Disclaimer: This is NOT a promoted or paid post. A few people asked me how they can pay for stuff online but they didn’t have a debit or credit card, so I did some research and found out about GCash. I decided to try it myself and write about it here.

I don’t know about you, but I hate waiting in line. If I need to pay bills or send money, I have to walk all the way to a Bayad Center branch or a service provider’s store, grab a form and write on it, and spend a long time waiting behind a dozen or so people all paying their bills and stuff. When I need to buy some prepaid load, I have to look for a shop that sells it, pay for the load PLUS a small fee. It’s really such a hassle.

Thankfully, there’s an easier and FASTER way to do all that. No need to wait in line. If I need to pay bills, buy load, or send money, I can do it at home or while I’m sitting around in a coffee shop reading. Ever since I started my GCash account, I used it to pay our family’s bills, my SSS contributions, and buy prepaid load. Since there’s usually no line at the TouchPay machine, I just add money to my GCash account whenever I need to pay for something later on.

If you want to pay bills, send and receive money, buy load, shop online, and do a lot of other stuff from the comfort of your own home using just your smartphone or tablet, then read this guide to learn how to use GCash!
