GCash Wallet and Transaction Limits
GCash limits may affect how much money you can hold, add, send, receive, or withdraw. Limits may depend on account verification, wallet balance, transaction type, and current GCash rules.
If a transaction fails, one possible reason is that you reached a wallet, cash-in, transfer, or account limit. For more details, read GCash limits.
Does Verification Affect GCash Limits?
Yes. Account verification may affect your available wallet features and limits. A fully verified account may have access to more services or higher limits than a basic or restricted account.
If your account has limited features, read how to verify a GCash account.
Fees vs Limits: What Is the Difference?
A fee is the amount charged for using a service. A limit is the maximum amount you can hold, send, receive, or transact. Both can affect your transaction, but they are not the same.
For example, you may have enough balance to pay a fee, but the transfer may still fail if the amount exceeds your account limit.
