a bummed life!

DBS is having a promotion to basically introduce their remittance service by making the transfer free of charge. Woot woot! Since this is just a promotion, it won’t last but i did contact DBS support and (at the time of this writing) there is no announced expiration yet. For now, we can enjoy this feature. Here are the steps, making extensive use of screencaps: 1. Log in to DBS internet banking (sorry, i won’t put the dbs link here.. since i hate phishing)

IMPORTANT: This post is already outdated.  Please follow the new instructions here:  How to get OEC Online First, let me make it clear: you can only do this if you satisfy the following conditions: 1. You’re an OFW (currently and ‘officially’ employed abroad) 2. Will be visiting the Philippines for 5 days or less. The OFW counters at the airports would only give you clearance (called emergency OEC) when you have your work visa and would be going back to your country of employment within 5 days. Anything other than that, you should go to POEA offices or distribution centers (i’ve read they have one in SM Manila and one in Trinoma).
