I can’t express my joy in words when I came to know that my younger sister has passed her school level exams with flying colours. In fact, when I heard that she had stood first in her entire school, I felt like adoring her for making me so proud like never before. One of the reasons of being overjoyed is that I had been her tutor in her younger years. But it is not that I am responsible for her success today, it was because of her hard work and dedication that she has achieved this level of success.           

As an elder brother it was my duty to do something to let her know that I was happy. So, I called my mom and asked her what I should gift sister. Mom said that my little sis had been hankering for a bicycle for a long time, but dad didn’t have enough to give her one of the new fancy bikes.

Well, that was enough for me to reward her for the great achievement. I set about transferring money online through my global service provider Remit2Home. It didn’t matter that my sister didn’t have a bank a/c. All I had to do is remit the money to one of the 415 Equitable PCI Bank Branches across 53 provinces offering Cash Pickup Facility. Under the Cash Pickup facility, my sister would be able to collect funds without having a bank a/c, on providing a proof of identity that must be same as selected by me while initiating the transaction.

With OFWs like us money remittance used to be a big deal. In fact, even till a few years back, we had to wait for quite a long time for our US bank account verification so that we could transfer money. My Filipino acquaintances in the US tell me that today all this has become redundant. Quite a number of things have changed in the recent times with the coming of Remit2Home, the global online money transfer service provider.

With Remit2Home’s Automated Clearing House (ACH), transfer of money is an instant facility that is completely web-based. This means, that one does not need to wait long for bank account verification. All one needs to do is provide his/her bank account information and order a money transfer. The moment the account gets verified, money is transferred automatically. 

The facility is such that one can directly debit their existing US bank account and credit the Remit2Home account, which will then send the money to the receiver account specified by the sender.

Today I found one of Filipino friend worried in the office. He was constantly making phone calls to someone and puffing cigarettes one after another. At times he was even shouting at someone over the phone.

Later at lunch break, I asked him what the problem is. Why he is behaving like that?

And to my astonishment I found it to be the same old remitting problem. But this time the situation has turned very complicated. Actually his wife called him up several days back to inform that she needs money to repay a bank loan back at Philippines. And this friend of mine uses bank as the medium to remit money, but due to some major problem he although has sent the amount within time, but his wife hasn’t yet received it. And as today was the deadline to repay the loan his wife called him up again to say that she has not received the money. My friend was very nervous, and was wondering what to do.

Then to ease his tension and to solve his problem within a minute I told him about the Credit Card sending option in Remit2Home.

He instantly did the whole transaction just by following the instruction provided in the Remit2Home website. He selected “Credit Card” from the Send Money Options. Then, he entered the dollar amount that he wants to send. And lastly, he entered his beneficiaries name and also his credit card details. And the process is over within minutes. He then called up her wife to inform that he has sent the money and now she can receive it. He was so satisfied that he have done the remittance perfectly.

For OFWs like us Remit2Home always come up with something new and unique. Remitting through bank has almost become redundant after the launch of Remit2Home.

It will be hard to find a Filipino in US who is not aware of Remit2Home. Even the new OFWs are also immediately introduced to the multi facility of Remit2Home by their predecessors.

One such predecessor is me. I was introduced to a Filipino named Amor by one of my friend. Amor has come down to Miami to work in a bookstore. He wanted to know how I remit money. I told him about Remit2Home, and also helped him to get registered.

Immediately after the registration was over he got 25 minutes of calling card free. He was so happy with the offer. He tested the offer by calling at home, and yes he was not charged for 25 minutes.

Even I was happy to help someone from my homeland.
