What is GCash?
GCash is a Philippine mobile wallet operated by G-Xchange, Inc. and regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. You hold a peso balance in the app and spend it by QR code, by sending to another GCash account, or through a merchant checkout. Money gets into the wallet by cash in at a partner outlet or by transfer from a bank over the BSP's InstaPay and PESONet rails, and Philippine exchanges commonly accept it as a funding method.
- Speed
- Paying from a GCash balance is real time, and money moved in from a bank arrives instantly over InstaPay or by the end of the same banking day over PESONet.
- Cost
- GCash does not charge you to pay a merchant from your wallet balance; the cost sits on putting money in, where the fee depends on the cash in method and the sending institution.
- Limits
- InstaPay carries a per transaction ceiling of PHP 50,000 for personal transfers, and GCash caps what your wallet can hold and move by verification tier, so verify the account fully before a large deposit.
Speed and cost describe the rail itself. What an exchange adds on top varies by platform and is shown per exchange below.
