Sendwave, an international money transfer service, announces a new partnership with Filipino music icon Ogie Alcasid. This collaboration highlights Ogie’s support for Sendwave’s mission of providing overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) with remittances that are secure, fast, and charge no transfer fees.
Janice Chang, Global Brand Lead for Sendwave Philippines, expressed her enthusiasm on the collaboration: “We're so excited to welcome Ogie Alcasid to the Sendwave community. Ogie is beloved among Filipino families all around the world for his talent, humor, and his deep connection to family values, making him the perfect ambassador for Sendwave. With Ogie on board, we’re confident we can further our mission of helping OFWs support their loved ones, no matter the distance by sending money with no transfer fees.”
With this, Alcasid shared that he has long admired OFWs’ commitment to provide for their families.
“Noon pa man, saludo na ako sa ating mga OFW. Hindi biro ang kanilang pagkawalay at pakikibagay sa ibang bansa para magtrabaho. Naniniwala ako na sa tulong ng Sendwave, makakampante ang ating mga OFW na magpadala ng pera sa kanilang mga pamilya sa Pilipinas nang sigurado, mabilis, at affordable " he said.

(“I really look up to our OFWs. Being away from home and adapting to another country for work is so hard. I believe that, with Sendwave, our OFWs can feel confident that their families back home in the Philippines will receive their remittances in a safe, fast, and affordable way.”)
Sendwave was founded in 2014 and since it kicked off operations in the Philippines in 2021, it has simplified the remittance process for OFWs in an affordable way. Users can send money directly from their phones through the Sendwave app, as easily as sending a text message. The app ensures that hard-earned money reaches loved ones fast, eliminating the need for form-filling, queuing, visiting banks or remittance centers. Sendwave supports transfers to bank accounts, cash pickups and mobile wallets, offering a hassle-free experience without additional transfer fees.
Chang emphasized the importance of OFW remittances: “In 2023, OFW remittances constituted nearly 7.7% of the country's GDP. These remittances are essential to Filipino families, so it is our mission at Sendwave to ensure that OFWs can send their hard-earned money home easily, safely, and affordably."
As part of Zepz, Sendwave continues to expand its global reach, and with Ogie Alcasid as its new ambassador, the company is ready to launch exciting new campaigns to help OFWs stay connected with their families back home.
