Match names exactly
Cash pickup can be refused if the name doesn’t match the recipient’s ID, including middle names.
Plan around holidays
Demand rises before Christmas; send a few days early.
E-wallets for speed
GCash and Maya are often the fastest and cheapest way to reach family.

Common questions.
Can I send to GCash from Canada?
Yes, several Canadian providers support GCash and Maya payouts. Enter the recipient’s registered mobile number.
What ID does my family need for cash pickup?
A valid government-issued ID with a name that matches the transfer, plus the reference number.
How do I know a provider is safe?
Use a provider registered with FINTRAC, Canada’s financial intelligence agency, and check reviews. Never send money to someone you’ve only met online.
Is there a limit on how much I can send?
Providers set their own limits and will ask for more verification for larger amounts. Transfers of CAD 10,000 or more are reported to FINTRAC as required by law; that’s routine.
