Smart Money expands network
Smart Money has expanded its global network now having more than 95,000 international money transfer locations where they can send cash directly to mobile phones in the Philippines.
These include participating locations of The Western Union Company and MoneyGram International in the United States and in Hong Kong.
To send cash directly to their beneficiaries in the Philippines, Filipinos abroad simply have to visit any participating international money transfer location and indicate the Smart mobile phone number in the Philippines where the remittance will be credited to. Remittance will be credited to the Smart Money account that is linked to the beneficiary’s Smart mobile phone.
Funds from the successful cash remittance may be used to perform mobile money transfers, to pay bills, to purchase goods and services from partner MasterCard establishments around the world and on the worldwide web, to do over-the-counter transactions at Smart Wireless Centers and Smart Money encashment centers, and to withdraw from over 9,000 automated teller machines all over the Philippines. All these transactions are made possible by the award-winning Smart Money platform – the world’s first cash payment card linked to a mobile phone.
”This expansion of the Smart Money network is a strong manifestation of our commitment to better serve the needs of overseas Filipinos and their beneficiaries in the Philippines,” said Orlando B. Vea, chief wireless advisor for Smart.*
