Learn how to avoid paying the 1% Cash in Fee when funding your ShopeePay wallet.
ShopeePay Cash in Fee. If you are fond of using ShopeePay to pay off your Shopee purchases, chances are you already knew about Shopee’s new Admin Fee. The additional cost is imposed for all cash-in transactions using digital wallets such as Gcash or Coins.ph.
I was aware of the new admin fee when I recently cashed in my ShopeePay wallet for P1,100.00. My Gcash balance was deducted P1,111,00. That’s an additional P11.00, equivalent to 1% of the principal amount of P1,100.00 (1% X P1,100).
However, there are still ways to get away with the ShopeePay Cash in Fee. You can link a bank account to your ShopeePay wallet or cash in via InstaPay.
