Title: New money transmitting service to Phillipines.launched in last 8 days. Post by: qwerty555 on July 03, 2014, 05:01:19 PM https://sendmoney.coins.ph/
Alternative (estimated) cost comparisons welcome ( eg factoring in spread and fiat exchange rates :) ) but it certainly looks competitive. Current total remittances to Philippines is in the region of $24 billion a year so to capture 1% of that market in its first year would give them 3% of $24 million from their spread ...nice if they can reach that. Internal remittances ( city to city) are probably in the same region but a lot of promotion/education would be needed in both instances, particularly for internal remittance as many/most are blue collar or laborers on minimum wage which is about $10/day average and are not tech savvy Title: Re: New money transmitting service to Phillipines.launched in last 8 days.
