By Leandra Monteiro

PERA HUB, the Philippines’ foremost consumer financial services center, has joined forces with Brankas, an Open API technology provider, to launch Southeast Asia’s first API Developer portal and digital platform to empower the next generation of FinTech solutions.

PERA HUB Conex, a Digital Remittance Platform (DRP) serves foreign and local remittance companies, FinTech partners, banks, ewallets, brick-and-mortar retailers, and any other business looking to offer their customers world-class digital remittance services.

As PERA HUB’s technology partner, Brankas is implementing its Open Finance system to unlock new digital remittance channels for Filipinos at home and abroad. Brankas provides a modern and secure API developer portal that enables partners to access the PERA HUB network with just a few lines of code.

“We’re very excited to introduce the very first digital remittance platform in the market, providing a hub where businesses can offer their services to multiple communities,” shared Ian Ocampo, President and CEO of PERA HUB. “Through our open and cost-efficient platform, we will provide remittance brands with safe & scalable solutions. But at the core of it all is our desire to empower customers to send and receive remittances, in the most convenient way possible.”

Brankas CEO Todd Schweitzer commented, “At Brankas, our vision is to make modern financial services available to everyone. We are committed to driving Open Finance adoption in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, and by partnering with PERA HUB, we can help millions of Filipinos to safely and affordably access digital financial services in new ways. We also hope that the DRP will unlock a new generation of “fintech” startups in the Philippines that can use PERA HUB APIs to build new products to serve Filipinos around the world.”
