How can I buy US stocks from the Philippines?

One way is stock tokens such as Apple, Tesla and Nvidia in Catch, which runs in Telegram and on the web, does not block the Philippines and trades 24/7 for 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum. You add money by card through MoonPay, charged in US dollars, or by sending USDC on Base from an exchange such as Coins.ph.

Ways to add money from the Philippines

By card: MoonPay runs card payments in Catch and lists the Philippines as supported. MoonPay has no Philippine peso option, so your card is charged in US dollars. Card top-ups start at $30. The first time, MoonPay asks for your name, date of birth and address, and sometimes a photo ID.

From an exchange: Coins.ph lists USDC on the Base network for withdrawals. Withdraw USDC, choose the Base network, and send it to the address Catch shows under Add money. Only send on Base or Robinhood Chain; other networks may be lost.

Your money sits in one balance, held in dollars, across Base and Robinhood Chain, and moving it between them has no Catch fee.

Where Catch is not a fit

Catch sells stock tokens held in your Catch wallet, not a brokerage account. If you want a brokerage account, Catch is not a fit.

Catch has no bank transfer option. You add money by card through MoonPay, or from another wallet: USDC or ETH on Base, or USDG or ETH on Robinhood Chain.
