Many Filipinos, young and old alike, are enjoying online shopping. However, the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) seem to be literally left out of the trend considering that they don't have credit cards to shop and pay for their purchases online. Luckily for them, there is a mobile app for migrant workers abroad and overseas Filipinos who want to shop for their loved ones and even pay bills back home, and its name is PayRemit.
Through the payment gateway of the premiere online shopping and e-Commerce app for overseas Filipinos, migrant workers can now shop online and pay with their remittances. In 2018, PayRemit extended its services and launched a Facebook shopping site for appliances and gadgets that OFWs could send to their relatives back home. It continued to listen to the market and made it possible for OFWs to pay in installment starting 2019. Today, the PayRemit app is a well-stocked, curated marketplace that can deliver items to OFWs across Luzon and select areas in Visayas and Mindanao. Filipinos in the Middle East, Europe and Asia can enjoy the same benefits as credit cards when shopping on the PayRemit app.
PayRemit goes above and beyond by allowing OFWs to use concierge services to make purchases. Customers may message PayRemit on Facebook and receive assistance throughout the process. The platform has also tapped fellow OFWs as sales representatives as well as happy PayRemit clients who are willing to assist their kababayans with their shopping. Aside from its own personal touch, what truly distinguishes PayRemit that online shopping and e-Commerce apps can't provide is its capacity to receive cash payments from OFWs. Local vendors such as Abenson, Royal Star Appliances and K Servico are used for fulfllment since they can deliver products at a lower cost.
True to its purpose of empowering the lives of Filipino migrant workers and their families, PayRemit is committed to launch more new unique and innovative products and services in the foreseeable future that can surely cater to the shopping needs of overseas Filipinos.
