The Lady Programmer

I found a helpful video tutorial on how to link Paypal to Unionbank EON account – using the latest way. I just have to replace the old tutorial I’ve written previously in how to verifying one’s Paypal account which follows a new and easier process of verification.

Here’s a summary of the steps (as illustrated in the accompanying video):

1. Unionbank does NOT need any minimum balance requirements. However, one must pay P350 to open up a bank account and the accompanying Unionbank EON card.
2. Take note of the information written on the Unionbank EON card. The number at the middle of the card is the card number. The smaller number below your name is the bank account number. The bank account number IS THE ONE TO USE for verifying Paypal account.
   
   
3. You need the following:
   • EON card and bank account number
   • valid email address
   • valid phone number
   • valid postal mailing address which should be the same as the address indicated in your Unionbank EON card
   • at least P200 deposit to cover $1.95 that Paypal takes away for verification. (Note that $1.95 is returned back into one’s Paypal account after a successful verification).
4. Sign up for Paypal, choose Philippines then click the preferred account. Usually, a Personal Paypal account is enough. Make sure to use the same details that you had used with your Unionbank EON account. (If you want to know the  difference between Personal, Premium or Business Paypal account, then read this previous post: Signing up with Paypal, which account is suitable?
5. Confirm your email address by clicking the link in the verification email that came from Paypal. You will need to enter your Paypal password to complete this step.
6. Go back to the Paypal page, and just below the welcome line with your name click on the Get Verified link.
7. Login to your Unionbank EON banking and search on the transaction history for the VISA Expanded USE charge. Remember the 4 digits that appear after the word VISA.
8. Switch back to the Paypal page and enter those 4 digits into link and confirm your debit or credit card.

How to Activate “Withdraw to Bank Account” Feature

Like what Eireen Diokno-Bernardo had said in the video, I save more and get Paypal funds early using withdraw to bank account option. Please read my previous post: Withdrawing Paypal Funds: Should I Choose “Withdraw to Bank” or “Withdraw to Card”?

1. Login to Paypal account.
2. Click Withdraw tab, then click Withdraw to your bank account.
3. Fill in the information required. Although the video demonstrated how to add a Unionbank bank account, ANY OTHER PHILIPPINE BANK ACCOUNTS that are assigned Philippine bank codes by Paypal can be used: participating Philippine banks and their bank codes

   Puwede po kaya yung BDO Visa ATM card instead of EON card? Wala po kasing Unionbank dito sa amin.

   At this time you can’t use other ATM/debit cards to verify Paypal. Only Unionbank EON card and a few credit cards (I don’t which) work with Paypal verification.

   Can I link my EON debit card without confirming my bank?
   or
   The bank must be first confirmed before I can link my EON debit card?

   I already have more than Php200 initial deposit on my EON debit card.
   Paypal sent already 2 small deposits on my bank last Feb 5, 2010 and today is Feb. 10 already. My Eon transaction history until now have not shown any history regarding the paypal deposit. grrr!

   I always get denied error by the issuing bank when I try to link my debit card.

   The process of verification does not involve any confirmation of a bank account. The Paypal verification process is to confirm that you are a LEGIT individual.

   I hope all the details you’ve placed on your Paypal account are correct. It helps to check your Paypal details several times (not only do a double check). You can’t use other bank accounts or use false names.

   If this is still a problem, I think the best thing to do is to contact EON for that concern.

   Hi there,

   mommy, ask ko lang.. under the union guide, may ganitong nakalagay:
   “Personal Accounts – You can only accept payments monthly and up to 5 credit or debit card payments annually with your Personal account.” ano bang meaning niyan? that you can only withdraw your money via eon ONCE in a month lang? Thanks

   Hi Ma’am,

   I would just like to make sure… If I deposit in my EON- Union Bank account, may I use that amount in shopping online through paypal? Is it the same amount that will appear as my balance in my paypal account?
   Thank you.

    hi,
    I’m new to this paypal thing. when sending an invoice, what do you think should i place on the CURRENCY BOX? If i put in US DOLLARS, does that mean I’ll receive my payment in US money?
