For Filipinos, the Palawan Group of Companies has become synonymous with reliable and accessible financial solutions. For nearly four decades, they’ve built a reputation as the go-to place for pawning, remittances, and various financial transactions catering to everyday needs. Their unwavering dedication to their customers, fondly called “sukis,” is evident in their popular tagline “I-Palawan Mo Na!” which translates to “Make it Palawan Now!”
The Palawan Group’s success lies in its commitment to providing “mura, mabilis at walang kuskos balungos” (affordable, fast, and hassle-free) services. This includes pawning through Palawan Pawnshop with high appraisals and low interest rates, domestic and international remittances via Palawan Express Pera Padala (PEPP), micro-insurance, and their e-wallet platform, PalawanPay.
But what truly sets them apart is their innovative approach — BrickTech. This strategy champions the merging of their extensive physical branch network (over 3,300 branches nationwide) with their digital solutions like PalawanPay. This seamless blend ensures accessibility, reliability, and solidifies their leadership in the Philippine financial sector.
Imagine needing quick cash for your child’s tuition or a business venture. You can head to your nearest Palawan Pawnshop and get the best rates on your valuables. Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) can also send money back home securely and promptly through PEPP’s international remittance services. Families can receive their much-needed support with “cash agad ang tanggap” (instant cash upon receiving), and for added peace of mind, they get free ProtekTODO personal insurance coverage when claiming through PEPP or PalawanPay.
“At Palawan, our ‘sukis’ are at the heart of everything we do. We’re dedicated to constant innovation, always seeking ways to serve them better and provide winning financial solutions through our ‘mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos balungos na serbisyo,'” according to Karlo Eugene Castro, President and CEO of the Palawan Group of Companies.
PalawanPay’s continuous development is a testament to this commitment. This e-wallet allows users to conveniently manage financial needs “pwede sa branch at pwede rin sa app” (either in-branch or through the app), offering features like pawn renewal, international remittance claims, and ProtekTODO insurance management. These innovations have propelled PalawanPay to become the fastest-growing e-wallet in the Philippines, reaching 18 million users in just two years.
