Sentbe, a global foreign exchange solutions provider, is launching a special promotion for its overseas remittance customers throughout July. The campaign aims to enhance user benefits and service experience during the summer vacation season, a period when demand for remittances typically increases due to travel and family support.
The 'July Remittance Promotion' runs from July 1st to 31st and features a summer event for all customers, alongside tailored benefits for key remittance countries like China and the Philippines. Customers who remit a cumulative total of 1.5 million won or more through Sentbe during July will be automatically entered into a prize draw without needing to apply separately.
Prize winners can receive rewards such as a 500,000 won Hana Tour gift certificate, a Samsonite 20-inch suitcase, five Shinil BLDC circulators, and 20 Baskin-Robbins pints. The winners will be announced on August 7th via a pop-up on the Sentbe app and its official Facebook page. An additional incentive is available for customers who participate in the July promotion and complete at least one remittance in August, granting them automatic entry into a special prize event for that month.
Sentbe is also offering country-specific promotions. For remittances to China via WeChat (Weixin), customers sending a cumulative 1.5 million won or more can enter a raffle for a share of 2 million won in cashback. New WeChat remittance users sending 500,000 won or more will receive an additional 5,000 won cashback. For remittances to the Philippines, a promotion celebrating the GCash partnership offers automatic entry tickets for every GCash remittance. Additional tickets are awarded for the first GCash remittance by the user or a referred friend, with prizes including Coupang gift cards and Olive Young gift cards.
The overseas remittance market is increasingly characterized by competition in offering customized benefits tailored to regional usage patterns. As demand grows from students, foreign workers, and families abroad, factors beyond remittance fees, such as local receiving channels and additional perks, are becoming key considerations for service selection. Sentbe aims to strengthen its customized services by reflecting user patterns and demands in major remittance countries while providing tangible benefits through this promotion.
