Times are tough, gas prices are high, and everything is expensive. As much as possible, you want services that are either cheap or free. Thankfully, mobile money transfers from BPI to GCash are free.
With millions of active users and account holders, there’s no denying that GCash and BPI are some of the busiest and most used mobile financial services in the Philippines.
Chances are, you are one of the many who use both services. One acts as a payroll account, while the other is mostly used for money transfers and bills payment.
Whatever you used them for, there’s one thing we’re sure about: you constantly transfer funds between them. Problem is, sending money from different services comes with pesky transaction fees.
