Strengthening OFW ties with exclusive deals from PLDT Global’s TINBO

Aligned with the Philippine government’s goal to uplift the lives of overseas Filipinos and their families back home, PLDT Global Corporation (PLDT Global), through its platform TINBO (Tindahan ni Bossing) is launching a series of promos for existing and new users. This promo is available to TINBO users abroad.

Overseas Filipino workers will be entitled to a reduced transaction fee on TINBO’s bills payment service -- a 50% price cut on the transaction fee will be enjoyed by OFWs when they pay abroad their family’s electricity, water, and internet bills in the Philippines via the TINBO portal.

“For Filipinos overseas, every peso counts. We understand their plight and we hope that through the products and services under TINBO, we can help them manage their finances better. We are also working very closely with the Department of Migrant Workers in bringing digital services closer to our fellow Filipinos abroad, and TINBO is one platform that allows us to reach them and uplift their lives,” said Albert V. Villa-Real, President and CEO at PLDT Global.

TINBO is the one-stop gateway for digital services powered by PLDT Online Inc. (PLDT Online)—a wholly owned subsidiary of PLDT Global, the international sales and marketing arm of the Philippines’ leading telco network PLDT Inc.

With TINBO, Filipinos overseas can buy load, data packages, and even gaming PINs for their families in the Philippines. They can also subscribe to a Smart Virtual Number via TINBO and conveniently pay abroad their Philippine utilities and government billers, access digital banking needs via Maya, and enjoy other digital services while outside the Philippines.

Filipinos abroad can also purchase and send Magic Data+ 149 to their family and loved ones in the Philippines through TINBO and the recipient gets free All Out Surf P20 on top of their package. The Magic Data+ 149 comes with 2GB data for all sites and apps plus 50-minute calls and 50 SMS to all networks with no expiry. The All Out Surf comes with 150MB data plus 100MB per day for Facebook, unlimited texts to all networks, and 20 minutes of calls to Smart and TNT.

“Connectivity – whether through voice, SMS, or data – is very important especially for OFWs who are away from their families back home. These special promos will allow them to be involved in the everyday needs and activities of their families, strengthening their relationships despite the distance,” said Edith Gomez-Cudiamat, VP & Head of PLDT Global Operations.

TINBO is another innovation that contributes to the overall PLDT Group commitment to create digital solutions and collaborate with partners, to enhance customer experience wherever they are in the world.
