How do you prove that a transaction is successful? It always boils down to proof of purchase with a receipt number. And for Gcash, it would be the Gcash reference number.
A Gcash reference number is a unique identifier or code for every successful Gcash transaction.
Gcash Reference Number Sample: Ref. No. 1001 543 610110
For every successful transaction, you will be directed to the confirmation page. In addition, you will receive an email and a text message that include the details of the transaction. Information includes the amount, type of transaction (transfers, payments, etc.), date, and reference number.
The 13-digit code can also be found in the transaction history. Follow the instructions below:
Step 1. On the dashboard, tap on TRANSACTIONS at the bottom of the dashboard.
Step 2. Click on the details of the specific transaction you want to check.
Step 3. You will see all the information in relation to the transaction, including the date and reference number.
The 13-digit code is used as a reference for the payment or transfer. Bottom line: it serves as a reference for accounting purposes.
In addition, this comes in handy whenever you run into a problem with the process. One example is when you have not received the amount someone else transferred to your account. When you report the incident to the Gcash help center, it’ll be easier for them to track the specific activity with your Gcash registered mobile number and reference number.
Some people might interchange and find Gcash and remittance reference numbers confusing.
To clarify further, the remittance number is automatically generated from the sender’s end. Before attempting to cash in, ensure you have the number to complete the cash-in process.
Bottom line: You can be sure that the transaction was successful once you receive the reference number, either in the form of a text message or sent to your email.
