Using GCash to fund a forex account
GCash is among the methods Philippines traders use to move money in PHP. To fund a broker, you open the cashier, choose GCash, and authorise the transfer; the broker converts it to your account currency (often USD) at its rate. Withdrawals usually return to the same method. Confirm the broker lists GCash, and check any conversion or processing fees before you deposit.
