If you wanted to activate your Maya Virtual card inside your account and you do not have enough balance, then, you need to cash in. For this post, I will send money from my GCash account to my Maya account. Yes! You can do that. But you cannot cash in directly inside your Maya account using GCash, that option is nowhere to found. Good to know that inside GCash you can easily send money to your Maya account using Transfer via InstaPay method.


Requirements for the cash in

  • If you are going to cash in P100, then, you need extra P15 for the transfer fee via InstaPay.
  • Verified GCash account with enough funds
  • Verified or upgraded Maya account

If you have all the listed requirements above, then continue doing the tutorial below.
