MANNY PACQUIAO PARTNERS WITH 24/7 CARD All New Card That Lets You Send Money Home
LOS ANGELES (April 26, 2011) — Manny Pacquiao and 24/7 Card are proud to announce the signing of their exclusive partnership to create an all new financial card product. Designed especially for Filipinos and immigrants in the United States and around the world, the 24/7 Card will offer the convenience of being able to send money home conveniently directly from the card.
Manny Pacquiao, the only boxing champion to win world championship belts in eight different weight classes, will be an advisor and spokesperson for the 24/7 Card. Together with a team of experts in the U.S. and the Philippines, Manny and 24/7 Card are developing a single card to help Filipino-Americans build their financial strength to save money, shop, use ATMs, pay bills and send money home.
“I think the 24/7 Card will be hugely popular with Filipinos abroad,” said Pacquiao. “Filipinos in the U.S. work hard and support their families in the U.S. and the Philippines. The ability to use the 24/7 Card to send money home conveniently and safely at any time, 24/7, is a big benefit.”
24/7 Card CEO, Lance Rosenzweig, who is the founder and former CEO of PeopleSupport, one of the first and largest call center operations in the Philippines, is thrilled to be working with Manny Pacquiao.
“We are delighted to be working with one of the greatest sports icons in the world,” said Rosenzweig. “It’s an honor to be working with Manny in the development and launch of the 24/7 Card. Manny is passionate about helping Filipinos around the world. We are excited to be working with Manny on this new financial and remittance service. Our goal is to have the 24/7 Card become the smarter way to bank and send money. Manny’s enthusiasm for supporting Filipino overseas workers, together with the new features of the 24/7 Card, will result in a fantastic offering into the market.”
The 24/7 Card is scheduled to launch in Summer 2011 in the U.S. Additional details on the product offering will be made available closer to the launch. Parties interested in learning more about the 24/7 Card can visit www.247Card.Com and register to receive new product details as they are released.
