- Enter the amount in pesos, within InstaPay's ₱50,000 per-transaction and ₱500,000 per-day caps.
- Confirm and let the payout desk approve it; repeat cashouts clear in minutes, first or large ones in up to about 3 hours at peak.
- Receive the funds in GCash over the 24/7 InstaPay rail, no BUENAS888 cashout fee.
Cashout speed, caps & fees by method
All figures are in Philippine pesos and assume your KYC is cleared and the payout approved. GCash, Maya and GoTyme all settle over InstaPay, so the caps are shared:
| Method | Speed | Caps | Wallet-side fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| GCash | Minutes to ~1 hr (up to 3h first/peak) | ₱50k/txn · ₱500k/day | Cash-in free to ₱8,000/mo, then ~2% |
| Maya | Minutes to a few hours | ₱50k/txn · ₱500k/day | ~₱15 per outbound InstaPay |
| GoTyme | Real-time to a few hours | ₱50k/txn · ₱500k/day | Free InstaPay transfers |
| PESONet | Same or next banking day | No fixed per-txn cap | Better for larger-than-InstaPay sums |
Depositing with GCash
Deposits are the easy half. The minimum GCash deposit is ₱50, the daily deposit limit is ₱100,000, and top-ups reflect in your balance within seconds. One thing to plan around: GCash and its InstaPay rail run a nightly maintenance window from roughly 12:00 to 03:00 PHT, when transfers can be briefly delayed.
- Open the cashier, choose Deposit, then GCash.
- Enter any amount from ₱50 up to your ₱100,000 daily limit.
- Approve the payment in the GCash app; your BUENAS888 balance updates in seconds.
- For sums above InstaPay's caps, use PESONet or a bank transfer instead.
