For many Filipino families, claiming a loved one’s padala is more than just a routine errand, it’s a moment of relief, gratitude, and support. Now, that simple act becomes even more rewarding. SMAC and BDO Remit have teamed up to give OFW families extra value by letting them earn SMAC points every time they claim a BDO Remit cash pickup at SM Store.
This new partnership turns everyday remittance transactions into shopping rewards, making each visit to SM even more sulit for Filipino households.
SMAC and BDO Remit Partner to Reward OFWs and Their Families
Formally sealed during a contract signing on November 11, 2025, at the BDO Corporate Center in Ortigas, Pasig, the collaboration between SMAC, the country’s leading loyalty program, and BDO Remit, BDO Unibank’s remittance service, highlights a shared mission: recognizing the sacrifices of Overseas Filipino Workers by creating tangible benefits for their families back home.
With this partnership, families no longer just receive financial support but they also earn points they can use for future shopping within the SM ecosystem.
How Claiming Padala at SM Store Now Earns You Points
Here’s the key benefit OFW families will appreciate:
Every time you claim a BDO Remit cash pickup at SM Store, you earn SMAC points instantly.
According to SM Retail – Digital Advantage Corporation COO John Patrick Cua, the goal is to make every transaction feel rewarding. He emphasized that SMAC is more than a loyalty card, it’s a way to recognize the everyday hard work of Filipinos and their families.
SM Retail, Inc. VP Treasury Jeffrey Ang also shared that the partnership reflects a shared vision among all parties, while BDO SVP and Remittance Head Genie T. Gloria noted that improvements to BDO Remit’s cash pickup system are already in the pipeline to better serve more remitters in the future.
