GCash Relaunch with the new GCash mobile app

The first time I “met” Gcash was when I started to buy in eBay late 2011. I discovered the fun in bargain shopping with the ebay finds. I had no problem paying through bank accounts . My problem started when the vendor asked only Gcash for payment method. I thought it was too much trouble, loading my Globe phone with cash before I can send virtual cash to the vendor. I must thank Charo Logarta for making me change my attitude towards Gcash. Since then, I use it to pay for my online shopping needs.

What I loved about Gcash is that it encourages micro-enterprises. Not everyone can afford the huge fees that credit card charges the vendors or even that of Paypal. I also found out that I can link my BPI account so I can load directly from the bank to my Gcash. You can read more about how to start with Gcash at http://globe.com.ph/gcash
