Rural banks launch OFW Bayaning Bayanihan campaign

MANILA, Philippines - Eleven of the country’s biggest rural banks have partnered with the Economic Resource Center for Overseas Filipinos (ERCOF) to help the country’s 10 million overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) by providing them and their families with traditional banking and microfinance services in their respective towns and provinces.

The Bayaning Bayanihan campaign seeks to create a link between the OFWs and the services of their rural banks that are located near the places their families live.

Remittance from OFWs abroad can now be done through the partner rural banks making it safe, fast and secure. Further information on the campaign, the list of participating banks and OFW packages is available at http://bayaningbayanihan.wordpress.com.
