Why do we have wallet and transaction limits?
As part of GCash's compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001 mandated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), GCash has set limits on wallet balance and transaction amounts in order to protect users from financial institutions being abused through money obtained from illegal sources (drugs, smuggling, arms dealing).
What will happen to my wallet and transaction limits if I have multiple accounts?
Your transaction limit will remain the same even if you have multiple accounts.
GCash consolidates multiple accounts (that are identified to have one user) into one wallet.
For example, if you have a fully verified Account, it should have an accumulated wallet limit of P100,000.
Note: Your wallet and transaction limits depend on which level of verification you have.
