An App that provides cross-border money transfer and remittance services
About
Peerbits has developed an app for our client in Philippines which is a pioneer in the Overseas Filipino Workers’ remittance industry in Hong Kong and Macau. This app facilitates easy transfer of money across the borders. It offers vast range of money transfer services such as door to door delivery, bank transfer, and pick-up services.
Our client also has collaborations with various stores across Hong Kong which increases their reach. This makes the worker’s job easy as they no longer have to wait in the long queues. Moreover, the stores can fill the wallet balance of the workers. The app is bilingual, i.e., it is available in English as well as in Tagalog language.
Challenges
The major challenge that all the Filipino workers in Hong Kong and Macau faced was of money transfer to their friends and family in Philippines. Earlier the whole process was offline. They had to visit to the nearest stores to submit their amount. This amount took several days to reach their beneficiary in the Philippines.
Solution
With our mobile application in place, all the process became online. Now, any user can send remittances quickly and easily. The user can opt for different services like pickup, bank, and door to door services. In the door to door services the employee will go to your beneficiaries’ address to complete the transfer of money.
Moreover, with the mobile app in place, the customer can view and manage their beneficiaries. They can also have a look at the history of all transactions. The best part is that the customers have to no longer be a part of never-ending queues.

They did the job in the end. There were many bugs in the platform at many stages. They fixed everything without complaint, but it took a lot of my time to test the platform.
