Tempo France , an EU-based payment system operator, has planned to supply the local Philippine market with a complete business solution for remittances from the EU to the Philippines. The firm has signed an agreement with Cebuana Lhuiller, a local multi-industry company, to provide the latter with a complete white-label package.

With this contract, Cebuana is able to conduct money transfers from the EU to the Philippines under its own brand name. The package encompasses a wide spectrum of services, including a fully branded mobile app, legal coverage of transfers within the European Union, financial settlements as well as an IT solution. Additionally, it includes all aspects of security: Know Your Customer (KYC), and Asset/Liability Management (ALM).

Moreover, this package will be offered in a ready-for-use state. The IT solution powering this offer was designed and developed in collaboration with Tempo’s strategic partner, Armenotech, a Cypriot international fintech company. The core IT feature is the Stellar blockchain, allowing for high-security and effective money transfers. Once launched, the project will enable individuals from Europe to send money using the app and afterwards for receivers to collect pesos at Cebuana Lhuiller locations all across the Philippines.

Based on the Stellar blockchain, the solution incorporates an important set of parameters, including high transaction speed, safety, and presenting money transfers at a minimal cost.

The firm partnered with Armenotech in January 2023, aiming to jointly strengthen its activities in the international payment market and further stimulate an intensive integration of Stellar blockchain on a global scale. In April 2023, Tempo France and Armenotech took a decision to partner with fintech nTokens to allow remittances to Brazil from the European Union.
