Field notes.Verify the instructions before the wire

Bank structure comes first

The deposit is separate from government and service fees. Published instructions describe an applicant account at accredited private banks; the DBP instructions name PRA as beneficiary. Obtain current, bank-specific instructions from PRA before remitting. Do not copy bank details from a blog or assume one account structure applies everywhere.

Confirm the transfer details

Use current written instructions obtained directly from PRA and the receiving bank. Verify beneficiary spelling, currency, bank identifiers and how to enter the applicant’s full passport name, date of birth and passport number. Confirm instructions through independently checked contact details before sending a large transfer.

Keep the evidence

PRA calls for inward remittance from abroad. Retain the transfer confirmation and confirm the amount credited after any correspondent fees. Ask how the receiving bank will issue the deposit certificate and what PRA requires to connect it to your application.

Do not guess the LOI contact

The live overview and older remittance PDF list different Letter of Introduction contact emails. Confirm the current contact and the process for the chosen bank. This guide does not reproduce payment account numbers.
