Filipinos in Japan continue to enjoy seamless and secure remittance services, thanks to the powerful partnership between BDO Unibank, Inc. and Japan’s Seven Bank. Arianne Matucading and Den Mojica, two overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) based in Japan, have experienced firsthand the convenience and security of transferring money back home, making their financial support for their families smooth and worry-free.
Matucading, a sales executive who has been working in Japan for 11 years, praised the collaboration for simplifying money transfers. “Sending money to my family is stress-free, thanks to the reliable services of BDO and Seven Bank. When I needed to urgently send funds for a hospital bill, Seven Bank’s fast service allowed me to send money immediately, and BDO made sure my family could easily withdraw it. Whether it’s an emergency or regular support, I trust their dependable partnership,” she said.
Mojica, a customer service officer in Japan, also commended the seamless process. “The Seven Bank app is reliable and easy to use, and the staff is always accommodating. Some of my relatives, who have limited access to ATMs, can receive my remittances effortlessly through BDO’s cash payout services,” she shared.
Speed and Convenience at Their Fingertips
Transferring money from Japan to the Philippines is now easier than ever, thanks to Seven Bank’s International Money Transfer app. Filipinos working in Japan can send money 24/7 with just a few taps on their smartphones, even on their tight work schedules.
“Filipino workers in Japan often struggle to visit banks and remittance centers during business hours due to their work commitments,” said Genie T. Gloria, BDO’s Senior Vice President and Head of Remittance. “Our partnership with Seven Bank offers a solution—24/7 remittance services through their mobile app and an extensive network of 27,000 ATMs across Japan.”
Seven Bank President Masaaki Matsuhashi echoed this sentiment, praising BDO’s reliability in ensuring successful transactions. “In the remittance business, there are sometimes issues with failed transactions. However, with BDO, all transfers are guaranteed to go through. This is one of the strengths of our partnership,” Matsuhashi said.
Through their strong collaboration, BDO and Seven Bank are offering Filipinos in Japan a fast, reliable, and convenient way to send money home, ensuring peace of mind for both the senders and their loved ones.
