Method 2: Paypal
Now, let us check how you can transfer money from Paypal to GCash:
- Use your login information, such as your username and password, to access your GCash account.
- In the GCash app dashboard, choose Cash-in. After that, select PayPal from the Global Partners and Remittance menu.
- Input the desired amount, keeping in mind that the minimum transfer from Paypal to GCash is P500.
- The amount entered will be displayed when you click Next so you can make sure it’s accurate before confirming. Tap Confirm if the amount is right.
- After you confirm, you will be greeted with a display informing you that your transaction is being completed.
- You will be notified by SMS when your transaction is finished.
- Similar to that, you will get an email from PayPal informing you that your account has been charged the cash-in amount.
- Your funds will then be successfully credited to your GCash wallet, and GCash will notify you through SMS of this.
- Finally, you can verify the transaction’s success by checking your GCash or PayPal balance.
Note: The fact that GCash is a free service and allows transfers at any time is a benefit. Nevertheless, you can only withdraw PHP 500 at a time from PayPal to GCash.
Keep in mind that you can only transfer PHP balances, thus before using the Services Option, you must convert your PayPal account’s currency to PHP.
Moreover, you can use the Global Partners and Transfers tool to send money from GCash to PayPal.
