What follows treats Over-the-Counter Cash Agents as a payment method: the operator behind them, the licence they hold, and what they publish on limits and fees.
Over-the-Counter Cash Agents, briefly
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Operated by | A set of independently owned, separately BSP-accredited agent networks handles this, not one operator — Cebuana Lhuillier, M Lhuillier, Palawan Pawnshop, and Philippine Seven Corporation’s CliQQ counters in 7-Eleven among them, each contracted on its own by individual wallets and billers |
| Regulated by | Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas |
| Wallet limit | Not applicable to this rail |
| Per-transaction cap | Not applicable to this rail |
| Settlement | right away and face-to-face for cash at the counter, whereas the linked wallet’s credit can take from a few minutes to a full day, depending on which institution receives it |
| Published fees | Not published |
No rail exists here, so no rail-wide fee applies either; each agent network and each receiving wallet sets its own rate instead. This OTC schedule — free up to PHP 8,000, then 2 per cent beyond — belongs to GCash alone, not to Cebuana Lhuillier, M Lhuillier, or Palawan, none of which publishes a comparable schedule for consumers.
Everything quoted here is a snapshot taken in 2026-09. Limits and fees get revised without announcement, and only the provider’s own page carries the current version.
Verification tiers
Nothing published sets out verification tiers for Over-the-Counter Cash Agents, so the section carries none. Regulated Philippine e-money accounts expect identity verification all the same, and an unverified account is usually why a limit reads lower than you expected.
Across these networks, no tier system exists for consumers. A covered transaction under the Anti-Money Laundering Act is a cash transaction above PHP 500,000, which obliges a mandatory report, and by virtue of BSP Circular No. 1230 of February 2026 the enhanced due diligence trigger for cash withdrawals was raised from that same PHP 500,000 to PHP 1,000,000. These obligations fall on the institution to report, not on the customer to obey a limit, and they cover BSP-supervised institutions broadly, not cash agents in particular.
