SendWave has built a solid footprint in key remittance hubs, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, and Germany.

Paul Albano, GCash International General Manager, emphasized the importance of the partnership:

> “This collaboration enables OFWs to send fast, secure, and hassle-free remittances to their families in the Philippines. More than transferring money, we’re building a complete financial ecosystem that adapts to the needs of Filipinos wherever they are in the world.”



As financial technology continues to transform cross-border money management, GCash and SendWave remain at the forefront, ensuring that every Filipino—no matter the distance—has access to reliable and modern financial solutions.
