Why can’t I link my BPI to GCash?

If you cannot link your BPI account to GCash, there could be a system problem on the side of BPI.

It would help if you did not attempt to link it more than two times since your account can get locked three times after not logging in during the linking process.

GCash recommends that you reset your BPI account password and log in to the BPI Mobile or BPI Online app after 24 hours before trying the linking process again.

If you still cannot link your BPI account to GCash, you should submit a request to GCash Help Center.

BPI to GCash transfer limit

While you can process large amounts in single transactions in BPI, there is an incoming limit for your GCash account when you do fund transfers from BPI to GCash.

Realistically, there is a daily limit of P50,000 or just P15,000 for new GCash users.

The total amount in your GCash wallet cannot exceed P500,000 at any given time, so the amount sent plus the current balance must not exceed the amount.

Furthermore, you can only cash in a cumulative total of P500,000 per month regardless of the fund source.

You should link your BPI account for faster and free cash-ins.
