GCash to GCash Minimum Transfer

The minimum amount you can send from GCash to GCash is ₱1. Yes, there’s virtually no minimum amount required, which is why many people use this feature for business and personal purposes.  

GCash to GCash Limit

While there’s no minimum amount you can send from GCash to GCash, there’s a maximum amount.

We’ve mentioned that you can still send money from GCash to GCash even if you’re unverified. But that comes with a limitation. To understand the limits, we’ve prepared this table:

Account Type	GCash to GCash Limit
Basic	₱50,000
Fully Verified	₱100,000
Fully Verified w/ linked bank account/GSave/GInvest and Enterprise	₱500,000

The GCash to GCash limit is the wallet size for each account type. This means that every transaction you do counts towards that wallet limit.

For instance, you’ve cashed in ₱30,000, purchased items worth ₱5,000, and you’re a Fully Verified user; you can’t send ₱100,000 anymore. You’ve already exceeded your wallet size for that month.

So, it’s better to get your GCash account verified so you’ll double your wallet size.
