A remittance center is a financial service provider that allows consumers to send or receive money anywhere in the world, including the United States. These companies, which have several physical locations, provide a traditional manner for Filipinos without a bank account, PayPal account, or internet connectivity to send money.
All around the Philippines, about 20,000 money transfer outlets are operating, including far-flung barangays where banks and ATMs are sparse. These money service firms attract many unbanked Filipinos because of their various financial services such as pawning, bills payment, foreign exchange, and e-loading, in addition to their accessibility.
Customers can send cash to their loved ones, make payments, or claim remittances from overseas by simply going to the nearest remittance center. Money is typically transferred and ready for pick-up within minutes or less.
OFWs who send money back home, as well as their families who receive such remittances, are frequently served by a remittance center in the Philippines. It also allows online money transfers and home-based enterprises to collect payments from clients who do not have a credit card or a savings account to receive payments.
