Internet Cafes as Remittance Agents?

The internet cafes or computer rental shops around the communities can be seen as remittance agents where beneficiaries may receive remittances from anywhere around the world or send money remittances. Internet cafes provide meaningful services to families who are separated across long distances, through the use of internet-connected computers and devices. Text message exchanges through chat service or video and voice calls from the inside internet cafe's are among the cheaper alternatives of families in the Philippines to stay connected abroad. Next time you or any of your loved ones visit an internet cafe in Philippines, you may want to see if they provide remittance services, which may turn out to be your next remittance partner.

About this Site

This site aims to provide you with everything you need to know to send money to the Philippines. With about 10 million Pinoys living overseas, mostly to work, remittances to the Philippines remain to be the economy's main source of foreign fund. The World Bank estimated 17B USD in remittances by end of 2009, next only to India and China as the world's top recipient countries of remittances. I hope this site can provide a comprehensive guide and all the possible options for Filipinos living abroad and Foreigners living in the Philippines to provide for their families and loved ones in the most economical and convenient way.
