Metrobank offers fast, easy remittance service

MANILA, Philippines — Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. (Metrobank) has responded to the pressing need for a faster and more convenient remittance process with the launch of a real-time cash pickup service for clients.

Called Cash Pick-Up, the digital domestic remittance service allows clients to send funds in real-time through their Metrobank Mobile app to beneficiaries without bank accounts, who can then use a single reference number to claim funds through any of the over 10,200 nationwide outlets of remittance partners, Cebuana Lhuillier, M.Lhuillier, Villarica, RD Pawnshop, Palawan Pawnshop and LBC.

The process is easy. Just log in to the Metrobank Mobile app, press the menu button and tap “CASH PICK-UP.” Fill in the necessary details, choose the source account for the transaction, and enter the amount for cash pick-up. The app will ask the user to review all information input to confirm, and then will send a one-time password (OTP) to the user’s mobile phone via SMS. Once the OTP is  keyed, the user and the beneficiary will receive a notification via email and SMS to confirm the status of the transaction.

Send up to P30,000 a day per source account, with a service fee of P100 per transaction, and the beneficiary will receive an SMS and email notification allowing them to pick up the cash in any branch of remittance partners, except for Palawan Pawnshop which allows a maximum pay out of P10,000 per day. They need only to present their single reference number and one primary government-issued ID for claiming the remittance.

The funds will be available for claiming in almost real time, and is convenient for both sender and recipient. For more information, visit https://metrobank.com.ph/mobile-cash-pick-up.
