Pinoy Express: Philippine Remittance Money Transfer - Faster Than Ever

Pick-up Service

This service is not 'new'; as mentioned; it goes hand-in-hand with door-to-door delivery.

Where a Receiver is within 'commuting distance' of a delivery office, the Sender can specify or arrange a pick-up of the remittance: the Receiver and the delivery office arrange the time and place of pick-up. The arranged pick-up is safer for both Receiver and the delivery office, since only the Receiver and the deliveryman know the exact place and time of the pick-up. (Pick-ups at fixed offices, which can be watched easily by others, may be risky for both the Receiver, and the office.) Pick-up times can be arranged at mutually convenient hours (not necessarily office hours).

Pinoy Express also offers online cash pick-up at all Banco de Oro Branches, Shoemart (SM) stores, and One Network Bank Branches. The Receiver of the remittance can go to any BDO Branch, SM stores, or ONB branch to pick-up their remittance. See News on BDO, SM, and ONB pick-up for more details.

Bank Deposit

• Same or next day credit to all online bank accounts.
• Direct deposit to: rural banks or single-branch banks located within door-to-door delivery areas.
• US Dollar deposits also available (to include credit card payments).

Payment Services

Pay your bills, as if you were there! Hwag mag-alala. Ipabayad mo - Sa Pinoy Express!

In the course of our lives, we pay so many bills, that we take it for granted. When a Filipino worker is deployed overseas, the payment of bills and 'obligations' becomes a problem. True enough, a family member, or a relative can be requested to do the 'chore', but more often than not, problems arise: full payment is not made (there are deductions for 'expenses'); official receipts are not obtained or are mislaid, etc. There is no 'pakiusap' or 'utang na loob'. The Payment Service of Pinoy Express is a paid and professional service.

Payments Include:

• Loans (with banks or agencies) including payment for credit cards
• Insurance and Pre-need plans
• Utility bills (electricity, water, telephone, etc)
• School fees, to include International Correspondence School
• Hospitals and Mortuaries
• SSS and Pag-IBIG
• Almost and payment or requirement

Pinoy Express pays all bills/obligations on time, in full, with official receipts, strictly in compliance with Sender's instructions. The Sender is assured that the 'payment chore' is undertaken to his full satisfaction, as if he undertook the chore himself, had he been personally present.

Tele-Remittance

Remittance at your fingertips - just a text away!

The latest remittance product is tele-remittance: the use of the cell phone (SMS) to transfer remittance information, and confirm transactions. Globe and Smart, Philippine telecommunications companies, are the leaders in this field. Remittance transactions are collected by authorized collecting offices; information is transferred by computer software and/or SMS, withdrawals and pick-ups are done at Cash Centers, or ATMs (where cash cards are also provided).

Pinoy Express is an accredited agent of both Smart and Globe.

Cash-a-Lubong Service

An OFW, or even a tourist going to the Philippines, can avail of this service to have Peso cash delivered upon his/her arrival at the airport. This service is only available at Manila NAIA Terminal 1 or 2. Remit as usual, give your flight details; a deliveryman will meet you on your arrival, and deliver your remittance. There is no rush to change your foreign currency, either before departing for, or upon arriving in, Manila.

Special Requests

Almost any 'reasonable and doable' request can be considered, for example:

• Flowers for the sick, to be delivered together with the remittance.
• Wreaths with condolence notes or cards.
• Food (in small deliverable packages) for birth days or other special occasions.
• Greeting Cards
• Telegrams (especially for provincial customers, who do not have cell phones or land lines)

Marketing Representative

Bring your message to those markets with the buying power!

Many companies are now bringing their marketing campaigns to overseas Filipinos. While actual selling may not be in the scope of a remittance license, marketing, in the sense of disseminating information, distribution of flyers/posters, or similar materials, are well within the scope of a registered company. A Philippine company can reach the overseas Filipino markets in many countries by appointing Pinoy Express as its marketing representative.

'Collection' is within the scope and authority of the remittance licenses of Pinoy Express. Entrust your collections only with a licensed collection (remittance) company.

Special Discounts

Groups and associations (whether secular or religious) enjoy special discounts!

We are appreciative of the 'group business'; at the same time, we contribute a little something to the group's projects. Remitting by groups becomes very convenient for members - just sign up and confirm the amount! Remittance information is maintained in our database, there is no need to fill out( again) a form, unless the Sender amends or alters the remittance information, e.g. new Receiver, new address, new account number, etc.

Sorry - No Loans…

We are a Remittance Company and we can only undertake the service if funds were actually paid - in cash, by confirmed bank deposits, or other acceptable financial instruments. Sorry, we do not 'lend' or 'advance' money. We do not accept 'payments in kind' or 'collaterals' for payment.
