Overseas Filipinos in Japan continue to favor the strong alliance between two trusted banks for safe and real-time money transfers. Such is the experience of Arianne Matucading and Den Mojica, who have benefited firsthand from the ease and security of BDO Unibank, Inc. and Japan’s Seven Bank in facilitating fast and reliable remittances.
“They’ve made sending money to my family simple and stress-free,” shared Matucading, a sales executive working in Japan for 11 years now. “One time, I urgently needed to send money for a hospital bill, and Seven Bank’s swift service allowed me to transfer the funds immediately. BDO then made it easy for my family to withdraw the money without issues. Their dependable partnership gives me peace of mind, whether for emergencies or regular support.”
Mojica, a customer service officer in Japan shares this experience, praising BDO and Seven Bank for making sure her beneficiaries receive remittances quickly and without hassle.
“The Seven Bank app is reliable and easy to use, and their staff is accommodating to client’s inquiries. Some of my relatives in the Philippines, with limited access to ATMs, can receive my remittances effortlessly through BDO’s cash payout services,” Mojica said.
Speed and convenience at the palm of their hand
Currently, clients can easily transfer money from Japan to the Philippines using Seven Bank’s International Money Transfer app on their mobile phones.
“We saw that one hurdle for Filipino workers in Japan is visiting banks and remittance centers during daytime because of their work schedule,” said BDO Senior Vice President and head of Remittance, Genie T. Gloria. “Our alliance with Seven Bank is a game changer, allowing 24×7 remittance through their mobile app and ATM network of 27,000 all over Japan.”
Seven Bank President and Representative Director Masaaki Matsuhashi echoed this sentiment, recognizing BDO’s reliability as a partner committed to delivering top-notch services to its customers. “In the remittance business in general, there are some cases wherein the remittance fails to be sent. With BDO, all transactions are successfully sent by the senders and received by the beneficiaries. This is one of the strengths BDO has.”
