"We are thrilled to partner with TFC, one of the most well-known and respected brands among Filipinos. Xoom and TFC are both pioneers and leaders in their respective fields of online money transfers and broadcasting, and this partnership makes absolute sense for our customers," said Pia Palpal-latoc Guter, Director of Marketing for the Philippines at Xoom. "We are excited to offer customers this incentive of the free subscription, and for people to discover how convenient, safe and fast it is to send money home with Xoom.com."
"More and more Filipinos are developing the habit and preference for doing online viewing of content and performing online transactions primarily because of the convenience and control it gives to them in terms of managing time," said TFC.tv General Manager Eugene Paden. "The partnership of Xoom and TFC.tv, two leading online services catering to Filipinos, reinforces that convenience for customers and enriches their overall online experience."
Filipino customers can visit www.xoom.com/tfc, click the designated link, and then send their money transfer of $100 or more to the Philippines. Xoom will email the customer a unique claim code, usually within one hour after the transaction is complete. This offer is valid for new Xoom customers who send their first money transfer September 30 – October 31, 2014 (terms and conditions apply).
