    Yeah, PayPal would be the best option. You can also use Western Union money transfer.

    Thanks to all for the information.

    @ infogle
    How secure and fast is Xoom?
    Have you any experience sending money to the Philippines with Xoom?

    Thanks,

    Xoom is best service to send money to any country over world but you need to use a credit card or a USA bank account.

    One of my clients uses Xoom to send money to the Philippines and has had no issues. Her subcontractors haven't complained either. So far so good...

    So far, I've paid my subcontractors with Paypal.

    From what I've been told, people in the Philippines prefer Xoom over Paypal because the fees are lower - they get more of the money. I'm looking to open a Xoom account myself. Any issues people have had with paying outsourcers in the Philippines with Xoom?

    I tried Zoom.com to send a payment to a contractor in the Phillippines. The service was only for sending money to family and friends.
