Overview
Another feature of BPI mobile app that we will discuss today is the money transfer from itself going to Gcash. BPI is one of the facilities that we can use to cash in our Gcash account/e-wallet. But why still need to use Gcash if we can simply use the BPI atm card and mobile app?
Well probably because of two reasons: security and convenience. Isn’t it frightful to use your ATM for online transaction wherein you give your atm card number and CVC (card verification code) for your online transaction to complete? What if you end up in a phishing website? And the next morning you learned that all your hard-earned money was already taken away from you or used extravagantly for online shopping?
Aside from security, e-wallets like Gcash offers convenience in use. You can pay bills directly to Gcash without the need for enrollment first of the merchant or biller. And there are lots more that Gcash has to offer when it comes to online transaction which are not present in BPI or any other banking app system. That’s why they are called e-wallet. Because it is meant mostly for online transaction that involves e-cash.
Now are you excited to use your Gcash for the first time? Let’s start by cashing in or transferring money to it. This post is meant to discuss it using your BPI online banking.
