I signed up for a gcash account, and just usually do money transfers directly to my gcash account. Can withdraw money using the gcash atm card, withdrawal fee is just 15 php.

If you're a tourist here, not so easy to get GCash or Maya set up, but using Wise/Remitly to send money to pick up from agent is cheaper than ATM if you send a larger amount.

Why use 🏧 when you can use western union? Lower transaction fee no matter how much amount. I only pay 100 peso. I send money to myself.

I don’t know for certain, because I haven’t moved to the Philippines. But, I have heard Schwab brokerage has an ATM free checking option? You would have to contact Schwab for the details, but it might be worth checking into?

As a Canadian you can use your Wealth Simple card. They reimburse all ATM fees charged at foreign machines.

I don’t get whats the complaint here. That fee is from the bank. You are using card that is in different currency than the country you are in, they charge fees and the fee depends on which banks atm you withdraw. Its same here. If you don’t want that fee withdraw from an atm that gives dollars or pounds instead of pesos

GCash is key, than transfer money tru Remitly to your GCash for the best exchange rate, Wester union is also possible but most lower exchange rate, with Wester union you can also cash out at one of there offices without having GCash.
