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. ;)

    I’m trying to link my paypal account to one of my local bank accounts. Question, what is “Bank Code”? Is this the same as swift code? The swift code has only 8 digits. The Bank Code field requires 9 digits. So, where do we get the Bank Code?

    @nonoy,

    As far as I know you can’t be able to put Paypal funds from any Philippine bank. What I do is bumibili ako ng Paypal from a trusted source. Contact mo lang yon author ng site na ito http://hiwayparkcomputers.blogspot.com – he can help you out to put funds to your paypal.

    Hope this helps… :)

    @Mimi,

    I don’t think they’ll refund the money. Pero try to send them an email telling them about your situation para sila mismo will check it.

    500usd= another keep them poor plan.

    Only $500 can be transferred to your bank account from paypal every month? I kinda confused. In other words you’ll get 0% of your income exceeding 500USD monthly? To open a Paypal you need a VISA,or Mastercard, doesn’t this cost a deposit of like 100thousand pesos in BDO?
    This doesn’t sound like a good option for a SME unless you can get a paypal credit card and then get the benefit of using it for withdraw in all Philippine ATM’s. Please reply if anyone here got any experience with this. I am currenty selling online in Europe and since I am planing to move back to The Philippines I am desperately in need of a way to withdraw more than 25thousand per month.. I want to be able to withdraw everything that I earn and whenever I need it.
