How to use GCash Padala

GCash is more than just an e-wallet service. The company has introduced new features over the years that solidify its existence as a financial company. Recently, they introduced one big feature that a lot of people, GCash users or not, have been clamoring for. It’s called GCash Padala.

One of the main issues of GCash money transfer is that the receiver also needs to have an app and account to receive the money. The thing is, not a lot of Filipinos have the time to set it up or even have the appropriate device to download the app to. That’s what they’re trying to address with GCash Padala.

With this service, GCash users can send money to friends and families that don’t have a GCash account.

Once the money is sent, the recipient can claim the money through outlet partners across the Philippines. You can check the steps below.
