A little introduction
Now that you have already your East West VISA Debit Card, you can now use it to verify you Paypal Account.
To verify your Paypal account you need to have a credit card or debit card, I personally chose debit card; for me it is more safer than credit cards. Debit cards can only be used when you have loaded some amount of money on your account. In my case I use East West VISA debit card to verify my Paypal Account.
Visit the nearest East West bank branch in your area, East West Bank has branches nationwide. The tellers are also familiar in handling Paypal transactions so they can really assist you, just tell them that you need a VISA debit card card. Minimum deposit is only Php 100.00 but I suggest to deposit at-least Php 200.00. Present at least 1 valid Government issued ID and proof of billing like Electric Bills, Water Bills or Telephone Bills. Fill up their application form. Your VISA Debit card will be released within 4-5 working days depending on your location.
Upon Receiving the card you will be advised to changed the PIN Code, and Signed at the back to activate the card.
- Log-in to PayPal official website.
- Click on Profile>Add/Edit Credit Card
- Make sure that your Name in Paypal and in your card are the same
- Select Card Type = VISA
- Enter your 16 Digit Card Number
- Select Expiration Date
- Enter the 3-digits number located at the back of your card as Card Verification Number
- Lastly verify your Billing address if it matches the your billing address in you card.
- Add Card
Once you successfully added your card, you will be deducted Php100.00 in Debit Card.
Paypal will ask you 4 digit code to fully verify your account. Go to East West Branch for assistance and they will give you the 4 digit code, then you can now have your Paypal verified.
For Inquiries just leave your comments below, I'll try my best to answer all your questions. :)

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI tried verifying my eastwest debit card on paypal, however when I went to the bank, the 4-digit code to confirm the activation is missing on my transaction history. Does it take days for the 4-digit code to appear? Did you wait a few days before you went to the bank to get the 4-digit code? Thanks!
hello ma'am joy, in my case I came back to the bank after a week. just want to ask if your paypal transaction was credited to your bank statement. if so, ask the teller for the code. in my case they called their head office for verification on my paypal transaction, and gave me the 4-digit codes. thanks
DeleteYep, the paypal transaction was credited to my bank statement. I will ask the bank again within this week. Thanks!
Deletei have the same problem i cant confirm my paypal... have you ms. chrisma joyce confirmed your card in paypal?
DeleteThank you for this. Kakakuha ko lang ng debit card for payroll. Visa card din siya so pwede kong iconnect yung paypal ko dito tama po ba?. How much kaya ang withdrawal transaction from paypal to eastwest?
ReplyDeleteYep! pwede po. You mean transaction fee for every withdrawal? hindi pa ako naka try mag withdraw eh, but I think naka lagay sa paypal kung magkano. Thanks for visiting :D
DeleteHi po. May balak po sana akong bilhin online kaso kailangan ng expiration date. Saan ko pwedeng makita ung expiration date? thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello po. pansin nyo po sa card nyo may VALID THRU, yung sa akin dyan sa taas na card is 07/20 meaning July 2020 pa mag expire ang card ko ;)
DeleteDid you try to withdraw ur paypal acct thru eastwest? how much is the charge?
ReplyDeleteHello boss stead, I haven't tried to withdraw my paypal funds, since I still don't have that enough funds yet.. lol ;)
DeleteHi magkano po ba ang kailangan pra mawithdraw mo ang iyong funds sa paypal?
DeleteHi magkano po ba kailangan para ma withdraw ung funds mo sa paypal?
DeleteI guess, but I'm not that sure, atleast $50.00 ang laman ng paypal account mo.
DeleteHmm.. have you tried looking for the PayPal code from your EastWest account online? Since all credit and debit transactions are posted, I'm assuming the code is also indicated in there as a debit description. . (just guessing)

ReplyDeleteI have a paypal account and linked my EastWest Debit card. It took (Paypal) 145.00 from my online account and I cannot locate the four digit code they said on the website. Do I need to go to the branch where I got this card to get the pass code? HELP
ReplyDeleteHello manj, you have to visit the branch and ask them the code from paypal. thanks
Deleteyes.. call one of their CSRs to check the code. Just not sure but if you have an account online, the transactions are posted with the Paypal passcode as a description.
DeleteIm would like to know if applying for eastwest visa debit requires you to have a proof of billing under your name? Please confirm thanks
ReplyDeleteHello, yes you have to present a proof of billing but not necessarily under your name, as long as the address (home address) is the same with the one (home address) you use when filling up the form. Thanks ;)
DeleteDidn't work for me. Whenever I try (again and again) to add my card, it says:
ReplyDelete"The bank that issued your card didn't approve this transaction. Please contact the card issuer.s customer service department if you have any questions. Or you can add a different card now to continue."
Sir adam, just be sure that you deposited an amount of money to your card or account atleast 200.00 Pesos.
DeleteHave you tried to ask for assistance from the bank?
i havent got my code.. and i cant seem to find it in my transaction account... who will i asked.. i went to the nearest branch here in my place but manager said that they are having the same problem with other clients.. how will i see my code.. i was charged 100 for that and havent received any code from paypal
ReplyDeleteyou can ask the branch manager to call their head office and talk to the personnel assigned for online transaction.
DeleteHi, confirm ko lang, P 100 lang ba talaga and charge ng Paypal sa Eastwest to confirm the card? kasi confused lang ako and shocked to see 2 charges of P 46.45 when the only transaction I made was with Paypal since I opened my account. Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteDid paypal refunded you already, mine is $2.21 ang ni-refund ng paypal after verifying my paypal account.
DeleteSinabi ko sa manager ng branch etong charges ko, after 3 days na reverse yung naman. Unfortunately, the P 100-charge which is supposed to be from Paypal has no CODE on my transaction list. Waited for my bank statement, pero wala rin dun ung 4-DIGIT CODE.. Anyare? Hassle pala to, sana di na lang ako nag-open sa EWB, at di na rin nagtiwala s Paypal.. Haist :(
DeleteBadtrip sobrang hassle talaga.. Anu ba kelangan ko gawin dito.. Help naman please.. Thanks!
DeleteSabihin mo sa BM na tawagan ang Head office nila, O ikaw nalang mismo ito yung no. 575-3320; 575-3321; 575-3037 or www.facebook.com/eastwestbanker.com

ReplyDeletehello po sir blogger.
ReplyDeletewhen i tried to get verified with paypal... though i have already the bank pass code... wala naman portion dun sa page na ilalagay or e type and pass code? just wondering lang? until now, di pa rin ma verify ang account ko... if the only requirement is the pass code.. i already have it... pero the portion to type in my pass code is missing?... can you help me on this?
You can see something like this po sa paypal account nyo...
DeleteAccount Type: Premier Status: Unverified Get verified
Sending and Withdrawal Limits: View Limits
then click nyo po ang get verified and type the 4 digit-code
Hi, Lezel, after you add your card on Paypal, they will send the 4 digit code, it will appear on the bank statement.Once you have your 4 digit code, Log-in to your Paypal acct. click Get verified and enter you 4 digit code there. Thanks
ReplyDeletepwd b makita ung 4 digit code sa website ng eastwest? at paano mag login sa www.eastwestbanker.com hnd ako makagawa ng account ko eh laging error lumalabas pano ba makita ung online transaction mo sa online?
ReplyDeleteafter you created an account on online, merong kang ipiprint tapos dalhin mo sa branch mo kasi kelangan ipaapprove mo muna yung account mo online. Sila ang magaactivate ng account mo online. Same thing goes kung mag add ka pa ng another account. Kaya twice ako pumunta ng branch para magpaapprove lang. Yung first time may pinaprint sa akin tapos yung second time, wala na pinaprint.

Deleteno need to open an account with the bank kung prepaid card lang. just bring the necessary docs and IDs and pay the fees.
Deletenow as for debit cards, remember that ALL debit cards are connected to a bank account. Hindi sha tulad ng prepaid na pwedeng zero balance dahil ang bank account is may maintaining balance. Yung EastWest basic account only has P100 maintaining and P500 to earn interest (one of the lowest maintaining balance in the industry) that comes with a debit card already. Most savings account from banks come with a debit card with mastercard or visa logos already.
I have two basic accounts with EastWest for security purposes, one I use for purchases and the other where I maintain my funds. Kaya I just transfer funds online very easily.
And good news to prepaid cardholders. I believe we may now reload online. I'm still in the process of enrolling my prepaid card and I'll get back to you once I have successfully done reloading it using my online account.
http://honeyganda.blogspot.com/
is this forum is still open: just want to ask if someone have experience something like this, the 5-7 days minimum and maximum days of processing from paypal to EWB debit card is over in my case, but its been already 8 days now, and the my money is still not showing in my account in EWB, how many days should I wait for the EWB to process it in updating my EWB debit card account, coz the process in PayPal to EWB is now over, the PayPal team have done well, but the EWB team, I really dont know are they updating there records?
ReplyDeleteHello there, are you referring to withdrawing funds from paypal? I also had that kind of exp. it took me two weeks before the money reflected in my account, and I just withdraw it last day (june 16,2014) at EWB atm, just be patient.
DeleteI think you should contact EWB customer service because they obviously have the records on what has happened to your funds. They will be the best people to answer your query.
ReplyDeleteWorked perfectly, thank you
ReplyDeleteyes there is actually somebody reading this...

Hello guys,
ReplyDeleteI am now trying to withdraw from paypal to my east west bank account, and the form is asking for my account number. I wonder if my account number is the 16digit numbers that are embedded in my debit card. Anyone?
hi, your card number is not your account number, you can ask the teller of the bank for further assistance. thanks
ReplyDeletehello, do i need to open a bank account (savings) if gusto ko lang is prepaid card na VISA? for online games lang sana
ReplyDeleteno need to open any account. I opened my savings accounts months after I applied for a prepaid card. Kaya lang ako nagopen ng savings is for convenience sa online reloading.
DeleteThat's right, you don't need to open a savings account, just approach the bank's personnel and for your VISA Debit Card.
DeleteThanks Honey for always answering :D (h)
Hello guys,
ReplyDeleteI just wanna share my successful transfer of Paypal funds to sweet cash directly to my pockets. The process of transfer from Paypal to my East West Bank account took 2-3 days. I have done this 3 times already.
So East West Bank and Paypal combo is a success for me.
Sinulat ko sa sa journal ko yung experience ko. Here is the link. http://www.bubblews.com/news/5588294-paypal-verified-with-east-west-bank
Paano po kung walang Valid ID? Anong gagawin?
ReplyDeletekailangan talaga yan. try to have it at your post office.
DeleteNo ID, No entry.. lol.. jk..
DeleteAnyone who tried withdrawing PayPal funds to their prepaid visa cards? Successful be?
ReplyDeleteyep. it was successful. but i waited for almost a week before it reflect on my account.
DeleteHi Mak! What process did you use in withdrawing using your prepaid card, withdraw to your bank account or withdraw to card?
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in opening an account. Though, I'm wondering about the 'account number.' The one written on the card is just the 16-digit card number, but the account number is different right? So, where can you find the account number that you can use to withdraw your PP funds?
Thanks a lot! :)
hi.. did the bank give you your acct number? you may ask it from them :)
DeleteNot yet. I just stumbled on your page and I'm thinking na mas practical ang EastWest Savings Account as compared to Union Bank's EON. I'm using the latter btw.
DeleteThough, when I Googled for images, nakita ko na only card number lang yung printed sa card ng EastWest, walang account number below that? Do they give you the account number pagnag-apply ka ng account? I mean, nakasulat ba siya sa receipt when you claim your card.
Kailangan kasi yun para makapag-add ka ng bank sa PP, diba?
Thanks! :)
yep. but the account no..is not written enclosed with the card.. you can ask the bank personnel about your account no.. it is usually reflected on your receipt upon your first deposit. :)
Deletenag opened ako ng account sa EW,, to verified in paypal then withdrawal sana walang hassle:),,thanks guys sa mga comment nio nag ka idea ako,,
ReplyDeleteIf you plan to withdraw, funds in paypal, use withdraw to card. $5 will be deducted as processing fee. :)

ReplyDeleteHello, when did you apply for verification in paypal? you can wait for 1 week before it reflect on your account. you can visit the EW branch where you get your card, and tell them that you use your card for paypal purposes, they will call their head office in makati. at ipapakausap ka sa incharge nila, just bring with you your card and they will give you the 4 Digit code from Paypal.

DeleteMagkano po withdrawal charge Paypal to EastWest Debit? kasi sa BPI 150 tapos sa BDO 200 tapos Unionbank EON walang charge. Gusto ko sana subukan ask ko lang magkano withdrawal fee. Thanks po.
ReplyDeleteHow much ang withdrawal charge from Paypal to EastWest Debit card? BDO is 200 sobrang mahal but Unionbank EON walang charge lagi naman my problem. I hope someone can enlightened me how much is the fee. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Jane.. nakapagwithdraw na ako sa eastwest.. nagkaltas sa akin si paypal ng 5USD ata.. yung lang naman sa tingin ko.. pagwithdraw thru ATM wala na... sa tama yung sagot ko sa'yo.. hehe :D
DeleteHi. Has anyone tried withdrawing PayPal funds to their EastWest Prepaid Visa Card? Withdraw funds to card po ba ang procedure instead of bank account? Successful po ba ang procedure?
ReplyDeleteHello.. yes its withdraw to card po.. ok naman.. nakuha ko yung pera after 5 days.. but dko alam ko kailan dumating ang pera.. nkalimutan ko na.. basta nkuha ko ang pera.. sa visa debit card ko.. :D
DeleteSir Mak, wala po bang magiging problema kung PREPAID lang yung visa card ko? Di po ako nagopen ng savings account sa eastwest bank.
Deleteyep..ok lang, yun din lang ang in-open kong account sa debit card lang talaga..
DeleteI tried withdrawing my PayPal funds several times yesterday and today pero laging "We're sorry. There's been an intermittent communication problem. Please try again later". I already emailed PayPal regarding this pero failed pa rin yung withdrawal process ko =(
DeleteTingin ko hindi siya pwde sa "Prepaid" only sa debit card.
DeleteI see.. dapat pala Debit card talaga..
Deletehi guys, i need help. i just got my EW visa prepaid card... bat ganun? ayaw mag verifie? eto ang lumalabas. - The bank that issued your card didn't approve this transaction. Please contact the card issuer's customer service department if you have any questions. Or you can add a different card now to continue.
ReplyDeletebe sure that you've signed your card at the back.. and pls ask the bank if prepaid cards are same with debit card,, because what im using is a VISA DEBIT card..
Deletebaka walang load ang prepaid card mo. hindi nga maveverify yan. you need at least a certain amount to get verified by paypal when you're using either a debit or a prepaid card. try loading at least the equivalent of US$2.00 on your prepaid card then try to get verified again. And you don't need to worry about the amount because it's going to be given back to your PayPal account once you enter your EXPUSE Code to verify your PayPal account. You can get your EXPUSE Code by contacting an EastWest CSR a few days after you apply the card as means of verification. If you have an EastWest Bank account online, it MAY appear as well.
DeleteUpdate on this one: Instead of $2.00, since PayPal is deducting P100 now (which will be given back to your PayPal account as form of credit) as means of verification for the card, make sure you have an amount higher than P100 plus your minimum maintaining balance or its equivalent in foreign currency on your bank account before adding the card to your PayPal account. This way PayPal would be able to get the P100 amount without you having to pay a service fee for having your balance fall below the minimum amount required.
DeleteHi.. I just want to ask some question about paypal 'coz I want to create an account from them after I read all the posts I'm just confused..

DeleteCan i asked something ? how to available balance my pending balance ? its long day to pending my balance in my paypal account !!!
ReplyDeleteyes, you can asked something. How to available balance your pending balance is eezy. its always long day to pending your balance in your paypal account. Always always remember that coz they are importantly to know for us and for them also. Im hoped this is clearing as water as to my explanation for you regarding this.
DeleteHi, i recently opened an account with eastwest and i'm trying to enroll my account on internet banking but i sort of forgot my account number and my mom had thrown my initial deposit receipt, so.. you guys have any idea where i can retrieve it? any help is very much appreciated :)
ReplyDeleteHello, better to visit your the East-West bank and address your concern to the account officer..Thanks
DeleteWhy do you have pay $50 (or more than P2,200) for this Raxcard when you can get all debit cards for free and some prepaid/cash cards either for free or just a fraction of that amount here in the Philippines? This Raxcard is a total ripoff. I don't recommend this card to anybody in the Philippines.

hello po ano po mga id ang required ng eastwest sa pag apply ng account?
ReplyDeleteKayo po ano ginamit nyo?
hi dan, any valid ID, like Postal ID, Company ID, Voters ID, SSS, or TIN have it photo copied and just present it to the bank with your latest electric bill under your present home address, not necessary that it's under your name as long as the home address it same as what you stated in your application form. Good luck on applying your EastWest Debit Visa Card and verifying your Paypal account. :)
Deletehello! aside from those requirements, kelangan dn ba ng proof of income o cert. of employment
Deletehello! aside from those requirements, kelangan dn ba ng proof of income o cert. of employment
DeleteHi karen, NO NEED na po ng proof of income. or CoE. Just present any valid gov. ID and current electric bill yun lang..
DeleteHi ! Thanks . Got verified
ReplyDeleteGreat!! Congrats!
DeleteHi. :) How much is the initial deposit for the Eastwest visa debit card? And do i still need to have to open a savings account in eastwest bank before applying for a Visa debit card? thanks :)
ReplyDeletehello, as state above post, a minimum deposit is Php 100.00 but much better if you will deposit Php 200.00 if you want it to use to verify in your paypal account.. You don't have to open another saving account.. apply for a VISA DEBIT CARD. bring your latest electric bill and Valid ID.
DeleteThe Eastwest Visa Debit card ALWAYS comes with a bank account, may it be just a Basic Savings account (with minimum P100 maintaining deposit) or a Current account (checking) with ATM debit card. You can NEVER have the ATM debit card without opening a bank account. So to answer your question, yes you need to open a bank account in order to have the Eastwest Debit card.
DeleteHello po..ask ko lng po..need po kasi ng debit card sa qatar embassy magagamit ko po b ang eastwest bank kasi master or visa card dw kelangan..salamat po

Deletehello po, Ask ko lang kung ano po yung Balance Requirement CHarge Debit sa Eastwest. Nagdeposit po kasi ako ng 1300. tapos pagwithdraw ko 800 lang tinanggap ng machine, kinagat nila yung 500 at sabi napunta daw sa Balance Requerement cHarge Debit. nakakainis naman yun.
ReplyDeletebaka yan yung service fee ng bank dahil nagfall below minimum balance requirement yung account mo. Ang tanong is magkano ba yung balance mo before ka nagdeposit ng P1,300.00. Kasi for example, kung less than P100 ang balance mo at any time sa EastWest BAsic savings account mo, talagang sisingilin ka ng P500 per month for falling below minimum required balance. Dapat alam mo din yung mga fees sa mga ganyan, especially yung minimum balance requirement kung ayaw mong macharge.
DeleteHi Good day, I'm thinking of opening a basic savings bank account, I'm just wondering if it can be used for Paypal? If so, how were the transactions? Naki-credit ba within few days yung withdrawals form Paypal to your bank account? I'm thinking of getting EON sana, kaso nabasa ko yung mga complaints ng mga clients nila about Paypal withdrawals na tumatagal ng weeks, some even months. I was refered to eastwest bank by a friend. Looking forward to informative replies, Thank you guys, have a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteGood day, I don't know about ordinary saving acct. what I did was just the VISA DEBIT Card of EASWEST Bank, about sa withdraw from paypal to bank account it took 4-5 day before it reflect on my account.. better to visit the nearest EW bank in your place for more details.. Thanks and God bless
DeleteHey Thank you for the reply, the basic savings account is the one in this post, i think, i believe the one posted here is the one with maintaining balance of 100 and will earn interest when it reached 500 pesos., I applied last week, the teller is very accommodating, I still have to present an authorization letter from my land lady since I used the electric bill as a requirement but I already have an account, just need to present it to get my ATM, so far it was a good experience.
DeleteHello. Delay ba ang pag transfer ng Paypal to Eastwest? I transferred my funds last April 29 and completed na sya at expected date na darating eh May 5. Then nagtransfer uli ako nung May 6 at completed na rin ang status nya at expected na darating ng May 11. kaso ung dalawang transfer ko, di parin dumarating hanggang ngaun. pumunta ako sa branch kung san ako nag open kaso parang walang idea ung teller na nag assist sakin at ang sabi pa ay "kung wala pa sa account mo, di pa un pinadala ng PayPal". Anyway, naka 3 transfer nako from PayPal to Eastwest mula ng mag open ako ng account sa eastwest. RCBC gamit ko dati. Nag palit lang ako ng Eastwest kasi libre ang pagtransfer di gaya sa RCBC na me 100 pesos transfer fee. Pero kung alam ko lang na ganito gagawin ng Eastwest, di na sana ako nag open. Ano ba pwede ko sabihin sa teller at parang wala syang ideya sa online transaction. Gusto ko lang malaman kung napadala na ba ng PayPal sa Eastwest at kung kelan nila idedeposit sa ATM account ko. Sobrang hassle na kasi. Kinailangan pa tuloy mag loan ng Papa ko sa SSS dahil un ung perang inaasahan namin. Ty po sa sasagot.

Hi Jessica, sorry for a very late reply, anyway, nasolve na ba to? nakuha mo na ba ang pera mo?, you may visit them again and try to tell them to call their head office to assist you about this matter.. thanks and God bless. sa kaso ko, mga two weeks akong nghintay bago dumating ang pera from paypal..
DeleteHello po, I've already got my eastwest card a week ago but when I tried to link it to my paypal, there is a prompt that my card has expired and needs to change its expiry date. I really don't understand bakit nag ka ganon. What step did I miss ? Please help me thanks :))
ReplyDeletethen check the expiry of the card that you input on your paypal account.perhaps you typed in a year that's earlier than 2015. Keyword there is "expiry date."
DeleteHi po... anu ginamet ko din po ung eastwest debit card ko sa paypal completed ung status ko kaso po pinadalhan po ako ng letter ng paypal saying my transaction was declined...? baket po kaya nadecline un? madedebit po kaya ako? -_- help po... God bless
ReplyDeleteBaka hindi enough ang funds ng debit card mo. kelangan may enough funds ka to purchase an item PLUS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT to keep a minimum maintaining balance para naman sa bank account mo. DO NOT purchase an amount na magfall below maintaining balance ang bank account mo or else you'll be charged a service fee by the bank for falling below maintaining balance. Always, remember, ang mga debit cards are tied up to a bank account kaya hindi dapat ma-zero balance or magfall below minimum required balance yung account mo.
DeleteHello. Thank you for your forum.
ReplyDeleteSince meron na po akong Debit card sa EastWest nakapag-add ako ng deritsahan dahil yung ginamit ko noon ay EON of Union Bank kaso nag-expire na at hindi ko na naerenew. Wala namang problema kasi kahit hindi pa verified yung sa EastWest card ko ay nakapagwithdraw naman ako within two days lang. So mabilis.
Disappointed lang ako noong kukunin ko na ang 4-digit code doon sa banko. Hindi naman problema ito noong sa EON pa ang ginamit ko dahil may online account agad ako pagkatapos ko mag-open ng account. So dito sa EWB wala akong online account kaya ang ginawa ko mag-printa sana ako ng bank statement via bearer. Kaso lang nanghihingi pa sila ng 100 pesos na charge. GOD! 200 pesos na nga ang nakaltas sa deposit ko noong nag-add ako ng card sa PayPal which is refundable ang 100 kung na-verified na. Kakainis!
Paano ho ba makakuha ng code na wala ng bayad?
Salamat po at God Bless You.
Hi, you may just visit directly sa EastWest Bank for assistance, they will contact their head office for your concern, just tell them that you are using it for paypal and the 4 digit code, and also you may apply for their online banking system (https://www.eastwestpersonal.com.ph/secure/wt_si.asp), signup there and printout and give it to the bank to activate you card for online access. Thanks and God bless
DeleteI have a EON card na naka register sa Paypal but I want to transfer sana sa EWB kasi EON charges P10 per withdrawal and EWB free lang.
ReplyDeleteWhen I tried to add sa Paypal -- ERROR : You cannot add a bank account at this time
Any solution?
You may visit your bank for further assistance, try to signup to their online banking system (https://www.eastwestpersonal.com.ph/secure/wt_si.asp)
Deleteand take note: be sure that you've already changed you PIN/password of your card and also pls sign your card at back to activate you card. thanks and God bless

ReplyDeleteYour blog is fast becoming a haven for spammers. You may want to delete some unwanted comments to keep it clean from spam messages. That way, users with legitimate concerns about your blog would be enticed to ask valid questions and put valid comments, thus keeping the thread in action. I myself often visit your blog to keep me informed about the latest issues on EastWest's debit card, so it's just a pain to see spammers posts invalid comments which has nothing to do with your article.
Hi Hon, thanks for your concern, I really appreciate it.. will delete some spam comments. Thanks again :) God bless
DeleteHi..where in the atm card can i find the security code and expiration date? thank you
ReplyDeleteHello, the expiration date is located below your card number written as valid until or valid thru 7/20 - meaning the card will expire on July 2020
Deletehow about the security code? i am about to pay something thru online and it requires me to input the 4 or 3 digits security code depending on the card..it says it is located in the card itself..i am not sure of it..where in the numbers in the card it is? can u help me please?..thanks
DeleteHi. you can find it at the back of your card beside your signature the 3 digit number
DeleteI got it..Thank you MAK:)
DeleteI got it..Thank you MAK:)
Deleteyou're welcome! pls do share this with your friends. Thanks :) God bless
DeleteHi everyone! I just want to share my experience using East West Visa Debit card. I have successfully added my card to Paypal and have successfully withdrawn money from Paypal to EW card. I followed the instructions in this blog, and thank you dahil na approve yung card ko. But take note that this tutorial said na i-add yung card sa CREDIT CARD. Pag nagtry kayo mag withdraw sa Paypal, you will be charged everytime. At aabutin pa ng 5 to 7 days ang pag clear.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I did: I added the card as a BANK ACCOUNT. Walang charge pag 7k up yung iwiwithdraw nyo at 2 to 3 days lang ang clearing time. :)
It works like the Eon card, minus the annual 350 pesos fee.
Just a thought. Won't this create an issue since card number ang inenter mo and not the bank account number even if they're both in one account?
DeleteHi! I just got my atm debit card last thursday Aug. 20 in Ortigas branch. The one who assisted me told me that the activation of the card is 24 hours. But it's already been 4days and it's still not yet activated in the machine. How can I activate my card? Kindly help me for this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFor account-related issues, the best people to ask would be the bank personnel or the bank CSRs. They would be the ones who would give the best answer as to why your card has not been activated yet.
DeleteSince nobody has asked this yet, can somebody tell us what your most common PayPal withdrawal amount is and how much does EastWest Bank charge for it (this is assuming you are withdrawing an amount higher than P7,000 to avoid the P50 PayPal withdrawal fee via banks)?
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI. I recently made a balance inquiry via online banking and I noticed that my bank account has a new account number next to the old account number. Today, I asked one of the CSRs and she said it doesn't matter if I used either of the account numbers but she advised it was much better if I used the new one. She didn't say anything as to until when I could use the old account number.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hon for the additional info. :)
DeleteThumbs up for this post and a BIG THUMBS UP for being passionate about replying in the comments section. :)
ReplyDeleteI just have a few questions which I have been researching for answers online for a few days now.
Given different fees for local & overseas withdrawals for these debit cards, do you have an idea of how much do they charge for online transactions vis VISA/MASTER? Let's say I purchase a plane ticket online/purchase in amazon which cost $155.00. Will they charge me more than the said amount for using it online?
If I use the card through POS (point of sale), how much do they charge? Let's say I used it in a restaurant overseas and use the card to pay via VISA swipe. Do they have an additional fee? Thanks! :)
hello cruiser vodka, since i'm just right here in the philippines, i have no idea about using it overseas, but locally, i think there are no transaction fees, if the cost is $155.00, then thesame amount will be deducted with your debitcard. (in amazon, however, i havnt purchase it there yet) ..
Deletesame with using it on PoS, i've tried using it at mall of asia, no are no fees.
Being an online and overseas shopper myself, I have not experienced having any additional surcharges for purchases using my prepaid cards (I have been using a lot of prepaid cards online and abroad and unless any of you here knew of any Philippine prepaid card which does have any additional surcharge please let us know).
DeletePrepaid cards are not like credit cards where you owe a bank some money. Having surcharges of all sorts, including some of those purchases online and abroad, will be included in your credit card bill since the bank lends you your funds. For international purchases, most of these banks would even add some currency adjustment fees since you will be billed in a different currency for shopping abroad.
Now because prepaid cards have already been prefunded and you don't need to borrow any bank some money, these charges will not be included in your international purchases.
Just be careful because I think there are some banks which will charge you for declined overseas transactions due to insufficient funds so always make sure that you have enough top ups on your card to avoid this fee.
Thanks Hon, lab lab. :)
DeleteBtw, this also goes the same way with debit cards.. :)
DeleteHi there I have created a paypal account many years back but never had the chance to verify my account. I have recently opened an eastwest debit card but was told that my card will be ready tuesday of next week, so I guess that is the only time I will be able to link my account right? once I have done so, how long does it take for my paypal to get verified granting that I have linked my eastwest debit card to my paypal account? thank you and hope you can find time to shed some light on my concern.
ReplyDeletehello ana, once you have the card, it is automatically ready to be used.. First, change the default PIN or password as u desire, just follow the steps above on how to verify your paypal acct..thanks and God bless
DeleteHi Mak Thank you so much for your reply. I was finally able to link my eastwest debit card to my paypal acct, however, when I tried transfering my paypal funds to my eastwest card last thursday, the money is still not reflected in my account. How many days does it really take for me to be able to withdraw the money i transferred from my paypal account? thanks again in advance
DeleteHi ana, sorry for late reply, 4-5 working days is enough,let us know if you were able to withdraw your paypal funds using your eastwest debit card. thanks and Godbless
DeleteHI. I hope you can help me... Sabi nung sa Eastwest eh yung Account number daw ay yung 16 digit number sa harapan ng card.. pero nag try ako mag open ng Internet banking account sa Eastwest eh 12 digits lng.. Saan po ba ito makikita? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAng sabi po sakin nung nasa Eastwest eh yung 16 digit number din daw ung account number.
hello,dim, magkaiba po ang card no. at account no. po, nakaattach po ang acct no. nyo sa envelop nong pagtangangap nyo sa card.. ask again sa teller yung account no. ninyo.. thanks.. God bless!
DeleteHello po, bakit ganun hindi ko po maintindihan kung asan yang 4 digit code wala naman sa Eastwest bank online personal account ko? 1 week ko ng prinoproblema to :( Help please
ReplyDeleteHi po, sir Wilfredo, masmabuti po puntahan nyo nalang ang Eastwest at kausapin ang in-charge sa onlinebanking, sabihin nyo po ng may 4digit code na binigay ni Paypal, pang-verify ng paypal acct nyo. Thanks..
Deletebeware of scams like these.
ReplyDeleteGood job.. Ang haba na ng thread mo, Mak.. :)
ReplyDeleteOo nga hon, nakatulong din naman ng kunti, hehe
Deleteyou can call their call center po to get the 4 digit verification number. customer service are happy to help you. i did mine thru call. mas mabilis. they'll ask a couple of question. It yung customer service number nila Customer Service Hotline 888-1700. after dialing the number press 5 and 1 para diretso na.
ReplyDeleteOther than calling them you can also email them. They will reply to your email within the day.
Twice ako kumuha ng card sa ESB. and i attached them both sa paypal account ko. yung una email ang gamit ko para mg request ng code.yung pangalawa tumawag na ako. Mas mabilis kasi di kana kailangan pumunta sa branch nila. sometimes po di alam ng personel ng bangko ano ang gagawin to get the verification code.
sana po naka tulog sa kukuha pa lang.
hi sir toto, salamat sa suggestions mo po.. God bless
DeleteHi sakin naman wala naman hinihinging verification code ying east west. Saka nag transfer na ako ng pera, successful naman sabi ng paypal kaso 5 days na wala parin sa account ko...
ReplyDeleteSaka anu po ba yang 4 digit code na yan??? San sya ilalagay?? Sa paypal or eastwest?? Kasi d naman ako hinahanapan nyan po...registered na din ako sa online bangking ng EW kaso la parin yung na transfer ko na pera. And one more thing nag nonotify ba ang paypal sa email pag successful na dumating na talaga yung money mo sa EW?
ReplyDeleteNakita ko na yung 4 digit code sa paypal pala yun. The problem is eh as bank account ko in-add yung savings account ko from EW not as debit/credit account.
ReplyDeletePano ka nagkaroon ng 4digit code kung bank account lang yung inadd mo? Para lang sa debit/prepaid/credit cards yung 4 digit code. Kapag nag-add ka ng bank account sa Paypal, wala ng 4digit code. At kapag debit/prepaid/credit naman ang pinangverify mo is laging 16 digits yun. Abot ba ng 16 digits ang bank account number mo?
DeleteAT LAST!!!..Nakapagwithdraw din ako from PayPal to EastWest.. lol
ReplyDeleteP10,871.54 yung withdraw ko October 25, tapos P10,871.54 din yung pumasok sa EastWest savings bank account ko October 26. So does this mean walang fee ang EastWest bank kapag nagswithdraw sa PayPal? Or does it come after a few days pa?.. balitaan ko kayo after a couple of days. I'm happy na ngayon kasi very reluctant ako sa mahabang panahon about PayPal withdrawals. Ambilis lang pala.
BTW, nakalagay naman na kapag below P7k, may withdrawal fee ang Paypal. Kapag 7k and above, waived na. Make sure din na match yung name ng bank and PayPal accounts, and make sure na tama yung account number at bank code. I used the new Eastwest bank account number, not the old one para sigurado.
