List of Banks with Paypal Withdrawal Fees

Until now, I’m not sure what that Php200 charges most banks deduct from Paypal withdrawals. That’s on top of the Php50 for withdrawals less than Php7,000. And we all thought any amount beyond that would be free of charge.

I relayed this observation to a contact from Paypal in Singapore and was asked to get a list of the banks that makes the additional charges.

Based on my previous entry on Paypal/Bank Exchange Rates, the initial list of banks are as follows:

Banks that charge withdrawal fees:

  • Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI)
  • China Bank
  • Metro Bank (MB)
  • Banco de Oro (BDO)

Banks that do not charge withdrawal fees:

  • Union Bank

If your bank or you know of a bank that makes additional charges, please let me know in the comments. I will then forward this to Paypal for further investigation or clarification.

I’m not actually sure what this Php200 charges are for — it could be some sort of a clearance fee, a transmittal fee or wire fee.

    To smple:

    The Php350 charge of Unionbank is the charge for using their EON Debit Card. That’s a fixed fee per year. I already opened a savings account in BPI and integrated that to my PayPal account. That’s already what I use when I withdraw PayPal funds. PayPal shows the amount (more than Php7k has no fee) and after withdrawing to my BPI account, I noticed that the deduction is around Php100+.

    Does your site have a contact page? I’m having
    trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an email.

    I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
    Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it expand over
    time.

    had this experience too BDO charged P200 i dont know for what it is for..

    • Avatar for Laurie Laurie says:

      Same here. According to forums it’s their wire transfer fee. I was also charged 200, which surprised me, coz I thought withdrawing more than 7000 is free of charge. :(

    I have always withdrawn payment from paypal to Unionbank (EON) an I’m charged Php210 max by paypal. For receiving payments in Unionbank, I don’t notice any fee deducted. Just paypal fees.

      I am using EON card, actually EON gets 350 every year for using their card. Maybe from paypal to EON they are approximate charge (I can’t remember the amout), But I am really sure that EON deduct 350 every year for using it.

I am now looking for other banks that don’t charges a lot and planning to use Metrobank, but unfortunately after searching online I found out that Metrobank charges 200 something, I don’t know If I will continue using EON or try other bank.

    • Avatar for Malou Malou says:

      Yes Smple Union Bank is charging P350 yearly I think that’s their EON account maintenance. EON account has no maintaining balance required that’s why. But when it comes to withdrawing money from Paypal account to your EON account their charge is P50 only. though I’m not sure if this fee is for Paypal or Union Bank.

    • Avatar for Malou Malou says:

      Also, this P50 fee is being charged only if you withdraw below P7,000 from your paypal account. So, if you get over P7000 no charges will be deducted from you.

    I tried withdrawing to my Allied Bank ABC (Allied Bank Cash) Card before and there was indeed a charge of more/less 200 pesos. Now I am wondering if I will do that again. I am afraid that if I withdraw a bigger amount, they might also charge higher?
