LBC is one of the Philippines' most trusted names in logistics and remittance, with a network that reaches cities, provinces, and remote communities across the country. If your recipient prefers cash pickup and values widespread branch access, here's how to send money from the US for collection at an LBC branch through MoneyGram.
How the send and pickup flow works

Collect the pesos — no bank account required
Funds are typically available at the branch within minutes of the transfer being confirmed.
What makes LBC a practical pickup choice
National reach. LBC operates across the Philippines, including in provinces and municipalities that aren't well served by traditional banks. Its roots in logistics mean its branch network was built to reach communities, not just commercial centers.
Familiar and trusted. Many Filipino families have used LBC for years — for packages, documents, and padala. Choosing LBC for cash pickup means your recipient collects from a name they already know.
No bank account needed. Your recipient only needs an ID and the reference number you provide after sending. There's nothing to set up in advance.
Tracking. Once your transfer is sent, you can track it in real time through the MoneyGram app or website. For transfers sent via LBC, your recipient can also check availability status before traveling to a branch.
How exchange rates work for this transfer
The exchange rate determines how many pesos your recipient collects. It's the conversion applied to turn USD into PHP and includes a margin — the difference between the mid-market rate and the rate MoneyGram offers at the time of transfer.
Exchange rates change throughout the day. The rate shown when you begin a transfer is the rate confirmed at submission — not before. Always review the rate and the pesos your recipient will receive before you confirm the transfer.

How is LBC different from M Lhuillier or USSC for cash pickup?
All three are trusted MoneyGram cash pickup partners in the Philippines with wide branch networks. LBC's background in logistics gives it a particularly broad geographic reach, including in areas it serves primarily for parcel delivery.
