When Filipinos talk about Christmas, they immediately think about their families and how much they want to show their love to them during this occasion. This is the enduring sentiment especially for many Filipino households whose breadwinner is working in another city or country just to support the family.
No matter where they are, what they do or from whatever walks of life they come from, Filipinos will always go out of their way to show love come Christmas time. Now with the enhanced Smart Padala service called PickUp Anywhere, Filipinos will find it easier and more convenient to send their love and continued support to their families.
Smart Padala PickUp Anywhere allows the easiest, safest, and most convenient way to send and receive money to and within the Philippines, regardless of their mobile network. It is secure, safe, and guaranteed to be claimed only by the nominated mobile number
According to Lawrence Ferrer, VicePresident of Smart eMoney, Smart Padala PickUp Anywhere makes it more convenient for customers to send remittances during the holiday rush.
Filipinos primarily send money to their families for basic needs. According to the National Baseline Survey on Financial Inclusion released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) this year, 44% of Filipino adults had remittance transactions in the past six months and for those on the sending side, 91% sent to their families while 6% sent to their friends.
