Filipinos now have a convenient and secure way of paying their loved one’s bills back home, saving them time and money from going to a brick and mortar store or remittance center. They are also assured that payments are posted to the specified account with the correct amount.

“Xoom’s partnership with PayMaya is a real win for our Fil-Am customers by making payments for their loved ones in the Philippines easier, simpler and faster. With Bill Pay, Xoom customers can pay a PLDT or Smart bill anytime, anywhere on their computer, tablet or mobile phone in less than a minute,” said Julian King, Xoom’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Customers looking for a fast and convenient way to pay their loved ones’ bills in the Philippines can now do it through Xoom.”

New customers can create a free account on Xoom, enroll any U.S. bank account, debit card or credit card as their payment source, and begin to pay bills conveniently and securely. The fee to pay a bill is $2.99 and there is no cost to the bill account holder in the Philippines.

"One of the most challenging concerns that overseas Filipinos face is paying for the bills for their loved ones in the Philippines. This is usually a complicated process that involves sending the money from abroad to family or friends back home and making sure that the money does indeed go to the payment of bills. We're offering a straightforward but pioneering solution that leverages our digital financial technologies," said Lawrence Ferrer, Vice President and Department Head at PayMaya Philippines.
