Are you having problems with your GCash transfer, cash-in or withdrawal? Instead of ranting about it on social media, you may call the GCash hotline number to get much-needed support and assistance. There are several ways to contact GCash customer service through telephone, email and chat to help resolve any issues you are having.
While GCash is arguably the most popular mobile wallet app in the Philippines, it is not without its share of problems. Some GCash customers complain that their cash transactions take a long time to complete. There are also reports of funds failing to arrive at the recipient’s account as well as errors when logging in or adding money.
But before you pick up the phone to call the GCash hotline, it’s better to consult the GCash Help Center website first. Chances are, you will find the solution to your problem there. Only call the GCash hotline or submit a support ticket if you can’t find the answer in the GCash Help Center.
Keep in mind that GCash phone and chat support are only available during regular business hours from Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. However, you can still submit a support ticket or send an email outside of business hours. GCash customer support usually takes 24-48 hours to respond to emails and tickets.
By the way, GCash no longer accepts inquiries and support requests via Facebook and Messenger. Beware of any Facebook page that pretends to be GCash customer support. Only follow the official GCash page and don’t entertain messages from pages pretending to represent GCash to avoid getting scammed.
GCash will not ask for your MPIN. Anyone who asks for your MPIN is most likely a scammer looking to gain access to your GCash account. Do not give your MPIN for whatever reason, even if the customer support representative asks for it.
