In a media release, Moneybees, a licensed over-the-counter cryptocurrency exchange in the Philippines, announced that it has experienced consistent growth through its partnership with Monteal Money Changer Services. According to the firm, despite economic uncertainties, the collaboration has been successful, meeting the Filipino preference for secure, in-person cryptocurrency transactions in the Philippines.
Moneybees and Monteal Money Changer
The two entities began their partnership in 2017, with the money changer providing more channels for customers to conduct face-to-face cryptocurrency transactions.
According to Moneybees, the exchange’s operations were delayed due to the disruptions caused by the severe lockdown measures during the pandemic.
However, the partnership persevered and quickly resumed operations once restrictions were lifted, overcoming the pandemic-related challenges.
Overcoming Pandemic-Related Challenges
“Moneybees’ crypto buy and sell services have proven to be a pandemic-proof business for our money service business (MSB) partners, particularly Monteal, helping them to cover their monthly business operating expenses in order to survive during these challenging times,” Jay Ricky Villarante, Moneybees Founder, Chairman and CEO, stated.
Villarante also highlighted the preference of Filipinos for personal transactions, hence the need for an (over-the-counter) OTC cryptocurrency exchange, emphasizing that Moneybees fulfills this by enabling customers to trust a crypto exchange with real individuals who assist in facilitating their transactions and managing their funds.
“The partnership with Moneybees had a great impact on our business, especially during the pandemic years when the business was a work-from-home scheme. The online exchange of digital currencies was one of the most feasible types of business during the crisis as it withstood the negative business impact on our company and survived,” said Monteal Money Changer Services Business Owner and CEO Allan Montebon.
Cryptocurrency Offerings at the Monteal Money Changer Services Outlet
At the Monteal Money Changer Services outlet situated at The Venice Grand Canal Mall in McKinley Hill, Taguig City, customers have access to a range of cryptocurrencies for trading and investment. These include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Tether (USDT), USD Coin, and Ripple (XRP).
Villarante emphasized that Moneybees’ success during the pandemic and its partnership with Montreal Money Changer demonstrate their dedication to innovation and resilience.
“By combining our expertise, we have made significant strides in democratizing access to cryptocurrency services and ensuring financial inclusivity for all Filipinos,” he added.
