How to Transfer Money from BDO to GCash

More and more people are using digital wallets these days, especially since the current pandemic began. By using a digital wallet, you can send money, pay bills, make online purchases, and avail of other financial services from the safety of your home.

One of the most popular digital wallets is GCash, a product of G-Xchange, Inc. (GXI), which is a Globe Telecom subsidiary. You can use it to send money to other GCash users, pay utility bills, make purchases, and other transactions. Many online and physical stores also accept GCash as a mode of payment, making it a useful and convenient financial tool, indeed.

Of course, in order to use GCash, you’ll need to “cash in” or transfer money into your account. You can do to this by making an over-the-counter transaction in a convenience store like 7-Eleven, or via a remittance center such as Palawan Pawnshop. But if you have a BDO online account, you can transfer money to your GCash wallet… anytime, anywhere!
