Xoom to BPI money transfer now only takes hours
November 28, 2007
Money transfer Xoom.com recently announced that they partnered with one of the Philippines’ largest banking institutions to deliver fund transfers in just a few hours, as opposed to days which is the usual case.
In an email to all users, Xoom explained that:
Bank deposits to the Bank of the Phillipine Islands (BPI) will now be available in your recipient’s account in just hours — instead of the next day!
This direct partnership with BPI will make bank deposit money transfers to your recipient’s BPI account much faster than before.
I have personally used Xoom to transfer funds to my local bank accounts and it usually takes 2-3 days before transactions are completed. This change is definitely a nice Christmas gift to all Xoom and BPI account holders because they can get their money faster.
Now if only Xoom can address users’ common problems of cancelled transactions without explanation, rejected transfers, and sucky customer service…

I received an email from Xoom saying that they have entered into similar partnerships with Metrobank and BDO/EPCIB. This is certainly good news and I advice that recipients use their dollar accounts and have the banks change their money. Xoom’s exchange rate is quite low.

Hi bryan, pag pinili mo ang BPI na option kapag magsesend ka ng pera, may field dun para ilagay mo yung bank account number.

I’ve used Xoom to send money to the Philippines and it worked really well. I’m a big fan.

Karen, try asking the sender about the status of the payment. He’ll be able to know about it in his Xoom account. From there, you’ll both know if there’s something wrong with the payment.
maria.cristina corpuz, I think you can pick it up in almost all EPCI Bank branches. Visit Xoom.com’s website for a complete list of bank branches where you can pick up your money.
