In today’s digital age, Filipinos are increasingly relying on mobile wallets like GCash for everyday transactions.
Transferring money from your Landbank account to GCash is a convenient way to top up your wallet and gain access to various online and offline services.
This article outlines the two main methods for transferring funds from Landbank to GCash: via Landbank Online Banking and InstaPay.
Transfer Money From Landbank to GCash

Important Considerations
- Transfer Fees: Landbank charges a fee for both methods. The fee may vary depending on the transfer amount. You can check the Landbank website or inquire at a branch for the latest transfer fee schedule.
- Transfer Limits: Landbank imposes daily and cumulative transfer limits for online banking and InstaPay transactions. Check the Landbank website or your online banking account for the current limits.
- Transaction Processing Time: Transfers via Landbank Online Banking typically reflect in the recipient’s GCash wallet within minutes. InstaPay transfers processed at a branch may take up to 2 business days to reflect, depending on the processing time of both banks.
- Security: Always make sure you are on the official Landbank website when making online banking transactions. Beware of phishing attempts and do not share your login credentials with others.
Tips for a Smooth Transfer
- Double-check recipient details: Ensure the GCash registered mobile number and recipient name are accurate before submitting the transfer.
- Review transfer limits: Be aware of the daily and cumulative transfer limits to avoid encountering issues during the transaction.
- Maintain a good internet connection: If transferring online, a stable internet connection is crucial for a smooth transaction process.
- Save transaction receipts: Keep a copy of the transaction slip (for branch transfers) or a screenshot of the confirmation page (for online transfers) for future reference.
