Say Hello to your Money Anytime, Anywhere with AUB HelloMoney!
Applying for a bank account in the Philippines is a bit hard especially when you are working online due to some legality papers that you need to comply with. I remember when I was starting to work as a freelancer, I’ve been declined by some banks because I don’t have the requirements to open an account. Now that most banks in the Philippines have shifted to digital platforms, banking has been made easy! In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising to know that almost every Filipino you meet has an existing prepaid savings account. Not only they are convenient, but they also allow you to save and make investments.

Some billers might have a service fee for processing the transaction, but most of the billers in HelloMoney have no transaction fee.

Yay this is a good news! Road to cashless society.
Perfect rin ito for people from overseas like me. No need to visit banks and less hazzle.
Digital banks are such life savers! I’ve always had it when i started working so i never experienced the hassle of falling in line in the bank! Haha
Aaah, it’s a lot like Union Bank’s EON card pala. Buti marami nang ganito. A few year’s back, EON card was our only option, so it was a little bit challenging for some people to open an account for payments that are transferred from overseas and resort to PayPal which deducts a big amount when you withdraw.
pwede po bang gamitin yung niremove na hellomoney card sa isang account papunta sa bagong account?. . Palage po kasing nilalabas na card not available kahit na naremove ko ka sya sa isang account.
Is it possible to use the Hello money ATM card for receiving salary?

Hello money accepts wire transfer using swift code? I am hesitant to use it for my wage as I am not sure if it will work and will never have a problem at all.
