Why Send with Pomelo?
Traditional money transfer services treat your support for family as just another transaction. At Pomelo, we see it differently – we believe every transfer is an opportunity to send more love home.
Send money and earn points that convert into GrabGift codes. This means your regular transfers can do double duty: send the support your family needs while earning rewards you can turn into surprise treats, from free rides to meal deliveries. And if you send with the Pomelo Mastercard® and you're money can send even more money home with zero transfer fees.
Best of all, your money arrives in minutes, not days, going straight to their GCash wallet. No more asking family to wait or make special trips to pickup locations – just instant access to the funds they need.
