How to register to GCash
Note: Always make sure all your personal information is legitimate, correct, updated, and accurate. Do not use other people's information, as identity theft is punishable by law.
Here's how you can create a GCash account through the GCash App:
Tips to create a strong and secure MPIN
1. Avoid obvious numbers of basic combinations related to things like your birthday, house address, anniversary, etc.
2. Use the word method. PINs are much easier to remember if you associate them with a word. Look at your phone keypad, choose a 4-letter word, and see what number coordinates with that word. For instance, the word “LOVE” would be “5683.”
3. Dates can work too. You may also select a date as your PIN, just make sure it’s not easy to guess. An example would be the day you got your pet.
