Gone are the days when the only way you can transfer money from one bank account to another is through an over-the-counter transaction. Indeed, fund transfer is one of the most common banking transactions. This is why banks and financial institutions work hard to make it easier for everyone. From online banking apps to third-party providers, it’s now more convenient than ever to transfer funds.

Still, there are plenty of things that you should take into consideration when conducting fund transfer in the Philippines. Keeping these details in mind will make every transaction more seamless. Here are some of the most important ones:

Due to the extended community quarantine (ECQ), we probably have a lot more free time now. Although the ECQ in Metro Manila officially ends on May 15, we should still continue social distancing and go out only for work and basic necessities. For now it seems the only way we’ll be safe is when we all get vaccinated against this pandemic.

Anyway, for today’s lesson, let’s look at what Orison Swett Marden, one of my favorite authors wrote:

Our todays are the blocks with which we build our future. If these are defective, the whole structure of our life will correspond… Power and fortune are hidden away in the hours and moments as they pass, awaiting the eye that can see, the ear that can hear, the hand that can do.

Unfortunately, right now it’s not that simple. While we tell ourselves that we should really use the time to be more productive, read more books, put more time towards our goals, maybe start a side business or something else, you probably find that it’s not that easy especially as time goes on.

Start Planning for Life AFTER Quarantine

It has already been over a month since our government ordered an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in our area, and we have several days to go before it ends on April 30th (if it doesn’t get extended). Research said that it takes around 21 days to get a new habit so by now most people have already settled into daily routines designed around the ECQ.

We have to remember, however, that this pandemic will NOT last forever. Aside from a lot of us returning to office work and students returning to school, we’ll still need to finish the things that we needed to do before this all happened.

While I’d personally recommend that we continue to practice social distancing and go out only when necessary, we have to start planning for the work that needs to be done after the quarantine ends. Are there things that you need to do for your job, business, or your household soon? Do you have licenses, clearances or registrations that you need to get or renew? Start planning for them now while we still have some time!

Here’s a quick list of ideas based on what I plan to do once the restrictions have been lifted.

First off, make sure to deposit (“cash-in”) enough money in your GCash account. Just use the nearest TouchPay machine, accredited GCash partner, or link your BPI or Unionbank account to deposit funds. Once you’ve added enough, here’s how to pay your bills on the app.
