No, you can't send US dollars to GCash yet since GCash doesn't support USD-PHP conversions at all. That's because the app is denominated in Philippine pesos and isn't yet able to support US dollar deposits. Fortunately, there are quick, easy, and super-affordable solutions! We delve into them below:

A digital money transfer service is the best way to send money to GCash. GCash accepts international transfers from two excellent money transfer platforms, Remitly and Skrill. Unlike banks and online payment systems like PayPal, money transfer specialists offer low fixed fees and transparent exchange rates for remittances to the Philippines.

Remitly is only available on GCash for remittances from the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, Singapore, Italy and the Netherlands. You can send money to GCash with Skrill from Europe, the USA, and Australia.

If you're sending money from countries not listed above, then we recommend you run a search with Monito's comparison engine to find a money transfer service for a cheap bank transfer remittance to the Philippines.

To get started, sign up for WorldRemit, Remitly, or Skrill (the process is usually quick, easy, and free) and choose GCash as your delivery destination. Enter your recipient's mobile number and name as registered under GCash and confirm your transfer. The delivery is usually instantaneous!
