For many Filipinos, sending money is more than a transaction; it is a lifeline. It helps loved ones, fulfills obligations, and maintains strong connections across borders. Whether for tuition, medical expenditures, business demands, or daily living expenses, the demand for dependable foreign remittances grows. While receiving money from abroad is common, transferring money from the Philippines to other countries has historically been difficult. High prices, difficult restrictions, and limited access frequently get in the way, whether it's a small company owner paying an international supplier, a family assisting an OFW with urgent expenses, or a student abroad who needs support from home.
Recognizing these everyday challenges, the Palawan Group of Companies (PGC), the trusted name behind the fast-growing e-wallet PalawanPay and the multi-awarded Palawan Express Pera Padala (PEPP), has launched Pera Padala Abroad. This new service marks a watershed moment: PalawanPay is now one of the first e-wallets in the Philippines to provide outbound international remittance, allowing customers to send money overseas at any time and from any location using their phones. No long lines. No complex forms. Just a few clicks to help loved ones, no matter where they are in the world.
Send Money Abroad—Anytime, Anywhere
Pera Padala Abroad enables sending money abroad as simple as sending it domestically. Users of the PalawanPay app can send funds overseas immediately from their mobile phones. For those who prefer in-person transactions, the service is also available at over 3,500 approved PEPP branches around the country, making it accessible whether you're in a city or a province.
PalawanPay eliminates the need for extensive paperwork and banking formalities. You only need a validated PalawanPay account to send. And, true to Palawan's brand promise, it's "mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos balungos" (cheap, fast, and hassle-free), the same level of service that PGC has proudly provided for 40 years.
Send to Over 190 Countries with Affordable Rates Starting at Just ₱300
Pera Padala Abroad offers prices starting at ₱300 for sending to bank accounts, e-wallets, and cash pick-up. With competitive conversion rates, your recipient receives more value. Funds sent in pesos can be changed to the destination country's local currency or held in the recipient's preferred currency, providing flexibility and convenience.
Transactions are processed in real-time. When you obtain your reference number, the money are transferred promptly, giving both the sender and the recipient piece of mind. This seamless international service is backed by Ria, a reputable global remittance network with over 190 countries and over 500,000 pick-up locations globally.
