Key takeaways:

With their zealot approach to explore greener pastures, Filipinos have become one of the most prominent migrant communities across the world. The OFWs, Overseas Filipino Workers of 2.4 Million include people of different capacities from housemaids to high profile professionals. (1) Their inward remittance of $ 34 Billion, nearly 11% of GDP, makes the Philippines one of the top countries that benefit from the remittance. (2)

A migrant Filipino treads a tightrope walk to ensure a smooth balance of his or her expenses and the ability to support the family in the homeland. Any unplanned financial requirements such as emergency medical expenses, tuition fees, or an unavoidable repair of your house can upset your economic equilibrium. 

The conventional loan conditions target local populations, making loan availability quite hard for an overseas employee. It forces an OFW to end up with loan sharks to tide over any financial emergencies. 

What does an OFW Loan mean?
