Metrobank expands remittance network through PERA HUB
The onset of COVID-19 has affected the lives of many Filipinos around the world, especially those who are not able to be with their loved ones during this difficult time. Despite the limitations brought about by the global pandemic, Metrobank ensures customers that they can still support their loved ones financially and make meaningful connections regardless of physical distance.
To continously provide customers with meaningful approaches to help them save up and manage their finances wherever they may be, Metrobank taps PERA HUB to be one of its domestic remittance partners. Remittances from abroad or from anywhere in the country sent through Metrobank’s brand of remittance service, MetroRemit, can now be claimed at over 240 PERA HUB outlets nationwide.
“In this time of need, we want to provide our kababayans easy access to hard-earned remittances from their loved ones who are either working abroad or working far away from home. This partnership with PERA HUB allows us to further extend our network so our customers can have access to meaningful services that will help them manage their financial needs,” said Metrobank Executive Vice President and Retail Banking Sector Head Richard So.
Hailed as the “Remittance Product of the Year” by The Asian Banker Philippine Awards 2019, MetroRemit offers a wide array of remittance products and services through a large network of more than 11,000 remittance centers, partners, and tie-ups nationwide. Adding PERA HUB in this pool of cash pick-up partners ramps up MetroRemit’s extensive network and allows customers more access to its services nationwide.
PERA HUB, the retail brand of PETNET, is geared towards providing complementary products such as money changing, bills payment, airline ticketing, cell phone loads, micro-insurance and other cash and payment related solutions to its growing market.
