BPI Pamana Padala is a remittance solution exclusive to Overseas Filipino Remitters (i.e. individuals based overseas for employment, 18-55 years old, there is no restriction on the country of destination).

A seafarer's regular allotment will not form part of the remittance count to be entitled to the free Remittance Continuation Plan. Only client initiated remittances will form part of the remittance continuation benefit.

In case something unfortunate happens to the OF remitter, his family will continue to get remittance for 12 months.*

The account holder will get two types of insurances;

a. By opening an account, the OF remitter will automatically be entitled to a free 90-day Personal Accident Insurance with Php 100,000 coverage.
b. Account holder will be eligible to a free life insurance coverage of up to Php 300,000 for Peso Accounts or USD 6,000 for USD Accounts, effective on the 4th remittance within a 12-month period.
