Being a work-at-home
professional is the best thing that happened to me. It gave me an opportunity
to work at the comforts of our home while avoiding the stress of the daily
commute. Though freelancing has gained popularity over the years, still I am
often asked, “How do you get paid?” There are actually a lot of payment
options available for online workers but I prefer GCASH for many reasons including
its latest feature, Instapay to Bank*.
GCASH is like a
"central unit" for all my payment/ financial transactions. It can be
readily used for online and in-store purchases, I can make withdrawals through
my GCASH Mastercard, and I can readily transfer funds to my bank account.
Instapay to Bank allows users to deposit/ transfer funds without
any additional cost to over 30 partner banks nationwide. A transaction can be
completed in just 2-3 minutes. I bet you heard stories about people lining up
inside the bank for 4-5 hours just to make a deposit. So, this option is
truly a life-saver especially for online workers like me who rarely go out to
complete errands or to people who are really busy and do not have the luxury of
time to queue.
Let me share a recent
transaction I had from one of my clients who usually pays me through bank
deposit but this time, we opted for GCASH instead.
After I said yes and in
just a few minutes, she sent me another message telling me to check my GCASH
account.
Since I want to add
these funds to my savings account. I immediately transferred it to my bank
account and it is possible in just four (4) easy steps:
1. Open your GCASH
account and login.
2. Select "Bank
Transfer"
3. Select "Partner
Bank." Currently, the service is available to 37 partner banks nationwide.
In my case, I opted for BPI.
4. Enter details such as
account number and account name. Adding the email address is just optional then
click "Send money."
And you're done! You can
expect to receive a confirmation message that looks like this.
So, it's very easy and please
check my last screenshot, I was able to make this banking transaction at 8:24
PM. How cool is that?
Imagine the
possibilities of you paying your online suppliers anytime or scenarios where you
forgot to send your kid’s allowance or simply you had a busy day and had no
time to go to the bank.
So, what are you waiting
