Link Asia Manpower Solutions Utilizes STERNA App

The Philippines has an estimated 13.7 Billion increase in dollars remittances this 2019. A huge chunk of that is from outside the country, what we call OFW’s or Overseas Filipino Workers. This accounts for a percentage of the country’s GDP and is the reason why we are not that affected much when other markets are volatile. Link Asia Manpower Solutions has been sending skilled workers for years and with the advent of the industry becoming digital, they’ve partnered with STERNA.This goes with other companies who are now connected with the app too 

For those who don’t know, STERNA has been utilized in different countries like Mexico, Columbia, Tunisia, Morocco, Canada and now the Philippines. The app makes it easy to process recruitment documents, so you would be able to connect with people, with just a few clicks. The app makes your professional profile visible to companies that need to fill positions in different capacities, even process papers required for legal procedures as accorded by your preferred destination, as you can also include where and where not to work. It is also very easy to navigate as it doesn’t have a very complicated interface. This was created by Bruno Padis. 

Eric Corpuz the President of Link Asia Manpower Solutions says “This is an app that would be able to connect employees and employers, in a very personal and direct way. This would eliminate the chance of getting victimized by illegal recruiters, which makes it safe for our new OFW’s/heroes. If you want to know more, you may call them via 816-3258. Or simply download the Sterna app on the App Store or Google Play. 

It’s all there! 

REMITLY Expands to More Countries

It’s 98 days before Christmas and of course Filipinos around the world are thinking of their families in the Philippines. With the way things are, they of course would want you to make this another year to remember and get that festive spirit and dinner taken cared of. I remember the time my Ninang sent me 20 dollars each Christmas and how happy I was to get my toys and stuff, but sometimes it gets stolen in transit for one or more reasons. 

These days we’re more than happy to use remittance services that are affordable, easy to understand and super safe. Honestly there’s no better opportunity to send money home than now where the exchange rate is very high. I’ve met some of the executives of REMITLY (an online money transfer company) as they start partnering with a local tech brand as they expand their services in the country. 

Matt Oppenheimer “I started Remitly to disrupt the 500 Billion remittance industry. With mobile growth we now have something scalable, we believe that we put the customer first to transform hundreds and millions of lives, serve and deliver on their promises. We’re just getting started.”

In 2011 they launched in the Philippines with a service US to the Philippines only. They didn’t launch in other countries until they mastered the service. They acquired Talio and got a tracking system in place to send text messages, emails so you know where your money is anytime of the day. They also got scholarship grants for 500 students, got their feedback, improved the system even further. Now they have other 11 European countries, Canada, Australia and even cruise ships. They also donated money for disaster relief and saved 900 Million dollars in transfer fees because it was easier for them to pass on the company earnings to customers easing their ability to send money home. 

They are doing Geographic expansion, Product Expansion, even established a Manila Office with 400 employees (and is still growing). For those who don’t know Kuya Kim Atienza is their endorser, in his words “Being the face of Remitly is like giving back, I am here in the Philippines and spend enough time with my family but tons of Filipinos are abroad working, living alone, it’s not easy. This is how countless Filipinos do it. Initially I didn’t know what it is all about, I realised what good this is doing with Filipinos, thank you Remitly.” He even said the weather during the event! Hahaha!

Transactions according to them is 100% safe and their promise is to get you that money online in 5 seconds or less. They offer a very competitive rate for senders, no add on fees. There are tons of Filipinos around the world and this will be a good venue to send money from abroad. You should give this a try because their first transaction is completely FREE. Would you believe that?

Send money to me too if you’re not busy! LOL

TrueMoney Centers Has Got 1 Million Served!

This would have been an impossible feat for some but not for the TrueMoney Centers in the Philippines. You see in less than a year, they have just had their 1 Millionth customer.. something they've truly been proud of and treat as a milestone. We're a country run partly by overseas Filipino workers (yes and clearly part of the GDP growth) and sending money home is just something essential to us. It's culture to care for family left in the Philippines and more so during the Christmas season. It's a season everyone has been waiting for and with services like these popping up left and right, people are trying to save a buck whenever they can. It's not cheap to actually send money to the Philippines, even inside the country itself, so in a way True Money is revolutionizing sending money as they introduce a cheaper but efficient alternative.

As for trust, TrueMoney Philippines is a brand under Fintech which is part of Ascend Money under C.P. Group of Thailand and Ant Financial (of Alibaba Group). They initially only had a couple of pilot partners in the past but now has grew up to 5,000 TrueMoney Centers in less than a year. They have now been able to become one of the largest payment and remittance networks in the country. The goal is to have innovative and affordable financial services to areas in the country that don't have banking or money transfer services. To go to underserved parts and become essential to commerce according to their CEO Xavier Marzan.

Now they've got payment and e-commerce centers in different provinces like North, South and Central Luzon, far flung areas in Mindanao but considers these areas as their starting points. They are still growing and steadily looking for partner centers. Imagine, they've got the lowest rates for domestic remittances which goes to about 2% compared to other existing competitors that have 3-10% which is unreal. They sometimes even charge the recipient which is not a good thing. Like if you send through them now Php 1,000, they would only charge Php 20 for that. Isn't that good news?
