Cash In via GCash Linked Account
Due to increasing costs, linked accounts will include a convenience fee for every Cash In transaction.
Listed below are the banks that will come with a convenience fee and their effectivity dates:
| BANK | FEES | EFFECTIVITY DATE |
| BPI | PHP 5 | October 2, 2023 |
| UnionBank | PHP 5 | December 2, 2023 |
Cash In via Online Banking
You can also cash in from your preferred bank’s website or app using InstaPay. GCash today is partnered with 40+ banks.
Our partner banks that use InstaPay may incur service fees that vary per bank. To know more about your preferred bank’s service fee, go to our list of bank apps that use InstaPay.
Cashing in via PayPal is also free of charge. Check out our PayPal FAQs for more information on how to add funds to your GCash through your PayPal account.
Over-the-Counter Cash In
Cashing in is free in all over-the-counter outlets until you reach a monthly limit of PHP 8,000. After reaching this limit, a service fee of 2% will apply each time you cash in. The fee will be deducted automatically from the amount you cashed into your GCash wallet.
This limit refreshes on the first day of each month, so you can cash in over the counter for up to PHP 8,000 for free every month.
Here is a sample computation below:
|
May 1 You cashed in Php 7,000 over-the-counter as your first cash-in for May. As you are below the limit this is free and you will receive Php 7,000 in your GCash wallet. |

May 5 You cashed in Php 1,100. Since you have already cashed in Php 7,000 before, the additional Php 1,100 would mean you’ve reached the Php 8,000 limit. Only the amount above the limit, Php 100, is subject to the 2% service fee, so the computation would be: 100 x 0.02 = Php 2 service fee. |
