A Smart Way for Overseas Filipinos to Cut Transaction Fees
Every piso counts especially when it’s earned abroad. That’s why actor and global Pinoy icon Piolo Pascual is sharing his Alagang Kabayan money-saving tip for our hardworking Overseas Filipinos (OFWs). In his latest Facebook video, Piolo shows how combining BDO Kabayan Savings with the BDO Pay app can help OFWs cut down on transaction fees while sending money back home.
BDO Pay: One App for All Your Payments
BDO Pay makes everyday payments easy whether you’re scanning QR codes, sending money, or paying bills. You don’t even need to cash in! Simply link your BDO Kabayan Savings, other BDO bank accounts, or credit cards to get started.
Here’s the best part: when you receive a remittance through BDO Remit from abroad into your Kabayan Savings account, your next transfer to any BDO account via BDO Pay is absolutely free.
As Piolo says, “Free sa lahat ng BDO accounts, kabayan, kaya download and try mo na.”
Small Fees Add Up But They Don’t Have To
In his video, Piolo paints a familiar picture for many OFWs:
“P2,000 para kay Mama, P3,000 para kay Junior, P4,000 para kay Ate, tapos P5,000 kay Daddy.”
Each transfer may cost only ₱15, but when you send to several family members, those fees pile up fast. “Akala mo maliit, pero pag sunod-sunod, it adds up,” Piolo reminds his fellow kababayans.
He adds, “Kabayan, dahil bawat piso ay pinaghirapan mo, huwag sayangin sa pa-isa-isang fees.”
That’s why he encourages Overseas Pinoys to be smart savers and make the most out of every hard-earned peso.
How to Get Started with BDO Pay
It only takes a few steps to enjoy fee-free transfers between BDO accounts:
- Download the BDO Pay app from Google Play, App Store, or AppGallery.
- Sign up or log in using your BDO Online credentials.
- Link your BDO Kabayan Savings account and you’re good to go!
With these simple steps, OFWs can conveniently send support to their loved ones without worrying about extra charges.
Alagang Kabayan, Alagang Sulit
For Piolo Pascual, it’s all about being practical and caring: “Sulit ang bawat piso basta may BDO Kabayan Savings at BDO Pay ka at ang pamilya mo.”
BDO continues to champion the financial well-being of Overseas Filipinos through innovative solutions like BDO Pay, making it easier to manage funds from anywhere in the world.
So if you’re working abroad and want to stretch your remittances further, download BDO Pay and link your Kabayan Savings today. Because every peso saved is another peso for your family’s dreams.
