BigPay, a Capital A venture company, announced the launch of its Cash Pickup services in Indonesia and the Philippines, as an added feature to its existing remittance feature.
The Cash Pickup feature is available to all BigPay users in Malaysia and Singapore with over 14,000 pick-up locations across the Philippines and Indonesia.
BigPay said that it seeks to bridge the technology gap and help families gain access to their funds without the need for a bank account through this launch.
To send money via the BigPay app, senders simply need to select the amount to remit and the pickup location to send the funds securely.
The recipients in Indonesia and the Philippines can then head to the designated local pickup location within the specified timeframe, provide the unique PIN and a form of identification, and receive the cash.
In Indonesia, recipients can collect from any POS Indonesia location.
Cash Pickup is also available in the Philippines at any BDO Cash Pickup, M Lhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier, Palawan Pawnshop, LBC Express, SM Counters, BPI, Metrobank, and RD Cash Padala Pawnshop locations.
“At BigPay, we believe in a financially borderless world where everyone has equitable access to the products they need. As we expand our remittance pillar within BigPay, Cash Pickup services are a natural fit to further our mission.
Our users across the region can now send money in a few clicks to almost anywhere in the Philippines and across Indonesia – and this opens up the product to many more people,”
said Salim Dhanani, CEO and Co-founder of BigPay.
