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.

During the signing, Mr. Miyakawa shared his observations from learning about the lives of Filipinos living abroad. He noted that many Filipinos dedicate much of their earnings to supporting their families, often leaving little for their own savings and retirement. He emphasized the importance of creating opportunities for Filipinos to also invest in their own financial future.

Atty. Pimentel highlighted Pag-IBIG Fund’s commitment to helping Filipinos build financial security through savings and programs that 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.

For Digital Wallet Corporation, the partnership also marks an important step in its continued global expansion. Smiles Mobile Remittance recently launched in the United States, adding to its existing presence in Japan, Singapore and Canada. As Smiles grows its presence in new markets, the company aims to provide Filipino communities abroad with digital financial services that help them stay connected to home while working toward their financial goals.
