Ana is well versed in the many challenges of working abroad and has now made it her personal mission to make sure fellow Pinoy expats are getting the most convenient and economical remittance service that they rightly deserve.&quot;As OFWs, we get so used to sacrificing time waiting in line that it becomes normal - at the airport, the embassy, the labor office. In fact, our struggles have become so commonplace that they are often turned into viral memes.&quot;My mom has worked in Dubai for the past 20+ years. As a single mother and sole provider for her 3 kids, she has worked hard towards self-sufficiency. She and her friends are very traditional in the way they send remittances, despite high fees and low exchange rates, simply because they have not been introduced to a better way.This motivated me to take on the challenge of launching Taptap Send to the Philippine diaspora. Unlike some traditional remittance services, Taptap Send is extremely mindful of how precious their customers’ time is, as well as how hard they worked to earn their money and designed their remittance app with these two things in mind.”With fast and secure transactions, competitive exchange rates and, best of all - ZERO transfer fees, Taptap Send is poised to change the remittance landscape for Filipinos overseas, providing them with a cheap and easy alternative that caters to their busy and increasingly mobile lifestyle.Rolled out to the US, UK, Europe and Canada and soon the UAE, Taptap Send is already getting positive response from users sending to the Philippines.Forty-three year-old father of two, Chad Mendoza, from Milan, Italy, is among the first few OFWs who have converted to using Taptap Send for their remittances.&quot;First of all, there&#x27;s no transfer fee and the app is so simple, user friendly and straightforward, unlike other apps which require you to pay cash in or do a bank transfer first&quot;, Mendoza shares.<center><img alt="OFWs celebrate the launch of Taptap Send" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2023/04/11/taptap-send-2.jpg"/></center>&quot;It&#x27;s secure as you don&#x27;t need to carry cash around to bring to the remittance centers. Also, since the Italian government for the past few years is gearing up to their project &#x27;Italia Cashless&#x27;, Taptap Send will help Pinoys adapt to social changes and follow the law, thus making us Pinoys here in Italy responsible immigrants.&quot;Grace Delos Santos, a full-time Homemaker / Content creator and mother of 3 based in Alberta, Canada has also joined the call to share the benefits of Taptap Send to her followers.&quot;Honestly hindi ko alam ang tungkol sa Taptap Send, not until may lumapit sa akin para makipag collab so inaral ko talaga sya. I did my research and legit and maganda naman ang mga nakuha kong feedback sa internet about Taptap Send. Unang una mataas ang exchange rate, tapos walang service charge, and then mabilis! Hoping din ako na by joining their ambassador program we can support the community through event sponsorships and provide an extra source of income for those who need it.&quot;<center><img alt="OFWs celebrate the launch of Taptap Send" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2023/04/11/taptap-send-3.jpg"/></center>Launched in 2019, Taptap Send is an international Peer-to-Peer remittance company with a mission to equalize access to capital globally by ensuring everyone has access to fast and convenient remittances at the lowest rates possible.Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals, the app was first launched in the most underserved territories in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean where access to banks and cash for the greater population remains an issue.The app&#x27;s Founder and CEO, Michael Faye is a well-known philanthropist, Harvard Business School alumnus who has pursued technology for social awareness and global impact.
