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.

Paypal Philippines

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.

Send Paypal

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. ;)

    Try to verify your Paypal account first. You can acquire Smartmoney card for only 30 pesos tapos gamitin mo to get verified.

    Hi again,

    As per your advice I got a smart sim and applied for a smart money card and used it to verify my paypal, but I got this message:

    “We were unable to verify this credit card. Please check if the information you entered is correct. If the problem persists, please try to enter a different credit card.”

    I’m sure I followed the procedure correctly, I was able to unlock the smart money card for internet use and even got sms confirmations. I also got an sms that P45.22 was deducted from my smart money for purchase at PAYPAL merchant. But I didn’t get the EXPUSE number to confirm my card in Paypal. I did this twice, so twice din ako nabawasan ng P45.22 but I keep getting the same message:

    “We were unable to verify this credit card. Please check if the information you entered is correct. If the problem persists, please try to enter a different credit card.”

    and still no EXPUSE number. What happened?? Please help! Parang lumalaki na gastos ko just to get to my Paypal balance :( Thanks!!!

    help! pwede ba talaga or hindi pwede ung bdo debit card?

    i also earned a couple hundred dollars and it’s now sitting in paypal cyberspace. sabi kase sakin at first pwede daw sa bdo, and then I call BDO and theyre telling me na theyre not associated with Paypal and it cannot be linked, kahit daw cc. Grr! All the trouble I had to go to.

    So is it okay that I keep receiving Paypal funds kahit unverified? Magiging $500 na sha soon. What to do??? :(

  4. @barbied,

    BDO doesn’t link your paypal. Ang alam ko Union Bank ang pwedi mong ma link up using their Eon card. Kumuha ka nalang nito, 350 pesos lang.

    You can also ask the author of this site to exchange your paypal earnings to cash..

    I finally did it! Got my paypal verified and got my money!

    First, I bought a smart sim (P45) and applied for a smart money card (P120). Then I used the smart money card to verify my paypal (you’ll need about P150 smart money load for paypal verification, and P10 smart phone load for the transaction). Note: if it doesn’t work in your first try, re-register/activate your smart money card via the smart menu in your cel…that’s what I did :)

    After I verified my paypal, I withdrew my balance to my BDO bank account and got my money (less P250 charges) after 3 days :)

    Do this if you want to verify paypal fast and dont mind the extra charges…read somewhere that using the eon card is the cheapest in terms of withdrawal charges. But I also read that there are cons such as long wait for eon application, eon card annual fees, etc.

    Hope this helps :)

    @lyan: You need to have verified your PayPal account para ma-withdraw mo yung account mo. You need to have a credit card and dapat yun din ang nakapangalan sa PayPal account mo.
    May I recommend that next time you want to send money to the Philippines, you can try out http://www.buyregalo.com They are also using PayPal and they can directly do a bank-to-bank transfer.

    Hello! How do you transfer funds to your paypal account from your bank account? Let’s say from BDO to paypal.

    So far, we used our credit card registered with paypal buying online, now we want to try using paypal funds directly.

    Does anybody here know how to ‘load’ a paypal account?

    Would you be able to send me an email with how you
    manage to do that.

    I was able to write a guide on how to withdraw money from paypal using eon card, perhaps you could write one too.

    Thanks..
