PayMaya and GCash are two of the most popular online wallets in the Philippines. They have similar functions and features like bank transfers and online payment.
When I first started using online wallets, I didn’t know I could send money from PayMaya to Gcash and vice versa. I mistakenly thought that because they are competitors, backed by competing telcos — Globe for GCash and Smart for PayMaya — it would not be possible to make cross-transactions. Hence, I used to exclusively rely on GCash to send money to a GCash account and PayMaya to a PayMaya account. It turns out that it is entirely possible through their bank transfer option.
In this post, we’ll show you how you can send money to a GCash account using your PayMaya. To be able to do this, make sure that your PayMaya account is verified. If it’s not, you can check our post on how you can verify your PayMaya account.
