Published feesNot published

Each agent network sets its own rate, as does each receiving wallet, which is why no rail-wide fee applies — there’s no rail to attach one to. GCash alone charges this OTC schedule — no fee to PHP 8,000, 2 per cent after — and it shouldn’t be credited to Cebuana Lhuillier, M Lhuillier or Palawan, none of whom publish a matching consumer schedule.

What’s shown here was locked in at a single moment — 2026-09 — and won’t be refreshed. The provider’s own page stands alone as the current source, since payment providers alter limits and fees without notice.

Verification tiers

Over-the-Counter Cash Agents’ verification tiers stay unlisted here, since nothing published on them could be sourced. A lower-than-expected limit on a regulated Philippine e-money account usually means one thing: identity verification, still standard there, was never completed.

A consumer-facing tier system is absent across these networks. The enhanced due diligence trigger for cash withdrawals now stands at PHP 1,000,000, raised from PHP 500,000 by BSP Circular No. 1230 of February 2026, alongside the Anti-Money Laundering Act’s own PHP 500,000 threshold that makes a cash transaction a covered transaction demanding a mandatory report. Institutions, not customers, carry these reporting obligations, which apply generally to BSP-supervised institutions rather than cash agents alone.
