A rewards programs that connects people

Sending money internationally to support friends and family is an act of love. When those remittances earn valuable points to spend on new purchases, the transfer becomes its own reward.

For the Filipino diaspora, the tradition of putting together and sending special care packages, called balikbayan boxes, at holidays or any time of year, helps people feel closer to parents, children, and siblings. The partnership between OTT Remit and LBC now makes it easier and cost-effective to send gifts of love when senders feel the need to connect and when relatives need them most.

“We couldn’t imagine a better and more fitting rewards partner than LBC,” says RaymundAbog, Business Unit Head of OTT Remit.  “Our companies are both committed to making it faster and more convenient to bridge relationships – whether through international money transfers or care packages. We look forward to introducing OTT Remit to the Filipino community and helping them maintain those essential ties to home.”

“We’re excited to launch this new rewards partnership with OTT Remit,” says Rafael Policarpio, Country Head of LBC Canada. “We love helping people maintain quick and reliable connections with their families abroad. OTT and LBC working together is going to support that objective even more.”
