The Palawan Pera Padala Abroad service now allows Filipinos to securely send money overseas through the PalawanPay app or any of the more than 3,500 Palawan Express Pera Padala (PEPP) branches nationwide. In partnership with RIA Money Transfer, Palawan offers a fast, affordable, and reliable way to financially support loved ones, business partners, and students living abroad.
Supporting Filipinos in a Connected Global Economy
Millions of Filipinos now fund education, pay international suppliers, transact with global clients, or assist family members overseas. As outbound remittances grow, Palawan continues to expand its services to meet evolving financial needs.
Karlo M. Castro, President and CEO of the Palawan Group of Companies, shared,
“Pera Padala has become a sizable business built on trust, accessibility, and our promise of mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos-balungos na serbisyo. Supporting outbound remittances is a natural extension of that mission.”
With remittances contributing nearly 7% of the Philippines’ GDP, seamless international money transfers are essential. Through Pera Padala Abroad, Filipinos can now send funds to over 200 countries with ease.
Simple, Fast, and Budget-Friendly Transfers
Lilian C. Selda, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of the Palawan Group, emphasized affordability and convenience.
“Customers can send money with no long lines or complicated forms. Just visit a branch or use PalawanPay anytime.”
Customers can send to:
- Bank accounts
- E-wallets
- Cash pick-up centers worldwide
Transfers start at ₱300, and exchange rates remain competitive to maximize value. Funds can be converted to the destination currency or kept in the recipient’s preferred currency. Transactions process in real time, and funds are released instantly once the reference number is issued.
Powered by RIA’s global network of 500,000+ pick-up locations, the service reaches even hard-to-access communities around the world.
Strengthening Global Connectivity Through Partnership
Espen Kristensen, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at RIA, highlighted the partnership’s strength.
“RIA’s extensive global network ensures reliable service, strong compliance, and fast delivery—even in remote areas.”
This collaboration gives customers confidence that their remittances reach their intended recipients on time and securely.
