BDO, Remitly make real-time Overseas Pinoy remittances a reality

Whether it’s midnight in California or noon in Manila, overseas Filipinos and their families share one common need: reliable and secure remittance services.

For overseas Pinoys, sending hard-earned money home is not just a transaction: it’s tuition, groceries, and bills. When they are a thousand miles away, who can they call for help?

Remitly, one of the leading remittance companies in the United States, understands the importance of being available for customers anytime, anywhere.

This is why they consider BDO Unibank Inc. (BDO) as one of their strongest partners in the Philippines.

With BDO’s 24/7 customer assistance and quality service, Kabayans who send money to their BDO accounts via Remitly can trust that their needs always come first.

A partnership built on trust and empathy

Before becoming a trusted name in cross-border payments, Remitly started as a digital-first service in 2011, with the Philippines as its first market and BDO as one of its first partners.

Back then, most people still relied on brick-and-mortar channels for money transfers; needless to say, it was crucial for beneficiaries to receive money transfers safely and on time.
