If you received an SMS notification that your GCash verification was unsuccessful or rejected, there will be details in the message on the reason why. Here are some possible reasons and what you can do next:
The photo you submitted couldn’t be properly verified because your selfie scan may have been:
- Blurred: Ensure your photo is clear.
- Too Dark: Use good lighting.
- Obstructed: Make sure your face is fully visible and not covered.
Tips for a Successful Selfie Scan:
- Lighting: Take the photo in a well-lit area.
- Visibility: Ensure your full face is visible.
- Background: Avoid people or distractions in the background.
- Attire: Wear a shirt or a top during your selfie scan
This means there was a problem with either the photo of the ID you submitted or the actual ID.
Tips for Proper ID Submission:
- Original & Valid ID: Use the actual ID, not a photocopy/xerox/scanned copy. Make sure it’s an accepted ID that is NOT expired
- Good Lighting: Take the photo in a well-lit space
- Fully Visible: Ensure the entire ID is seen in the photo and not cropped
- Clear: Make sure none of the details or picture is blurry
- Orientation: Take the photo right side up
- Details should match: The info in your ID should match the info you inputted in the GCash app
