For BDO, the relationship is built on more than just digital convenience.

Remitly offers flexible sending options tailored to Filipinos’ needs, including Express and Economy transfers, depending on budget and urgency. It also provides competitive foreign exchange rates and low transaction fees—key considerations for hardworking Filipinos sending money home.
“Both BDO and Remitly show empathy for our customers. There is that connection and it’s extremely important,” Nigro added.
The partnership ensures that wherever Overseas Filipinos may be, their remittances are handled with care, reliability, and the support they deserve—anytime, anywhere. —Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
