For many OFWs, one of the main goals for working abroad is so that they can afford to buy a new house for their family in the future. This is the reason why they work hard day after day, trying to save as much as they can for their dream home.
Well, here’s a good news for you. With the right housing loan, you don’t have to wait for years before you can acquire your very own property.
The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is one of the leading banks in the country and they are offering a housing loan option for interested OFWs.
