• What would be the possible downside if I don't get KYC'ed?
If you opt not to get KYC'ed, we will have to limit your access to GCASH as required by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas from March 11, 2013 onwards.

• You will not be able to send GCASH using your mobile phone to another GCASH-registered mobile number.
• You will not be able to do Cash-In to Self or Cash-Out transactions.
• Can I have more than one mobile number under my name, even if the other numbers are used by others such as my family members?
Yes, you may have more than one mobile number under your name. However, please note that these mobile numbers will share your wallet limit of P100, 000. You will not have a different wallet limit for each. You will need to bring those SIMs with you when you sign up for Know Your Customer.
• I have multiple accounts with Globe (both Postpaid and Prepaid) and I am the one using all of them; do I need to register all my accounts to the new Know Your Customer registration?
Yes, you need to visit the nearest KYC outlet to link all your SIMs registered to GCASH to your Customer Profile.
• Can I remove a mobile number under my customer profile?
Yes, you may remove a mobile number. To do this, simply visit any of the GCASH authorized Know Your Customer outlets.
• Can I change my personal details?
Yes, you may change your personal details at any of the GCASH authorized Know Your Customer outlets. Simply present any VALID document/s or ID to confirm any change.

(Ex: to change your surname after getting married, please present your marriage certificate.)
• Can I transfer ownership of a mobile number to another person?
Yes, you may transfer ownership of a mobile number. However, the person you are transferring it to will have to sign up for Know Your Customer as well before the number is linked to his/her name.
• I have multiple accounts with Globe, should I have one MPIN for all my accounts or should it be one MPIN for each account? Will this apply to all my accounts for Postpaid and Prepaid?
We recommend that you have different MPINs per GCASH account.
• What if my registration details are different from the details I submitted to the GCASH Know Your Customer outlet? Which one will be used?
The personal details you submitted to the GCASH Know Your Customer outlet will override the details you keyed-in during your registration to GCASH using the menu, *143# or the Mobile App as long as it is supported by a VALID ID.
