What Is Gcash Account ID?
Before knowing how to verify Gcash completely, we should know what is Gcash, so let me give you some information about Gcash in short. Gcash, like other bank accounts, has a unique number associated with each account. Each customer is assigned a unique account number and linked to their Gcash account. When you start the app for the first time, you will see your Gcash account number or ID. You can also access it by clicking on the three dashes (menu) in the top left corner of the dashboard. When you tap on the menu icon, your account will appear under your name.
Features of a Fully Verified GCash Account
Once you register with GCash, you will be able to unlock its basic features such as Offline Cash-in, Pay Bills, Buy Load, AMEX Virtual Pay, and Pay QR. While a fully verified GCash account will give you access to all features and services GCash has to offer.
The following are all the features you will be able to access with a fully verified GCash Account:
- Offline Cash-in
- Pay Bills
- Buy Load
- AMEX Virtual Pay
- Pay QR
- GCash Mastercard

Other than the abovementioned features, a fully verified GCash account also has an added layer of security that makes it sure that only you can access and make transactions using your GCash wallet.
How to fully verify Gcash?
You can use all of GCash's features and services after verifying your account. Here is how to get it fully verified.
1. Open your GCash app. You need to have already created a GCash account by this point. If not, you can easily create one using your number in under a minute!
2. Tap the menu and select the “Verify Now”.
3. Tap the “Get Fully Verified” button.
4. Next, choose your valid ID. Ideally GCash recommends valid IDs such as Driver’s License, Passport and UMID. If you don’t have any of these, just make sure it’s a government-issued ID.
5. Take a photo of your valid ID. Make sure it’s clear and well-lit.
6. Next, you’ll take a selfie and position your face within the frame. Make sure that it’s not blurry and it’s also well-lit.
7. Then, you’ll just need to review the information you provided and then tap the confirmation of the Terms and Conditions. Then, tap “Confirm” and you’re done!
How many days to get verified on Gcash?
Your free GCash account will be marked as "Fully Verified" for 90 days after you supply the information. To keep this status, you must update your GCash details in the app. If the GCash information isn't completed within 90 days, your account status will change from "Fully Verified" to "Basic."
