Starting 1st March, the ' BPI is going to charge you 10 bucks for transferring shells to your @pinoy :mastofacepalm:

@gowin LOL.

They're charging to #GCash, but not #Maya?

Is this a sign that the Ayala Group silently sold off their shares with G-Xchange, Inc.?

Or, the conglomerate is starting to feel an impact because GCash decided to block phones with enabled:
1. Sideloading (which many brands and models have enabled by default, and no way to turn-off (like the Oppo model I have).
2. Dev options

They actually added another st*pidity, citing “security” again:

* You can only use GCash on the device where the correct SIM card is loaded. /facepalm

Solution: Charge transfers from BPI to GCash so their first quarterly report will look pretty in the eyes of their non-techie board members and investors. To cover the decline in usage; and their silly “blame the users for security issues, not our system”.

ROFL.

GXI is now a mere subsidiary of the Mynt brand (aka Globe Fintech Innovations, Inc), which seems to be the holding company for by Ayala Corp.?

Isn't Gcash still the preferred for most people/merchants in the ?

I don't know, since I don't have one, and have always used BPI to pay/transfer to Gcash

The improved cross-wallet accessibility, but it's still annoying to encounter merchants not familiar with it.
