PERA HUB, one of the country’s consumer financial services providers, said Friday it launched a more enhanced and inclusive mobile app with a virtual card feature for fast and easy remittance and e-commerce transactions.
“It has always been our priority to deliver innovative solutions for our customers. With the enhanced mobile app and the new PERA HUB Virtual Card feature, we want to create a digital experience that is inclusive for all so they always have access to convenient remittance and other financial services across different channels,” said PERA HUB president and chief executive Ian Ocampo.
PERA HUB is one of the longest Western Union remittance partners in the Philippines. It has expanded the availability and accessibility of its products and services through its counters and digital channels to promote financial inclusion.
“There are Virtual Cards available in the market, but a challenger will always find a place, especially when it offers more relevant and customized solutions to address the remittance and other cash-related needs of the community it serves,” said PERA HUB assistant vice president for mobile app Mennie So.
“As we relaunch the improved PERA HUB Mobile App, we give customers access to a more convenient and free onboarding experience for their accounts without having to visit the branch, so they can do their transactions in the comfort of their homes anytime or anywhere,” she said.
PERA HUB aims to provide a broader range of channels and options for Filipinos to do their transactions anytime and anywhere.
The PERA HUB Virtual Card serves as the main highlight of the new and improved mobile app. It has features such as sending or receiving Western Union domestic and international remittances; interbank transfers to over 50 banks and e-wallets; bills payments with over 250 billers; free PERA HUB to PERA HUB fund transfer; cash-in via ECPay at over 15,000 partner locations nationwide; cash-out at any of the 186 PERA HUB branches without additional charges; e-load and game credits; and affordable microinsurance.
The enhanced app has a user-friendly interface where users can personalize home dashboard and feature the services they always use and are interested in.
It allows users to perform fast and easy PERA HUB to PERA HUB fund transfers by scanning their recipient’s unique PERA HUB Account QR code, saving contacts and scheduling transfers for remittance and interbank transfers.
The virtual card, powered by Visa, may also be used for Lazada, Shopee, Amazon and other local and international online shopping platforms.
