Inrem via PCHC — What does it mean?
“Inrem via PCHC” is a short-hand bank term for inward remittance through the PCHC. You’ll likely see this term in the description of an account transaction. An inward remittance is when money is sent from abroad to your domestic bank account. The money could be from family living abroad, friends or a business. If you see “Inrem via PCHC” on a transaction, that means money was sent to you from outside the Philippines. ¹
The Philippine Clearing House Corporation - PCHC
The Philippine Clearing House Corporation, or PCHC for short, helps process transactions and activities for the country’s banking industry. Founded in 1977, PCHC is supported by the Bankers Association of the Philippines (BAP) and works across 69 regions and 9,000 bank branches nationwide.
So if you want an electronic transfer, payment, or check cleared and deposited in the Philippines, it will be processed through PCHC. ²
How does Inrem via PCHC work?
To understand how Inrem via PCHC works, let’s examine how a payment is processed. When you receive money from abroad, it has to go through a few stages before reaching your account.
The sender’s bank must first ensure the sender has enough money in their account and approve the withdrawal of funds from their end. Next, the PCHC will be notified of funds to be deposited to your bank and account number.
PCHC will act as a gateway and process the money transfer. It will notify your bank in the Philippines that the money is coming. Your bank operates as a receiving bank for the funds and disperses them to you.

The PCHC payment gateway is a convenient way to pay government agencies and merchants online. Banks and other services may also use PESOnet to make domestic transfers with the PCHC gateway. ³
