The street peso rate for your KYC and AML checks
EMpulse gives Philippine fintech compliance teams the rate people actually pay for pesos against the US dollar, delivered by API.
The compliance task
Compliance teams at Philippine fintechs review customer and counterparty activity, screen accounts and test whether declared amounts make sense. When the official rate and the street rate drift apart, a peso-to-dollar conversion can look normal on paper and still deserve a second look. Analysts need a reference they can cite in a case file, not a guess.
Today's street rate
As of 2026-11-12, the street rate for the US dollar in Philippines is 60.26 PHP per USD, according to the EMpulse Street FX Index (11 sources, confidence medium).
How the index fits your review
The index publishes the street PHP rate against the US dollar and USDT, and every figure carries a confidence class and the number of sources behind it. Your system can call the API when it checks a conversion, compare it with the declared rate and note how firm the reference was at that moment. It supports your analysts' judgment and sits alongside your own screening rules; it does not replace them.

Questions from compliance teams
- Is the index a sanctions or identity screening tool?
- No. It does not screen people or accounts. It supplies a street exchange-rate reference to use alongside your own KYC and AML checks.
- How do I know how firm a figure is?
- Every figure shows a confidence class and the number of sources behind it, so your team can decide how much weight to give it in a review.
- Where does the data come from?
- From transaction-based market data and quotes from independent public market sources.
- Can I try it before paying?
- Yes. You can start with a free API key and move to Starter or Pro when your checks need more. The plans are listed below.
