LBC TXT Remit now available in Luzon

LBC TXT Remit, one of LBC Express, Inc.'s newest service that allows you to send and receive money through SMS, is finally available in greater Metro Manila and Luzon.

Saya berada di cabang LBC terdekat di Bacoor ketika saya melihat poster TXT Remit baru di dinding mereka. Saya menanyakan tentang layanan tersebut dan diberitahu bahwa layanan itu pertama kali diluncurkan di Cebu pada bulan April, namun baru tersedia di Luzon bulan ini.

The service is pretty simple. The sender first needs to buy a prepaid card which comes in three denominations: Php1,500, Php1,000, and Php500. Upon purchase, the sender needs to scratch the back of the card to reveal the PIN which the he/she can send via SMS using the syntax LBCTRIPP/ to 2910.

Layanan tersebut kemudian akan segera membalas dengan nomor pelacakan dan PIN yang dapat diteruskan pengirim kepada penerima sehingga mereka dapat menerima konfirmasi jumlah yang dikirim.

Untuk mencairkan remitansi, penerima harus menyediakan ID yang valid dan mengisi formulir pencairan LBC beserta nomor pelacakan dan PIN.

This service is faster and more convenient especially for those who are just sending small amounts as it doesn't require the sender to bring an ID and fill up forms. We're yet to try this service ourselves but if you've already done this please share your experience by writing it down the comments field below.
