For overseas Filipinos, remittances are more than transactions—they’re lifelines for families back home. Through a long-standing partnership built on trust, Remitly and BDO Unibank, Inc. (BDO) continue to provide secure, reliable, and real-time money transfer services that support the daily needs of millions of Filipino households.
Remitly, a leading U.S.-based digital remittance provider, has chosen BDO as one of its strongest partners in the Philippines, citing the bank’s 24/7 customer support, extensive branch and ATM network, and commitment to service quality.
“BDO is the best and largest bank in the Philippines. Their service is excellent and they know the industry inside out,” said Gene Nigro, Remitly’s business development lead for the Philippines, Vietnam, and Latin America. “Overseas Filipinos trust BDO to ensure the money they send home is going to be safe.”
This trust is rooted in a partnership that began in 2011, when Remitly launched its digital-first service with the Philippines as its first market. Since then, the collaboration has supported Remitly’s expansion to over 170 countries and more than 5,100 corridors worldwide.
Through this alliance, beneficiaries in the Philippines enjoy instant transfers to BDO accounts via Remitly, access to 24/7 customer service hotlines, and options for both in-person and digital assistance. BDO senior vice president and head of remittance Genie T. Gloria emphasized the shared commitment: “It is about providing Overseas Filipinos with a secure service and empathetic support. BDO and Remitly deliver exceptional service that truly cares for our Kabayans.”
Remitly’s platform offers customers flexible sending options—such as Express and Economy services—alongside competitive foreign exchange rates and low fees. These features ensure remittances remain accessible and cost-effective.
