Good news to OFWs around the world and their families and loved ones in the Philippines.
Sendwave, an international money transfer
service, announces a new partnership with Filipino music icon Ogie Alcasid.
This collaboration highlights Ogie’s support for Sendwave’s mission of
providing overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) with remittances that are secure,
fast, and chargeno transfer fees*.
Janice Chang, Global Brand Lead for
Sendwave Philippines, expressed her enthusiasm on the collaboration: “We're so
excited to welcome Ogie Alcasid to the Sendwave community. Ogie is beloved
among Filipino families all around the world for his talent, humor, and his
deep connection to family values, making him the perfect ambassador for
Sendwave. With Ogie on board, we’re confident we can further our mission of
helping OFWs support their loved ones, no matter the distance by sending money
with no transfer fees.”
With this, Alcasid shared that he has
long admired OFWs’ commitment to provide for their families.
“Noon pa man, saludo na ako sa ating mga OFW. Hindi biro ang kanilang
pagkawalay at pakikibagay sa ibang bansa para magtrabaho. Naniniwala ako na sa
tulong ng Sendwave, makakampante ang ating mga OFW na magpadala ng pera sa
kanilang mga pamilya sa Pilipinas nang sigurado, mabilis, at affordable " he said.
(“I really look up to our OFWs. Being
away from home and adapting to another country for work is so hard. I believe
that, with Sendwave, our OFWs can feel confident that their families back home
in the Philippines will receive their remittances in a safe, fast, and
affordable way.”)
Sendwave was founded in 2014 and since it
kicked off operations in the Philippines in 2021, it has simplified the
remittance process for OFWs in an affordable way. Users can send money directly
from their phones through the Sendwave app, as easily as sending a text
message. The app ensures that hard-earned money reaches loved ones fast,
eliminating the need for form-filling, queuing, visiting banks or remittance
centers. Sendwave supports transfers to bank accounts, cash pickups and mobile
wallets, offering a hassle-free experience without additional transfer fees.
Chang emphasized the importance of OFW
remittances: “In 2023, OFW remittances constituted nearly 7.7% of the country's
GDP. These remittances are essential to Filipino families, so it is our mission
at Sendwave to ensure that OFWs can send their hard-earned money home easily,
safely, and affordably."
As part of Zepz, Sendwave continues to
expand its global reach, and with Ogie Alcasid as its new ambassador, the
company is ready to launch exciting new campaigns to help OFWs stay connected
with their families back home.
