About LBC Padala

LBC Padala is the money-remittance service of LBC Express (originally Luzon Brokerage Corporation), a Philippine company founded in Manila in 1945 that grew around the needs of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) sending money and "balikbayan boxes" home to their families. Publicly traded on the Philippine Stock Exchange and still headquartered in Pasay City, LBC now operates remittance and courier services through more than 6,400 locations, partners and agents across 30+ countries, making it one of the most recognizable names in the Filipino diaspora worldwide.
