Digital Wallet Corporation and Pag-IBIG Fund Partner to Support Filipinos’ Financial Futures

TOKYO, Japan — September 8, 2026 — Digital Wallet Corporation, the company behind Smiles Mobile Remittance, has entered into an agreement with Pag-IBIG Fund (Home Development Mutual Fund) to create greater financial opportunities for Filipinos from all over the world.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting hard-working Filipinos around the world and helping them build a more secure future for themselves and their families. Digital Wallet Corporation is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside Pag-IBIG Fund and looks forward to combining their strengths to create greater financial opportunities for Filipinos living and working abroad.

The agreement was signed by Mr. Eiji Miyakawa, Founder and CEO of Digital Wallet Corporation, and Atty. Marcial C. Pimentel Jr., Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Pag-IBIG Fund.

During the signing, both leaders shared their vision for helping Filipinos build a more secure financial future.

Mr. Miyakawa spoke about his experiences learning about the lives of Filipinos living and working abroad. He highlighted how many Filipinos dedicate much of their earnings to supporting their families, often putting their own savings and future plans aside. As a result, some reach retirement without enough savings for themselves.

He emphasized the importance of helping Filipinos not only support their loved ones today, but also save and prepare for their own future.

Atty. Pimentel also shared Pag-IBIG Fund’s commitment to helping Filipinos build financial security through savings and other programs designed to support their long-term goals.

Pag-IBIG Fund offers programs designed to help members build savings and achieve long-term financial goals. These include Pag-IBIG Regular Savings, Modified Pag-IBIG II (MP2) Savings and affordable housing loans.

Through the partnership, Digital Wallet Corporation and Pag-IBIG Fund aim to bring greater awareness and access to these opportunities for Filipinos living and working abroad.

The agreement brings together Pag-IBIG Fund’s mission to promote savings and financial security and Digital Wallet Corporation’s expertise in digital financial services, with a shared goal of supporting Filipinos both at home and abroad.

Representatives attending the signing included Ms. Maria Solidad C. Liboro, Corporate Executive Officer III, and Atty. Eduardo L. Labo Jr., Acting Department Manager III, from Pag-IBIG Fund, and Mr. Efren Dancel, Head of Business Development, and Ms. Macrine Comendador, General Manager for Business Development, from Digital Wallet Corporation.
