Faster, cheaper, and more transparent cross-border transfers now possible through GoTyme Bank app
Sending money home just got easier, faster, and smarter for millions of Filipino families. GoTyme Bank, one of the Philippines’ fastest-growing digital banks, has officially partnered with Wise Platform, the global leader in payment infrastructure.
This landmark collaboration makes GoTyme Bank the first Wise Platform partner in the Philippines and Wise’s first International Receive partner in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Together, they’re empowering over 7.8 million Filipinos with seamless, low-cost, and transparent international remittances through the GoTyme Bank app.
Redefining How Filipinos Receive Money from Abroad
For decades, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families have faced steep remittance fees, hidden charges, and long processing times. The GoTyme–Wise partnership tackles these long-standing challenges head-on by integrating Wise’s trusted global infrastructure directly into the GoTyme Bank app.
Customers can now receive money from over 11,000 banks worldwide via SWIFT, covering 23 major currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, and SGD all with transparent pricing and faster settlement.
With just a few taps, users can view and share their GoTyme account details, making it easier for senders abroad to transfer funds directly to the Philippines. Once received, customers can withdraw their remittances for free at over 1,400 Robinsons Retail partner stores nationwide, ensuring accessibility even without traditional bank branches.
Empowering Families and Building a More Inclusive Financial Future
Remittances are a lifeline for millions of Filipino households. In 2024 alone, OFWs sent home over US$38 billion, contributing significantly to the nation’s economy. However, Wise research shows that Filipinos lost around USD 170 million (₱9.74 billion) that same year due to hidden fees and poor exchange rates.
This new integration changes that. By making remittances faster, fairer, and more transparent, GoTyme Bank and Wise Platform are helping families get the full value of every peso sent turning overseas earnings into opportunities for education, livelihood, and growth.
“Our collaboration with Wise is about creating a trusted remittance experience that feels effortless,” said Nate Clarke, President and CEO of GoTyme Bank. “By pairing Wise’s world-class technology and global network with GoTyme Bank’s simple, beautiful banking, we’re redefining how Filipinos support their families, grow their ambitions, and stay connected to what matters most.”
“This partnership exemplifies Wise’s mission to build the infrastructure for the world’s money,” added Samarth Bansal, APAC General Manager of Wise Platform. “GoTyme Bank is the first in the Philippines to break away from hidden charges and slow speeds on SWIFT payments. For 14 years, Wise has been building better cross-border systems and now, Filipinos can benefit from this innovation through GoTyme.”
A New Era for Cross-Border Banking
As Filipinos increasingly expect global payments to be as seamless as local transfers, this partnership sets a new benchmark for digital banking in the Philippines. Combining GoTyme’s customer-first approach with Wise’s trusted global network, the two companies are bringing world-class financial access to millions of Filipinos both at home and abroad.
This collaboration isn’t just about faster transactions, it’s about empowering real connections between families and communities, wherever they are in the world.
