Our mission.

"Built by Filipinos who have lived the OFW experience."

— The Kapwa Team

We know what it costs to work far from the people you love most. We know the weight of every transfer — not just in fees, but in what it represents. Kapwa is a Filipino word meaning shared humanity. We built this wallet because OFWs have been overcharged for too long, and every peso that disappears in fees is a peso that should have reached your family.

01 — Fee honesty

1.1%. Flat.

No exchange rate markup. No surprise charges. The price you see is what you pay.

02 — Receiver-first

Built for the unbanked

38 million Filipinos are unbanked. Cash pickup is a first-class method, not an afterthought.

03 — Institutional security

Handled like it matters

Fireblocks MPC. Sumsub KYC. Because every transfer represents someone's sacrifice.

The numbers your family will feel.

Yes. Kapwa uses Fireblocks MPC custody — institutional-grade infrastructure used by major banks. Every account is verified through Sumsub KYC to global AML standards. Funds are held in a 100% peso-backed stablecoin, never invested or lent out.
GCash and Maya transfers arrive near-instantly. InstaPay bank deposits typically complete within 30 minutes. Cash pickup at Cebuana, Palawan, or M Lhuillier is available the same day.
Absolutely. Cash pickup is available at thousands of Cebuana Lhuillier, Palawan Express, and M Lhuillier locations across the Philippines — including remote provinces. Your family just needs a valid ID and the reference number.
Open the Kapwa app, enter your amount, and choose your konbini. At Lawson or FamilyMart, scan your code at the Loppi kiosk. At 7-Eleven, show your barcode to the cashier. Hand over yen — your wallet is funded in minutes. No Japanese bank account required.
Traditional routes involve correspondent banks, FX desks, and multiple intermediaries — each taking a cut. Kapwa uses PHPA, a peso-backed stablecoin, on blockchain rails. This eliminates intermediary overhead so we can charge 1.1% flat and still pass the real mid-market FX rate.
No. You can fund your wallet entirely in cash at any of 56,000+ konbini locations — 7-Eleven, Lawson, and FamilyMart — 24 hours a day.
