Collecting and paying out in the Philippines
The Philippines is a wallet-first market where e-wallets and bank transfers interoperate through national rails. This page explains those rails and what you can use through CVPay to collect PHP, pay out to Philippine bank accounts and move value in USDT.
How money moves in the Philippines
E-wallets
GCash and Maya are the most widely used wallets, and many customers prefer paying from a wallet over cards or bank transfer.
QR Ph
The national QR standard that connects banks and e-wallets, so a customer can pay a QR from either.
InstaPay and PESONet
The two interbank transfer systems: InstaPay is real-time and suited to smaller amounts; PESONet is a batch system suited to larger ones.
USDT
Cross-border businesses often fund Philippine payouts or repatriate collections in USDT. Choose the network deliberately.
