Receiving Money with a Gcash Basic Account
Once you have a Gcash Basic account, you can receive money from other Gcash users or through bank transfers. Here’s how:
- Receive from other Gcash users: The sender can send money directly to your Gcash number. They will need to input your number and the amount they want to send.
- Receive from banks: You can provide your Gcash number to the sender when you make a bank transfer request. The money will be credited to your Gcash account within a few minutes.
| Transaction Type | Daily Limit |
|---|---|
| Receive from other Gcash users | ₱20,000 |
| Receive from banks | ₱50,000 |
Receiving Money via Transaction Reference Number
Basic GCash users can receive money from other GCash users by providing a Transaction Reference Number (TRN). Here are the steps on how to receive money using a TRN:
- Ask the sender to provide you with the TRN for the transaction.
- Open the GCash app on your device.
- Tap on the “Receive Money” option.
- Select “Transaction Reference Number.”
- Enter the TRN provided by the sender.
