Thanks very much for that computer/money vlog, Gio. (Not ever having done cell-phone banking, all that was way above my head). Gio, you are light-years ahead of me in that computer stuff.
Very valuable information here...I've had Wise since 2020 and recently installed G-cash on my phone. Learning another transfer method helps a lot. Thanks Gio!
Great video Gio! Glad you decided to do it, I had no idea GCash was so versatile. Been here and visiting for years and hadn't really thought about GCash until this video. 😀
thank you so much for this. So many times my filipinas are asking to go through Gcash but i have no clue on how to do this. Your information is valuable. thank you again and keep up the videos
Thank you for this informative video Gio. I will be traveling to Cebu at the end of January and I was wondering how the wise and g-cash works together.
😊 I went through about eight videos before I got to somebody who speaks English. I know it's a big world with multi-languages but the algorithm should send English to me in New York United States. Thank you for your video I think it should be ranked higher on the list. Good luck with your channel
If you are living here in The Philippines, I recommend you open a local bank account. So If or when natural disaster hits where ATMs and internet are down and not working,,., You go to your local bank and withdraw your pesos as needed.
@@GiointhePhilippines >< I didn't say anything about closing accounts in home country, I'm using US debit at local ATMs on a regular basis, but putting extra Pesos in my local bank accounts.
Great video Gio. Could you perhaps do a video on how to set up a Skype phone number so that you can use it when you’re in the Philippines and need to verify your identity to banks back in the US and other businesses? Keep up the great work. Kurt
I have been using Remitly to send money to my GF in the Philippines. But the fees are high. I sent $200 yesterday for Christmas presents for the kids but she got 10,712 pesos. That’s 53.56 pesos to the dollar. I do like that it’s instantly available to her. I use my debit card to fund the transfer and she gets it within 1 minute
Thanks Gio. Really helpful for this noob :). I did have one snag where I didn't have the E- Wallet option and it was because my Wize account wasn't funded. Once I fully funded my Wise account I had the E-Wallet option and could send money over to gcash . Makes sense. Also, my interface looked a little different where I didn't put in the Country Code but just my 11 digit phone number for the account number. Probably something I did. Anyway, thanks for putting this video up. I for sure appreciate it.
I have been traveling through the EU now Asia and it's really difficult to get and use cash. All the info, documents, questions, forms. If only Bitcoin was more widely adopted. Instant per to per payment, 24/7 no banks, no questions. Pure sovereignty, we deserve it we should demand it.
I have lived here for 11 years. I just express send from my U.S. Bank, wife picks it up at BDO, done. Can do all that via my bank and the CC with that bank. Not sure why you would need Wise either but still, a good video. Well done.
When funding with a U.S. checking account or debit card, does it flag your transfer because it knows you are in another country? I know a lot of U.S. banks do not like servicing customers that live overseas. Thanks for the info.
John T, Good observation on your part... looks to me like Wise is a "clearing house".... US banks recognize Wise as an "American bank". Once you transferer money to Wise you can move your money to foreign accounts or other payment systems. At least that is my understanding.
@@ericlee2931 I guess you have to pay a fee to move money into wise and then another fee to move your money to the Philippines account. How are the fees pn both sides, flat fee or depending on the amount of money you move?
You did not explain how to set up an account the process. You have to go through online by showing your. IDS whether it's a passport for Phil health or valid idea in the Philippines taking a selfie and waiting for a verification for texts approval you. Cannot load or send money into your verified. You? Did not talk about that step my friend?
You mentioned a Philippine phone number is required but what about the address they ask for? Can that be my home address in the USA or must it also be a Philippines address?
Very good info. One question, would having a dual SIM phone allow you to receive text notifications from your US institution's or would you have to toggle between the Phil's number and US number. Been watching about Magic Jack's APP which allows the US number to function overseas, say if there was a question about the Wise transportation's. Thanks, very informative video!
I love this video Great vlog However, I suck setting that up or I personally hate the process of setting it up When I return to PH or before I arrive to PH next long term stay I'll debate doing it
Hello Gio… LOVE your videos! You use Wise as your secondary method to get money in the Philippines. What is your #1 primary way to get money in the Philippines?
@@GiointhePhilippines OK - you use USAA, I have that as well. Where do you send USAA cash “to”… to get physical Philippines Peso into your pocket? GCash? and/or a Philippines bank? Or can I just use my USAA debit card to pull PHP out, without fees?
I transfer money from my U.S. bank account to Gcash all the time using remitly with no fees charged. Why would I use or need Wise? Also, the transfer happens in seconds not minutes or hours.
Ive found it cheaper and faster to fund or add money to my wise account and then send it to the recipient or myself. Simply click on the currency of your choice, in my case its USD and select add. This will load money to your wise account for pennies. When you go to transfer it to the other person or yourself the fee is less than what you would pay for an ACH or Debit transfer from your bank and it will transfer the money much quicker from my experience.
Alex D, I think I like your technique. My US credit card offers free cash advance if paid before the billing cycle ends. Seems like I could use my credit card to fund my Wise account for free, But I would still be charged a fee from Wise, would that still be pennies? With Gios example fees total $1.36 to move money from his US account. to Wise, then to Gcash... Your method seems to suggest that that I "prefund" my Wise account and transfer the money later? Gios is charged $1.36, How much less would you guess the fees would be If I just prefunded and used the money later? Apparently its cheaper to carry a Wise account balance and transfer from that balance as needed.
You didn't mention required ID. I have haven't got a GCash account but my girlfriend does. When she was setting it up she was required to take a photo of her ID and there were only certain ones accepted.
I have a SRRV and ARC card but what I don't like is they want access to my contacts and files. They don't need access to my personal files. That's why I don't use GCash.
Thanks Gio for the info. Successful setup and account with a PH sim purchased for me by my Filipina in Davao. I will be making my first trip to PH in April 2024. I will be there for whole month. Question I can’t fully verify due to lack of an ACR card. So I have basic verification. Please explain the limitations of this level. I am familiar with the wise portion. I have use wise many times to send money to my fiancee. Thanks
There are dual sims, which I know very little, you'll have to research it. But what I did was on my second day there, I went to the mall and bought a cheap phone, they set it up for me, load , PH phone number etc and I was a Happy camper lol. I've used it for my last 3 visits to PH. I just get new number, load etc ( old number expires, not used/ expiration)
Gio...thank you so much for the great information. I have Wise setup and my fidelity account I received a debit card. Do you think I would need anything else?
One? Thing. I was confused about? I used my video account but it wants to send money 2. My bank account from my g cash or I can go how somehow use it online log into my online. But I guess it might be a good way to do what you're doing. I did not know about this option the wise. I don't even know what that is until you said something about it. But I hate using my bank account information on cheese cache.
Then I take it it’s like a gift card when you go to the store or where ever you hopefully have A balance remaining? Also they scan your phone to pay the bill is that right? And is the sky the limit as far as how much money you can deposit into your account thank you
If I get a PH (smart or globe) eSIM, will I be able to setup a GCash and/or Maya from US before going to PH? I don’t want to be stuck setting things up while I’m there
Do you really need GCASH in Phil ? It seems that everything can be done with a WISE account and WISE ATM card which can hold amounts in pesos and then use those pesos to buy things either in cash or using the card. Can also transfer money etc. So I don’t see what GCASH gives me other than a secondary way of payment in case I lose the WISE card . Am I missing something?
@@GiointhePhilippines Maybe something for another video is having an offshore bank account and using it to invest in funds or stocks which pay dividends which can be received offshore tax free. For example HSBC does an xpat account which allows investments in Luxembourg which pay dividends with no tax liability etc
You can send PHP to any individual and business bank accounts in Philippines. You can also send to PayMaya and GCash mobile wallets.

Interesting. Appreciate the information. Would you recommend this for a 6 wk trip to the Phillipines?
Gcash isn't necessary but Wise is good for a back up source of getting money.
What if you need to pay thousands of dollars to a doctor or dentist ? Can you use Gcash and Wise ?
100K monthly if verified user. I think 500K w/ link bank account or business

Been watching about Magic Jack's APP which allows the US number to function overseas, say if there was a question about the Wise transportation's. Thanks, very informative video!

Super Awesome video Gio! Thanks so very much 😊
My pleasure!!
Which one is more convenient:
Gcash or Maya.
You forgot the "Send money" (aka G-cash to Wise) part.
p.s.: its impossible unless you get approved by wise to partake in their PHP beta program
With gcash you can order a gcash debit card then use ATM's to get cash.
Yes
If we have a WISE debit card, why not just use that rather than the GCash ATM card?
So the fee to fund p500 into GCash is something like 10%? Or is it a fixed amount?
No it's really low
i love G-cash
Do Wise have a service fee, how much?
Depending on amount sent
did you have to verify your ID before using Gcash ?
Yes
@@GiointhePhilippines
In your video you mentioned just put your address in
I forgot to mention that you have to upload a copy of your ID
Kuya Gio, is there any workaround on making funds through vice-versa (GCash to Wise)?
I don't think so
One? Thing. I was confused about? I used my video account but it wants to send money 2. My bank account from my g cash or I can go how somehow use it online log into my online. But I guess it might be a good way to do what you're doing. I did not know about this option the wise. I don't even know what that is until you said something about it.

Yes
@@GiointhePhilippines great . Can you kindly explain how we can send from Gcash back to Wise ?
Awesome
I have a gcash account but Wise is not on my list of global partners
It doesn't need to be, the transfer is from Wise to Gcash
Thank you my friend for the information. How's the scrub to your channel very nice
Also can you show us the steps it takes to get sign up? I have a Philippines number, but I live in the Caribbean
Sure
Then I take it it’s like a gift card when you go to the store or where ever you hopefully have
A balance remaining? Also they scan your phone to pay the bill is that right? And is the sky the limit as far as how much money you can deposit into your account thank you
Yes, correct
Going to Moalboal.
Have you been?
Do you have accommodations recommendation
I like Holiday Cottages.
Can I use paypal instead of wise?
Unfortunately not.
What is a Wise account ?
An account allowing money transfers
If I get a PH (smart or globe) eSIM, will I be able to setup a GCash and/or Maya from US before going to PH? I don’t want to be stuck setting things up while I’m there
question, are you sending this fund while you are in the US?
Do you really need GCASH in Phil ? It seems that everything can be done with a WISE account and WISE ATM card which can hold amounts in pesos and then use those pesos to buy things either in cash or using the card. Can also transfer money etc. So I don’t see what GCASH gives me other than a secondary way of payment in case I lose the WISE card . Am I missing something?
You don't necessarily need it.
