Globe GCASH and Xoom Team Up for a Special Offer for Filipino Beneficiaries

Tell your loved ones in the U.S. to send money via Xoom and get P1,000 cash bonus

Globe GCASH together with Xoom Corporation, a digital money transfer provider, has announced a partnership that offers Php 1,000 remittance bonus to money transfer recipients in the Philippines when their family or friends in the United States send their first money transfer via xoom.com/gcash.

From June 3 until July 31, 2013, first time Xoom senders can visit www.xoom.com/gcash to make their first money transfer.  Senders will be asked to provide the name and cell phone number of their recipient in the Philippines.  Within 10 business days, recipients can expect an SMS notification with a corresponding reference number from Globe GCASH REMIT, informing them that the P1,000 bonus may now be claimed at any of GCASH’s 7,000 locations.  They will then present the reference number and a valid I.D. at their preferred GCASH outlet to conveniently claim their P1,000 bonus.

“GCASH is a well-known and trusted brand in the Filipino community.  We are excited to partner with GCASH and to offer recipients in the Philippines this great bonus,” said Julian King, Xoom’s Senior Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Development. “With this incentive, Filipinos and their loved ones can discover how convenient, safe and fast it is to send money home with Xoom.”

“We are committed to provide customers an unbelievable experience when getting their remittances. The P1,000 bonus is just one example and more great offers to come,” said Paolo Baltao, president of G-Xchange, Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Globe and operator of GCASH REMIT and GCASH. “This promo is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our modern day heroes who work hard to improve the lives of their families whom they choose to leave behind.”

Their families in the Philippines can get their P1,000 bonus from any of the 7,000 GCASH outlets in the Philippines. Thus, even those living in far-flung areas can already get their money from accredited GCASH REMIT outlets which include rural banks, pawnshops, and Globe load distributors, among others.
