New collaboration aims to facilitate faster and more secure money transfers for OFWs using blockchain technology.
Coins.ph, a prominent financial services platform in the Philippines, together with Remitly, an international remittance provider, have launched a new remittance service utilizing stablecoin technology targeting Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) based in the United States and Canada. The service is designed to enable faster, more cost-efficient, and secure money transfers through blockchain, addressing common challenges such as high fees and slow transaction times faced by OFWs when sending money back home. Official statements from Coins.ph emphasize that the platform complies with all regulatory standards and prioritizes the safety and security of its users’ funds. Meanwhile, the integration of stablecoins aims to reduce exchange rate volatility, ensuring that recipients in the Philippines receive a consistent value in Philippine pesos. This initiative contributes to improving the financial well-being of Filipino migrant workers and their families, who rely heavily on remittances as a primary source of income. The partnership highlights ongoing efforts to innovate remittance services through digital assets, reflecting broader trends in fintech aimed at supporting international labor migration and economic development.
