			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reading the reports from Barcelona, one may think that remitting money using the functionalities of the mobile phone is something new.   However, it appears that it is a functioning service in the Philippines, the SMS capital of the world.</p>

<blockquote><p>SMART PADALA is the first cash remittance service via text. It is a faster and cheaper way of remitting cash from a sender abroad to the celfone of a beneficiary here in the PhilippinesHow does SMART Padala work?</p>
<p>FOR SENDERS ABROAD:<br />
1. Go to any SMART Padala Remittance Partner. Fill out an information sheet about your beneficiary in the Philippines, especially his SMART Celfone number / SMART Money number.<br />
2. The Remittance Center will transfer your remittance to the SMART Money number of your Beneficiary. (NOTE: if you’re using SMART Padala for the first time, your beneficiary will be assigned a SMART money number to which the remittance will be transferred).<br />
3. After a few seconds/minutes, the Remittance Center will confirm that the transaction has been completed.</p>
<p>FOR BENEFICIARIES IN THE PHILIPPINES:<br />
1. You will receive a text message indicating your 16-digit SMART Money number. Another text message will be sent to confirm that the money has been received through the SMART money number.<br />
2. To encash, go to any SMART Padala Center.<br />
3. You will be sent a SMART Money card or you have the option to get a SMART Money Card in any SMART Wireless Center. Using the card, you can withdraw cash in any Banco de Oro, Expressnet or Megalink ATM’s nationwide</p></blockquote>
