LOCAL PAYOUT OR DIRECT WIRE?

The same destination can ask for different details

The Philippines does not use IBAN. Transfer providers may ask only for the bank and account number when paying locally. Direct international wires commonly request a SWIFT/BIC and sometimes the recipient address.

Prefer their banking screen, official statement or bank-issued incoming-payment instructions.

Use the official source links below. A passing format is not an institution match.

Call through a trusted number, not contact details contained in the payment-change message.
