Raising money in the Philippines is the easy part — getting the money to a local bank account is the real test.
Raising money online in the Philippines comes with an extra hurdle: many global fundraising platforms only pay out to bank accounts in a short list of countries, and the Philippines often isn't on it — so even when you can collect donations, getting the money to a local bank account is the hard part. Many global platforms don't support payouts to Philippine bank accounts.
Ralli is built global-first. It pays creators direct to their own the Philippines bank account — or to a stablecoin wallet where that's easier — typically within about 48 hours, for a flat 2% plus a small low-cost rail cost.
| Platform | Est. fees on $5,000 | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| Ralli — flat 2% + low-cost rails | $150 | 3.0% |
| GoFundMe | $445 | 8.9% |
| Indiegogo | $600 | 12.0% |
Estimated fees on a $5,000 raise across 1,000 small contributions; actual rates vary by country and payment method.
When supporters are spread between the Philippines and abroad, low-cost rails and direct local payout keep far more of each gift than cross-border card processing on a platform that may not even pay out locally.
