Case Study: Kabayan Remit achieves rapid UK-to-Philippines growth with RemitONE

Kabayan selects RemitONE to build their UK to Philippines remittance business

Kabayan Remit, a UK-based SME money transfer brand serving the Philippines corridor, launched to expand beyond its parent company’s successful loans business and needed a proven platform for rapid market entry. Its main challenges were delivering a sophisticated online experience for tech-savvy customers, supporting AML/KYC and licensing requirements, enabling promotions and loyalty programs, and integrating with key payout partners in the Philippines. RemitONE provided its Money Transfer Engine (MTE) and Online Remittance Manager (ORM) as a hosted SaaS solution.

With RemitONE, Kabayan Remit implemented automated ID verification via Experian, online transaction capture across devices, flexible payment options, loyalty discounts, and integrations with Globe and E-Money Plus for payouts. The platform helped Kabayan Remit achieve over 500% growth in transaction volumes within a year, while strengthening online capability, customer retention, and scalable partner integration. RemitONE also supported Kabayan Remit’s plans to expand beyond the UK into Europe, Scandinavia, and North America.
