Case Study: GCash explains wallet and transfer limits with TransFi

GCash raises wallet limits to ₱500,000 with TransFi

GCash, the dominant mobile wallet in the Philippines, faced a challenge where its users, particularly freelancers and small business owners receiving payments from abroad, were frequently hindered by the platform's wallet and transfer limits tied to account verification tiers. These caps on monthly incoming funds often caused transactions to bounce, disrupting business operations and payments for its users.

TransFi addressed this by providing educational content through its blog and platform, clearly explaining GCash's verification process and limits. The solution guided users on how to upgrade from a Basic to a Fully Verified account and then to GCash Plus, thereby increasing their monthly incoming limit from a few thousand pesos to ₱100,000 and ultimately to ₱500,000. For businesses needing to circumvent these limits entirely, TransFi offers its BizPay and BizPay Pro services for cross-border payments and collections, providing a reliable infrastructure that integrates with GCash.
