The company’s B2B unit has been officially rebranded as Palawan for Business. Looking ahead, President and CEO Karlo M. Castro introduced new initiatives for the company’s next phase of transformation.

“We are proud to introduce Pera Padala Abroad, Project Voyager, and VISA Direct, solutions designed to integrate the digital and physical, and respond to the evolving needs of Filipinos wherever they may be,” Castro said.
