With Christmas near, so are the long lines at the mall, the heavy traffic, and other inconveniences as Filipinos rush to get everything ready for holiday plans, family traditions, shopping, gift preparations. (MANILA BULLETIN) (MANILA BULLETIN) But with GCash, the leading mobile wallet platform, people can enjoy the freedom of being able to transfer funds conveniently, at no extra cost with just a smartphone — all one needs is an account name, the account number of the receiver, and internet connectivity. Transferring funds between banks in now easy. Through the partnership of GCash and InstaPay, an initiative led by the BSP under the National Retail Payments System framework, customers are allowed to transfer Philippine peso funds almost instantly between accounts of participating BSP-supervised banks and non-bank e-money issuers in the Philippines.

One has to double check to avoid sending money to the wrong person. Once this is done, go to the GCash account and log-in, then select ‘Bank Transfer’. Bring out the details you’ve initially prepared and locate the bank of your choice. GCash has partnered with:
