reference number na maibigay mo sa recipient para ma-claim niya. Tingnan mo yong details sa transaction mo. Kung hindi na-process ang sending at na-debit lang sa account mo kasi incomplete details ang beneficiary mo or requirement nila na iregister muna ang beneficiary, dapat i-credit nila uli yong na-debit na amount sa account mo. Here in the Philippines, usually it takes a week or 2 weeks ang pag-reverse nila sa mga unprocessed or transfers na merong errors. Baka ganun din diyan.
Thank you po,
May 9-digit # sila nasend. Yes na debit na ng al rajhi. And lahat ng details na fill-upon ko nman. Na click ko lang kasi nun “direct foreign – cash online” yung service type.
Good day po ask lang 2times na po nag send Ang employer ko online from NCB bank to PNB po.then Ang charge is 57sar. Then pag dating po sa pinas but kulang Ng 2k peso po like nagpadala po amo ko Ng 1,442sar. Pag inquire po mg kapatid ko 16klsng dumating ask lng po my charge po ba Ang PNB? Next padala Naman po 2800sar then pag dating sa pinas 32k lang .parang Ang labo Naman po
Hi Jac, mahal ang 57sar na remittance fee, dapat up to 25 to 30 sar lang. Ask your employer if they have a Bank AlBilad account para Enjaz ang gamitin nila (after 2 days usually makukuha). Puede ring Arab National Bank, Telemoney naman ang remittance service nila. Yong PNB malamang 150 to 200 pesos lang ang incoming remittance fee nila, pero ang nakadale niyan is yong foreign exchange rate nila, masyadong mababa. I checked yong foreign exchange rates nila sa website nila — 10.60 lang ang SAR to PHP nila samantalang 12.60 sa Nailas Money Changer website. Sa BDO website, 11.14 ang exchange. When my relative was in Saudi, peso amount na yong ipinapadala at nakukuha ko naman yong exact peso amount na ipinapadala niya. Pero kasi siya mismo ang pupunta sa remittance centers. Sana if your employer can pay you in US dollars and then ask them to send to you via Cash pickup at your bank. Partners of Enjaz: BDO, BPI, China Bank, Bank of Commerce, MLhuillier, Cebuana, Palawan Pawnshop.
Partners din pala ng NCB ang BDO, BPI, RCBC, AUB, Metrobank, ChinaBank, okay siguro na magpasend ka na lang sa BDO via cash pickup. Then kung hindi puedeng pickup in SAR, ask mo kung kunin mo in peso at how much is the exchange rate, at least ang gagamitin nilang exchange rate ay yong andon sa monitor nila (exchange rate for the day).
Ilang oras bago pumasok ung Bank transfer sa account ko im using a card of rcbc ?
Hi Aina, maaaring via Telemoney Saudi yan kasi yan ang partner ng RCBC sa Saudi. Puedeng within 30 mins to 3 days ang delivery ng Telemoney, depende sa pinili ng sender na service.
iniwan ko po atm ko n rcbc sa pamilya ko. so ngtransfer po amo ko sa account number ko. usually ilang days po bago pumasok sa account ko ang pera? pasagot po
Hi heart, karamihan sa mga remittance ay next day, pero naglalaro yan sa the same hour, or the same day up to 3 days. Kung nag-send ng Saturday, puedeng Monday na.
kasi po nung 9 ng gabi dito sa saudi sinend maam so which is thursday 11pm here. cheneck ngayon monday dun sa pilipinas wala prn po. thanks po sa reply
Hi heart, ganon ba? I hope naman bukas meron na. Kung wala pa bukas o Wednesday, sabihin mo na lang sa boss mo at icheck mo na rin kung correct yong bank name, account name and account number.
Hello po ask ko lng kc napadala amo ko al rajhi bank – union bank ko sa.pinas kninang 3am sa saudi usually ilamg arw po bago ma appear sa bank ko po?
Hi Khate, hindi remittance partner ng Al Rajhi ang Union Bank, so maaaring 2 to 3 days. Ang partners ng Al Rajhi ay BDO, BPI, Landbank, PNB, Metrobank, AUB, RCBC and Chinabank.
Hello po ask ko lang po may nagpadala po kase sakin from saudi gamit nia po is alrajhi online mobile banking po ilang araw po kaya mag aappear sa account ko which is union bank po before po kase nagtransfer naman cia wala pang 1hr nareceived ko na but kaninang 3am po hanggang ngayon wala pa po nag aappear sa account ko

Hi Merceditas, more than 10 years na! Ang bank account kapag hindi nagagalaw in 10 years, ibinibigay na ng bank sa Philippine Treasury. Anong remittance ang ginamit? Ipinadala ba nia sa bank para ma-pickup mo? Ang alam ko kapag hindi napi-pickup ay ibinabalik sa sender ang pera. Depende kung anong remittance ang ginamit. Nagtaka lang ako na hindi nio ito napag-usapan ng asawa mo in 2010, umabot pa ng 2012. Di ba, isang padala pa nga lang na hindi matanggap ay tatanungin nio na kung bakit hindi natanggap o nakuha?
