Send & Receive payments via Paypal in the Philippines


Sign up for Paypal in the Philippines!. You can withdraw an amount not exceeding $500 per month to any debit, credit card or directly into your Philippine bank accounts. You will just need the bank codes and savings account number.

At long last, Paypal’s promise to allow receiving funds into Philippine accounts have been fulfilled. Just today, reports have been circulating in the previous post here about the development.

I did a money transfer from an old and verified Premier account into my new Philippine Paypal account and it works. From the Paypal Help Pages, the Philippine flag is now displayed under “Send. Receive. Withdraw to a U.S. Bank Account or a card.” along with 22 other countries.

The new status allows for: Send and receive payments in these countries. Withdraw from your PayPal account to a U.S. bank account. In addition, withdraw to a credit, debit, or prepaid card in countries marked with a (dagger). No withdrawals from local banks still though. And no cheques too.

I believe this development will further push activity in eBay Philippines as well as enable eBay users to get more secure transactions. The question whether eBay PH will start charging monthly subscriptions is yet to be seen but I suppose that time might have already matured.

It would be very interesting to see how this new development will affect the local e-commerce industry as well as Filipino’s socio-cultural fear of transacting online. I’m sure SMEs will be very happy with this though. Paypal only started allowing Philippine-based accounts about 11 and a half months ago and reports of a rumored full Paypal support were spreading 9 months ago.

So, if anybody wants to donate money to the YugaTech Sponsor-a-Contest campaign, see my Paypal account above. ;)

    ^Just check online through online transactions of your bank. Kung walang online transactions, you can call your bank or you can wait for your bill.

    @celine @ray thanks!

    @anne,

    I think that’s probably the reason why. It should be your account number details not the card number details.

    I hope that solves your problem.

    Come and check my blog at http://www.peoplesinfo.ws/blog where I show tips on making money online.

    @anne,

    Payment and receiving is different from withdrawing money to your bank – ito din inisip ko nun when I started my online business adventure.

    Check mo un paypal bank code ng Philippines on the list provided here http://free-people-search.azulmundial.com/2009/11/29/how-to-withdraw-your-money-from-paypal-to-phillipine-bank/

    @anne,

    I was reading your post regarding yon issues mo with paypal and I would like to say something.

    I have no problems so far with my paypal but yon tungkol sa problema mo I think you probably input wrong account details at yon paypal bank code for unionbank (010419995). For a complete list of Paypals Philippines bank code visit link

    Also try mo narin e scan yon pc mo for any virus of spywares. I use Avast and Malwarebytes for scanning. You might want to try them out.

    @anne: yupp, i emailed paypal’s customer service and nagreply naman. marami raw causes yung nangyaring restriction sa account ko before. pwedeng may nakahack daw ng account ko. so they advised na I change my password at paypal and to verify my account again. Try mo rin contactin sila and I suggest na you check your PC for viruses or spywares. Mahirap na eh. As for me, that solved my dilemma before. :)

    @celine nakapay at receive na ako using my eon account, i just email the paypal customer service yesterday. walang anti virus sa computer pero nakadeep freeze cya. have u tried to contact the paypal customer service? nagresponse cla sau?

  17. Avatar for Anne Anne says:

    @celine nakapagpay at nakapagreceive na ako using my eon account. I dont know my spyware un computer pero nakadeep freeze cya walang anti virus. i just ask na the paypal customer service yesterday. ask ko lang have u tried to contact the paypal customer service? nagreply ba cla?

  18. Avatar for celine celine says:

    @anne: nakapay ka na before using your paypal account? or nakareceive ka na? if so, and ngayon lang talaga nangyari yun sayo, maybe there’s a possibility na may nakaaccess na 3rd party sa account mo. may spyware ba ang pc mo? kasi before, my paypal acct was restricted because of a spyware. You may try consulting din paypal’s customer service, baka nga may nakaaccess sa account mo.

    @celine i already used my Eon Card Before I bought something sa Ebay it work naman pero noon ng withdraw ako there’s problem daw sa bank account info ko. . . i also asked na rin un Unionbank they told me that there is no problem with my bank account information

  20. Avatar for celine celine says:

    @anne: you can check your account number if that’s really the right one. For bank accounts, for instance, if you are using an eon account, the number is the 12-digit one. For credit cards, I think that’s the one with 16 digits. Also provide the bank code. You may refer to your bank’s specifications.

    The reason why your funds were returned to you is because of a wrong bank account info. That happened to me before and so I referred to Union Bank’s guidelines i accordance to Paypal accounts. Either one of the numbers lang yan sa atm card mo. yung 12 or 16 digits. also make sure that you are choosing the right combination. either withdraw to credit card or withdraw to bank account (following the number you provided)
