Taipan Henry Sy’s BDO Unibank partnered with Japan’s Seven Bank Ltd., making it easier for Filipinos in Japan to send money back home using a mobile app.
BDO, the country’s biggest bank, said in a statement the tie-up covered the upcoming launch of an international money transfer service to the Philippines.
This would allow customers transfer money from Japan to the Philippines by downloading the “Seven Bank International Money Transfer” application on their mobile phones.
“One of the challenges encountered by Filipino workers in Japan is not being able to visit banks and remittance centers during daytime because of their work schedule, ” BDO said.
“But with the alliance with Seven Bank, Filipinos can start to send money to their loved ones back home through a mobile app anytime, anywhere, ” it added.
The said service complements BDO’s own remittance facility under its remittance brand, BDO Remit.
