Many Pinoys want to know how to verify a Paypal Philippines account without a debit or credit card (add bank account). This is because plastic is not as widely used in the Philippines as with the Western world. Not everybody can easily avail a credit card, and some people just don’t want to have one. Another reason is that some people still aren’t comfortable putting their credit card details online.
If you are planning to do some serious shopping using Paypal, it’s better to get your account verified. You can just add your bank information instead of using your debit or credit card to verify the account.
Here’s how:
1. Click on the ‘My Account’ tab. Roll over the ‘Profile’ menu and select ‘Add/Edit Bank Account’.
2. Enter your bank details. The bank account must be in Philippine Peso (PHP) currency and the name on your PayPal account must match the name on your bank account.
3. If you need to edit your name in Paypal, you can click on the ‘change the name’ link found on the same page.
4. Click here to see the list of bank codes for major banks in the Philippines to complete your Paypal verification.
5. After you hit continue, Paypal will make two small deposits to your bank account. Wait for your bank statement or check it online and note the amounts.
*If the account name is incorrect or incomplete, the funds will be returned to PayPal and you will be charged a P250 return fee. Your bank may charge additional fees.
6. Once you have the information, log-in to your Paypal Philippines account and click on ‘confirm bank account’ from the Accounts overview page. Enter the exact deposit amounts and voila! Your account should now be verified.
The advantage of using a bank account is not having to worry about putting your debit or credit card info online. Bank account numbers are pretty much useless to online scammers because they can’t use it to make online purchases. Also, you can add and withdraw funds from your Paypal account easier.

i have a problem of getitng my paypal code after i added my debit card on it. I have apply a new saving account along with a debit card November, then i add my debit card to paypal and it ask me to get the 4 digit code from my bank statement then use the PP**** to activated it on paypal. but i hope to get it as soon as possible, then i go to pbbank and link this new account to my pbebank, so i can get the e statement and get my pp code. The pronlem is i couldent get any code statement, then i go to atm an print the statement, and it dosent shown any code, then i call and ask pb bank c service and they say u cant get ur NOV statement, because u apply ur account that month, So how about Dec and Jan? they say havent ready yet. and maybe u can call the card department? But when i call card service department, computer ask me to key in my card number, and then the what card pin. May i know where is the card number ? 16 digit front of the card? and the card pin is the 3 digit behind? Until now i still dint get my pp code, May i know how u get your pp code ?
I had the same problem with my East West Visa Debit Card. I enrolled in the internet banking service to be able to see my statements online. Sadly, most banks don’t show details and my statement only showed “INTL VISA POS”.
I called East West Bank’s Customer Service Hotline and was finally able to the the PP code after a few verification questions. I got my account verified within a few minutes.
You might want to try calling your bank’s customer service hotline.

Can i use visa issued from pag-ibig to link on paypal account?
hi my paypal account does not match the bank account that i linked to its my father’s account but i tried to withdraw then the status was confirmed,,will it still be withdrawn or not?
I got a USA PayPal from Auction Essistance. Only issue I am having is cashing out the money since I do not have a USA bank. Do you have any solutions?
This method is already useless since paypal now requires that a credit/debit card be linked to your paypal account in order to get verified. I tried this method before and got verified. But now my paypal account is unverified again since they now require a credit/debit card to be linked to my paypal account.
