As announced today, they have clarified that you can still send/transfer funds/money through the “Transfer to other banks” feature via Instapay with a service charge amounting to PHP25 for GCash and Maya.

Although both BPI and GCash are part of the Ayala Company Group, BPI has its own e-wallet app which they call the “VYBE”.

For those who are unfamiliar with the VYBE, BPI introduced its e-wallet in 2022. With its capabilities, you may make rapid, safe, and cashless daily payments.
