Getting My Paypal Verified With a Unionbank EON Card

UPDATE: The steps illustrated here is obsolete. Here’s the new tutorial on how to verify Philippines Paypal account using Unionbank EON.
Chances are, you got into this post because you need a Unionbank EON card to verify your Paypal.
If you have a Payoneer card already, you can use it to verify your Paypal account in a faster way.
However, if you need two cards verified with a Paypal account, or you simply do not have a Payoneer card, then you have to start the trek to the long wait right away.
Here are the steps:
- I enrolled in a Unionbank EON account online. I waited for around two weeks because the bank encountered some problems. I had expected getting the card within a week after registration.
- When the card finally came, I went to the bank to claim it. I shelled out P850 for the account – P350 for the annual card fee and P500 for the deposit. I had to put in some money because Paypal requires some cash for the Paypal Expanded Use (EXPUSE). Paypal deducts $1.95 for this.
- I had to wait for another day to activate the card with an ATM.
- Once activated, I have to enroll in their internet banking. I waited two days to get it activated.
- I logged in my Paypal and linked this card within the site.
- I got into my Unionbank EON account and saw the $1.95 deduction – in Pesos.
- I have to wait for another 3 days for the EXPUSE number.
- When I got the EXPUSE number, I was able to confirm my card. I finally had a Verified Paypal account!
A verified Paypal account is needed to withdraw Paypal funds to any Philippine bank account. Unverified accounts do not have this capability.

Hi, How can I get a free card from payoneer ?
my ym id : koobrade
ty.
You have to be a provider in oDesk before you get to have your card.
hello question po ulit.. hehe.. pag mag-a-apply ba ng Eon card.. di na ba kailangan na may savings account ka sa unionbank..? okay na ba na dumiretso na sa pag-aapply ng eon account? magkano lahat magagastos..? pwede ba ako mag-apply ng EON card online..? salamat po.. sorry dame tanong.. thanks ate gem..
ayan. last monday pumunta na ako unionbank.. and nakapag-open na ako ng account.. wee!.. sabi bumalik daw ako after 2 weeks…
Hello Gem and hello to all your followers,
Thanks for your prompt response to my mail. Anyway, I just applied for a payoneer card. Do you know how long it takes for Payoneer to approve the card? Also, I’m planning to apply for EON but unfortunately they don’t have online applications anymore. If I go to the bank, how long does it take for me to receive the card? Thanks!
Hello. Meron akong paypal and I work on odesk too pero di ko pa naveverify yung paypal ko.. Tanung ko lang kung pwede ko iwithdraw yung money to my own bank account using the Eon card o kelangan magopen pa ako ng account sa kanila? I have a BPI account kasi tsaka may charge din ba yun?
I also didn’t know that there had to be a deposit of 500. Ng naginquire ako sa kanila ang sinabi lang nilang babayaran ko 350 for the card.
Thanks
Yes, you need to open a new bank account with Unionbank. Get an EON account with them. To clarify, the P350 required by Unionbank is just for the card, so they are right about that. What the bank did not tell you is that kailangan mo magdeposit ng pang verify ng Paypal which is worth $1.95 (around P200 lang, not the P500 as I had stated in the post). If you don’t deposit the amount, you cannot verify your Paypal (mag-e-error).
Hindi pwede ang BPI cards to verify your Paypal account. However, some credit cards also work well in verifying Paypal.
Hi gem, i already have the money in my paypal account and just recently applied the Eon Card, means that it would take 1-2 weeks to wait for my card to come.
Now my question is, is it possible to transfer the money to a unionbank account, which my father owns the account and NOT an EON Card Account(it was actually his GSIS account then he would like to lend it for me for a while) and would like to use his account to withdraw the money. I really can’t wait 1-2 weeks since i really needed the money. Will it be ok? i hope you know this kind matter. tnx
No, your Paypal account name should match the name of your bank account. You just really need a bank account in your name for that.
Hey gem, but I thought the Payoneer card could not be used for Paypal verification, how come your reply to Anonymous seem to indicate that it could? I work with GAF too, but I think you have to pay some money to have the card sent to you.
In oDesk, getting Payoneer card is entirely free (we don’t pay for upgraded membership to get a Payoneer card), but the initial payment of the card comes with the activation.
GAF (and other freelance sites) have a different system/way of doing things – such as paid membership to get a Payoneer card.
I don’t know if this would help pero kung may epassporte account kayo pwede din pang verify sa paypal. I have verified my paypal using my epassporte and had been withdrawing funds from paypal using my epassporte debit card. Question ko lang Gem, di ba pwede i withdraw funds from paypal using the Unionbank EON debit card? Kasi it seems parang pang verify lang ang gamit based from what I’ve read so far, baka naman pwede ring i withdraw funds from paypal to your EON debit card, can you please shed some light on this? Thanks
Yes, I had been withdrawing funds from Paypal to Unionbank.
So it’s really important to have some bucks sa eon before mag verify? haaay haba pala ng process
Actually mas okay pa ito kaysa claiming earnings through US dollar checks from online sites – which takes 45 days to clear and needs to be deposited to a dollar account. That’s just a small inconvenience compared to the ones who tried to earn online long time ago.
Hi, I am currently experiencing that on paypal and I am waiting on my EON account and its going 2 weeks now, the problem is on Oct 24 my fund will be returned because Paypal has a 30 day limit. Question, can I use other’s credit/debit card just to confirm my account on paypal? I really have to get my money. I linked it on my Metrobank savings acount.
Just another info about Eon card:
1. Your Eon card is also a savings account which you can use to withdraw from Paypal.
2. Deposit not less than 200 Pesos if u want to get verified on Paypal then call UB customer service for the EXPUSE after you link your card.
3. You can use eon to purchase online or even engage any online business. You can checkout Global Infinity Income site for such opportunity.
Thank you and have a great day.
Hi im sorry if na answer na eto im really confuse with this pay pal thing, anyways im new with odesk just wanna ask, what do i need, order for me to apply in pay pal? do i need to have a credit card first? and in signing up in pay pal which one do i choose? personal , premiere or business? as ive understood sa post mo kasi ate gem I first need to have an union bank eon account right? and when i get my card thats the time i can apply for pay pal right? correct me if im wrong ha hehehe.. kasi when u apply sa pay they ask you for a certain credit card number and some 3 digits as well so im guessing you need to have that union bank eon card first before you can apply sa pay pal? thanks whoever is able to answer my questions. More power.
Most of your questions are answered on this page.
Hi Gem,
I went to Unionbank yesterday to open an EON account. And it’s true you have to wait for 2 weeks to claim the card. And according to you it will take at least 6 days for your account to get verified. And another 4 days to withdraw your money.My problem is, I have already money waiting to be withdrawn from my paypal account.It was transferred yesterday, November 03,2009. My question is how many days does Paypal allow to withdraw your money from your account?

Hi Gem! I’ve been reading your posts regarding PayPal verifications and they’re really helpful. Thanks so much!
I already have my own Payoneer MasterCard ‘cuz I’ve signed up for oDesk. But my prob is, it doesn’t have any funds in it yet. So I’m looking for other possible ways to verify my PayPal account.
Anyways, I have a simple question about this post. You said you opened an E-ON account online? How did you do it? Can you please give me a link? I’ve been looking for a link for opening one in UB website, but I couldn’t seem to find. I may be blind, lol. Sorry ’bout this. But I hope you’ll help me. Thanks a lot in advance! More power!
hayzz,,,sa akin mjo narelieve na ako using Eon account tho dpa ako ngwithdrawn ksi wla pa akong EXPUSE…in my case, it only took one week when i got my card…taz mdli nlng ang pglink pro dpt mgdeposit ka muna..kainis UB ksi they wont tell u specifically na gnito dpt gwin pti pgchange ng PIN ang gulo….so better get an Eon account
Ahh. Nakalagay kasi doon sa UB website na optional lang ang pagdeposit. They’re instructions are kinda messy. So you gotta figure out the next steps on your own. Kinda hassle. Anyways, thanks jhaz!
Hi Gem,
I keep n reading your blog and thank you very much, it was very helpful…
One thing that bother my mind…Is it necessary to deposit money to UB even if we have enough money in Paypal…Hindi ba pwede na dun nalang sa paypal account kunin yung $1.95 as EXPUSE…
e verify ko na sana yung paypal ko kaso denied yung result…is this because hindi ako nag deposit sa UB…?
Hope to hear from u…
Sincerely
Riza
Yes, kailangan ng deposit just to cover $1.95 charges, kahit na may laman ang Paypal mo. Remember that EXPUSE is a security measure done by Paypal to verify that you are legit.
Hi Gem,
Thank you so much for your reply. I made it already and got my money na from paypal and now it was totally verified.
Best Regards,
Riza
hi..tanong ko lng what do you mean by “Unlike what I’ve experienced, the process is easier – the Paypal EXPUSE is now provided within your online internet facility.”
what is this “internet facility”? are u refering to EON online account? the ones you get to enrol after getting ur eon card?
thanks
Hello, ako ulit..
tanung ko lang: Is it possible to add funds using the EON card? Gusto ko kasi lagyan ng laman ang paypal.. If not, is it true na pwede pa rin gamitin ang paypal kahit zero balance at idededuct na lang sa EON card yung money? Thanks.
Hello! I have a few questions. I read this post pero I just skimmed through the comments so I’m not sure if these are asked already. I’m only 16, can I apply for the EON card already? Does paypal accept underage credit cards (for lack of a better word :p) Also, I only really need paypal to buy some things online (because I’m pretty sure my parents won’t allow me to use their CCs)so if ever I get an EON card will I be able to shop online with it (is it a CC)? Thanks!
Hay Salamat Sa Diyos Dinala Niya ako d2 sa Blogs Website mo Ate Gem, Ang tagal ko ng naghahanap ng ganitong blogs kc may Paypal Account ako at medyo naka ipon na rin kya lang dko alam kung pano ma withdraw kc dpa nave verify ang Account ko.
Nasagot nito lahat ng tanong ko about Paypal.
Kya lang problema d2 pa ako sa Middle East. OFW kc ako, Kaya sa pag uwi ko pa pala jan sa Pinas makaka pag apply ng UnionBank EON Card.
Nasagot na lahat ng tanong ko pero pwede magtatanong pa rin ako, he he he. Pwede ba akong mag apply ng online EON Card? Or Misis ko sa jan sa Pinas ang mag apply ng EON para sa akin? Pwede ba yon? ha ha ha
Salamat ulit. More Power, Good Day, God Bless
No, they disabled online application na. You have to go directly to the bank to open an account.
Ouch, sayang naman…but thanks anyways ate Gem…Now I understand everything about Paypal…Good Day, God Bless…
Hello Gem,
I have an account in oDesk, and I already got my Payoneer Mastercard(it takes 1 month). I decided to verify my Paypal Account using EON, it’s because EON is much cheaper to use rather than Payoneer. My teammates in oDesk use EON Card too, because they can’t afford Payoneer.
Can you share a thought about this? I know using Payoneer is faster but expensive. Which do payment method do you prefer, Payoneer or EON.
