Filipinos now have a simpler, faster, and more affordable way to send money overseas as the Palawan Group of Companies launches Pera Padala Abroad, a major expansion to its trusted remittance services.
Through a partnership with global money transfer leader RIA Money Transfer, Palawan now connects Filipinos to over 200 countries, whether they’re supporting loved ones, paying for schooling, working with international clients, or settling business transactions abroad.
During the launch, RIA executives Steve Peregrino and Espen Kristensen joined Palawan leaders Lilian C. Selda and Karlo M. Castro in highlighting how the strengthened partnership brings world-class remittance access to everyday Filipinos.
A Major Step Toward Global Financial Connectivity
Palawan Group President and CEO Karlo M. Castro emphasized how outbound remittances align with the company’s long-standing mission.
“For us at the Palawan Group, our contribution to the remittance industry is deeply embedded in our mission to serve everyday Filipinos,” he shared. “Pera Padala has grown into a truly sizable business built on trust, accessibility, and our promise to deliver mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos-balungos na serbisyo.”
As more Filipinos support family members abroad, work with global clients, or transact with international businesses, the demand for reliable outbound money transfers continues to climb.
