How to Transfer Money From UnionBank to GCash

Learn how to transfer money from UniBank to GCash account.

Mobile wallets like GCash make paying easier since they don’t require cash. Online banking is one of the top-up options available for your GCash wallet. In this article, I’ll show you how to transfer money from UnionBank to GCash, one of the most popular ways to top up your GCash wallet.

As the “best digital bank” in the Philippines for three straight years, UnionBank is considered the country’s premier online bank. It is actually possible to open a UnionBank account using only your smartphone. UnionBank is also one of the best banks for PayPal. Over the past decade, I have rarely encountered problems withdrawing money from PayPal using my UnionBank EON account.

Since recently, I’ve started transferring money to my GCash wallet through Unionbank. Through the GCash app, UnionBank customers can directly cash out. By using this method, you can transfer funds faster and easier than logging into the UnionBank mobile app or website.

Although you can still transfer money to GCash using the UnionBank app or website, direct fund transfers on the GCash app are much more convenient. This is because you don’t have to log in with your password, enter the OTP, or input recipient information. As soon as you link your UnionBank account with GCash, direct cash-ins are available.

UnionBank accounts can be used to transfer money to anyone with a GCash wallet. Additionally, you can use it to top up your own GCash account, send money to a friend, pay for purchases online, and donate to a charity.
