MANILA, Philippines — Bank transfers will remain free on mobile wallet apps PayMaya and GCash until Oct 31.
“To enable all Filipinos to continue availing of safe and convenient financial transactions, sending money from PayMaya to other banks and e-wallets via InstaPay will continue to remain free until Oct. 31” PayMaya said.
The digital financial services arm of PLDT’s Voyager Innovations said sending money from PayMaya to PayMaya also remains free of charge.
“We encourage our customers to check with their bank or e-Wallet provider for any possible transaction fees when adding money to their PayMaya accounts via InstaPay,” PayMaya said.
“Account holders may also add money for free by linking their BPI account in the app, over the counter via BDO and Ministop stores and in Pera Hub branches nationwide,” it said.
GCash will start charging a bank transfer fee starting Nov. 1.
