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. ;)

    hi, to all those who have questions regarding paypal.. just wanna share with you my experiences..

    – as of what I know, Smart Money and unionbank eon ang pwede magamit to access your paypal account.

    – go to www.unionbankph.com for more details

    – Di pede pa ang BDO sa paypal.

    – After getting your own eon account card (which is acquired at around 3 weeks), (350 pesos) you will call the Unionbank customer service to get your activation code.

    – see to it that the paypal details you will be filling in with are correct.

    – Once you have your paypal account running, upon receiving money, you will be waiting for around 3 to 5 business days to claim your cash from your ATM. Any atm works, but regular charges apply if you will withdraw at an ATM other than Unionbank’s.

    Hope this helps!

    1) HOW TO WITHDRAW/ACCEPT FUNDS:
    Open a philippine savings account. Paypal only allows you to withdraw to a bank (savings) account not a debit/credit card.

    2) 4 DIGIT CODE (to verify your card)
    Look at your billing statement or online access service. 4-digit code should be there next to the paypal charge.

    3) Can you get scammed if the payer pays and the 2nd party backs out of the transaction?
    Naturally. If the payer complains, paypal might put a hold on your account.
