Understanding Cash In Fee Changes
Under the updated policy, Bookbind applies a 1.5% cash in fee when funding your Bookbind wallet through GCash. This replaces the previous promotional 0% fee, aligning with sustainable service costs and improved features.
The fee is automatically calculated at the time of transaction, so you will see the exact deduction before you confirm. If you frequently move funds from GCash, it is helpful to factor this into your budgeting to avoid surprises.
Cash Out Fee Structure
Cash out fee structure has been adjusted to differentiate between low and high value withdrawals. For amounts below 1000 PHP per transaction, a higher 2% fee is applied, while amounts at or above this threshold follow a lower percentage-based schedule.
This structure encourages larger consolidated withdrawals when possible, which can reduce the relative impact of fees on your overall balance.
Transaction Limits and Verification
To support security and compliance, daily cash in limits have been reduced to 15000 PHP. Weekly and monthly limits may also apply based on your account tier and verification status.
If you need higher limits, completing additional verification steps in your Bookbind profile can raise your thresholds and restore more flexibility for GCash cash in cash out activity.
