Now You Can Send Money Abroad with PalawanPay and Palawan Express Pera Padala — Affordable, Fast, and Hassle-Free

 PalawanPay Becomes One of the First E-Wallets in the Philippines to Offer Outbound International Remittance

For many Filipinos, sending money is more than just a transaction; it’s a lifeline. It supports loved ones, fulfills responsibilities, and keeps connections strong across borders. Whether for tuition, medical expenses, business needs, or daily living costs, the need for dependable international remittance continues to grow. While receiving money from abroad is a common practice, sending money from the Philippines to other countries has long been a challenge. High fees, complex requirements, and limited access often get in the way, whether for a small business owner paying an overseas supplier, a family helping an OFW cover urgent expenses, or a student abroad relying on support from home.

Recognizing these everyday hurdles, the Palawan Group of Companies (PGC), the trusted name behind fast-growing e-wallet PalawanPay and the multi-awarded Palawan Express Pera Padala (PEPP), introduces Pera Padala Abroad. This new service marks a milestone: PalawanPay is now one of the first e-wallets in the Philippines to offer outbound international remittance, allowing users to send money overseas anytime, anywhere, straight from their phones. No long lines. No complicated forms. Just a few taps to support loved ones, wherever they may be in the world.

Send Money Abroad—Anytime, Anywhere

Pera Padala Abroad makes sending money abroad as easy as sending it locally. Through the PalawanPay app, users can send funds overseas directly from their mobile phones. For those who prefer face-to-face transactions, the service is also available at over 3,500 authorized PEPP branches nationwide, ensuring accessibility whether you're in the city or a province.

With PalawanPay, there’s no need for lengthy paperwork or banking steps. All you need is a verified PalawanPay account, and you’re ready to send. And true to Palawan’s brand promise, it’s “mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos balungos” (affordable, fast, and hassle-free), the same quality of service PGC has proudly delivered for 40 years.

Whether you’re sending to a bank account, an e-wallet, or opting for cash pick-up, Pera Padala Abroad has you covered, with rates starting at just ₱300.
