The partnership aims to empower overseas Filipinos by offering relevant financial services to effectively manage their funds, safeguard their assets, and achieve financial stability through OFBank.

One-stop online marketplace
“We are elated that our existing and prospective clients will be able to own SVNs and use the same for OTPs, without the intervention of consolidators and even perhaps, regulatory controls in their host countries,” said Atty. Reo Andarino, OIC, OFBank.
Villa-Real underscored the importance of equipping overseas Filipino workers with knowledge and tools to ensure the prudent management of their hard-earned money, benefiting both themselves and their families in the long run.
Powered by PLDT Global, TINBO serves as a one-stop online marketplace, enabling overseas Filipinos to conduct various transactions such as buying load, paying bills, sending food vouchers, e-gifts, healthcare PINs from mWell, and gaming PINs for their families in the Philippines. TINBO provides access to a secure online bill payment platform for Philippine utilities and other digital services while abroad.
