    How to send money to GCash in 5 simple steps

    Decide how you want to transfer money

    You can send money to a GCash account in the Phillipines if the recipient has a fully registered profile. Choose to send money online, in-person at a Western Union agent location, or via our international money transfer app available on iOS and Android.

    Determine how much to send

    Choose how much money you want to send to your recipient’s GCash account. Remember, a few factors determine how much your loved one receives, including the current exchange rate. You can estimate the cost of your transfer ahead of time and setup exchange rate alerts using the Western Union app.

    Enter recipient’s GCash account details

    Make sure your funds go to the intended GCash account. Carefully provide details about your recipient, including their name, account number, address, and phone number. You can save their details to your Western Union account to make repeat payments quickly and easily.

    Choose payment method

    Choose your payment option: cash, credit or debit card, bank account, or mobile wallet. If you plan to pay for your money transfer to a GCash account with cash, you can start your transfer online then head to your nearest Western Union location.

    Finalize and track your transfer

    Confirm your transfer and the money will be on its way. You’ll receive a confirmation email containing a Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN). This tracks your payment, and you can share it with your recipient. Once GCash confirms the details, the app will notify the recipient that the money has been successfully transferred.
