Protect Your Remittance: Safe Padala for OFWs

With CIMB Bank PH, sending money to the Philippines is easy and hassle-free. Whether you're an OFW sending help to your loved ones, or you’re managing your own savings from abroad, security dapat lagi ang priority. 

 

Here are some essential safety tips to ensure your remittance transactions are not only fast, but also protected.

 

1. Use only trusted channels to send remittance to CIMB. 

 

There are two convenient and secure options for senders to send remittance directly to the CIMB Bank PH app account of their loved ones:

  • Direct bank transfers via trusted providers like Western Union, WorldRemit, Wise, and Revolut. 

  • Remittance service providers are available, including Ria with physical centers and Remitly as a digital-only option.

    (Remittance service providers such as Ria and Remitly.)

     

NOTE: Avoid sending money through unknown apps or unofficial channels.

 

2. Double-check recipient details. 

 

Before confirming any transaction, verify the recipient's full name, account number, and remittance method. A simple typographical error can delay the transfer or send your funds to the wrong person.

 

3. Monitor your transfers in real-time.

 

With CIMB’s real-time fund transfer services—like InstaPay and PESONet—you can track your transaction right on the app. Check your transaction history after sending to ensure everything went through smoothly.

 

4. Enable app notifications and alerts.

 

Turn on push notifications from the CIMB Bank PH app to get real-time updates on your account activity so you're always informed, wherever you are (alerts you to any unauthorized activity).

 

5. Set strong passwords and protect your OTP. 

 

Create a strong, unique password for your account and never share your One-Time Password (OTP) or login credentials with anyone. 

 

Make your padala stress-free! By staying cautious and using only trusted tools like the CIMB Bank PH app, you can send money confidently, wherever in the world you may be.
