The people in the Philippines will receive the money in Philippine peso (PHP).

CoinCorner CEO Danny Scott said: “We’re excited to announce our latest partnership with Pouch and expand our Send Globally service to the Philippines.

Last week, CoinCorner announced a partnership with Bitnob to enable international payments from the UK and Europe to Africa, using the Send Globally service.

Pouch CEO Ethan Rose said: “The Lightning Network is the most efficient way to send money across borders, but until now the user experience has been too complex for the average user.

“We’re so pleased to announce the partnership between Pouch & CoinCorner, because it allows us to drastically simplify a remitter’s user experience while still taking full advantage of the utility of Lightning.”
