TinBo ePadala Accelerates Digital Cash-in for Filipinos in Singapore and UAE

Overseas Filipinos in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates now have a faster and more convenient way to send financial support to their families in the Philippines, as PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global) has expanded Tindahan ni Bossing’s (TinBo) digital services with the launch of ePadala. The service directly addresses the needs of OFWs who juggle long working hours and busy schedules, enabling them to send cash-in vouchers home with just a few taps.

Through TinBo’s ePadala, Filipinos abroad can send digital cash‑in vouchers directly to their loved ones’ bank or e‑wallet accounts at an affordable transaction fee—available 24/7 via the TinBo app or website. This convenient service removes the need to leave work or home and line up for over‑the‑counter transactions, giving OFWs a faster, hassle‑free way to provide timely support.

The launch is particularly significant in Singapore and the UAE, two of the largest OFW communities in the world. These countries are home to Filipino professionals, skilled workers, and household service employees who regularly send financial support home for daily needs, tuition fees, healthcare, and emergencies. With digital adoption rising across these markets, ePadala offers a secure and accessible way to send funds anytime, anywhere.

ePadala vouchers can be redeemed through more than 20 major Philippine banks and e‑wallet platforms. This gives families in the Philippines immediate access to funds through the platforms they already use and trust.

“As we launch ePadala in Singapore and the UAE, we are strengthening our commitment to financial inclusion and digital empowerment for overseas Filipinos,” said Albert Villa‑Real, President and CEO of PLDT Global, the international unit of PLDT Inc. “This is especially important for Filipinos affected by the conflict in the UAE, because it allows them to transact securely online. TinBo’s ePadala service transforms cross‑border support into something more accessible and more maalaga. We want OFWs – our bossings -- to feel reassured knowing their families can receive support quickly and safely, no matter the distance.”

To start using ePadala, Filipinos in Singapore and the UAE can download the TinBo app from Google Play Store or the Apple App Store or register via the TinBo website. Once registered, users can immediately send digital cash-in vouchers using their preferred mode of payment.

This initiative is part of PLDT Global’s commitment to offer world‑class connectivity and innovative digital solutions to Filipinos and enterprises worldwide.
