Pleased to have unveiled the first set of our coin deposit machines at @SMSupermalls Mall of Asia and @RobinsonsMalls Ermita. By depositing idle coins into these machines, depositors can receive the corresponding value in their e-wallet or store vouchers that are as good as cash.

Lastly, we are collaborating with @DMWPHL and BDO Foundation on expanding the “Pinansyal na Talino at Kaalaman” (PiTaKa) program. PiTaKa aims to teach OFWs and their families how to save, manage their savings, and other practices to achieve financial stability. 4/5
