you should at least get one form of credit card... comes in very handy in emergency situations

thanks for the reply, but do I really need one for Paypal purposes?

You need some form of card which can be charged for retail purchases. By definition, that's a credit card. I'd say that it's very easy to get a credit card nowadays. Just go to your bank and they'll be more than happy to give you a card. It's business for them.

Sir Mark,

Thanks for chiming in, the problem I think is ME.

Since I don't want to have a credit card but would love to have a verified Paypal account. Now enters Unionbank's Eon card which I guess (been reading since this morning duh) was exactly made for Paypal. It's more of a debit card than a credit card if I understand it correctly.

Anyways, if anyone has any experience with Eon used for Paypal kindly share your thoughts too, otherwise, I'll get a credit card na lang, BDO has been bullying me for years and even sent credit cards that are ready for activation already but like I said... I'm avoiding credit cards.

Cheers!

Unionbank's eon is the way to go. I have used it for long time now.

Once you get your Unionbank debit card, apply for an online Unionbank access, so that you can view your bank statement.

You may now proceed with your Paypal Registration then request for your debit card verification. After paypal acknowledges your verification application, view your Unionbank bank statement and take note of the Paypal code.

Go back to Paypal and input Paypal's code and you are ready to go.

I'll just go get both Eon and a credit card sir.

How do you put money on your Paypal account when you want to buy something?

obelix · « **Reply #125 on:** Jun 26, 2011 at 08:55 AM »

it will debit the amount to your verified Eon card or credit card

ok so I put money on my Eon card so it's locked and loaded when I click Buy It Now, is that correct sir?

as for the credit card I understand it will just show up on the next statement of account.

I now finish registering at Paypal but need to verify my account.

I don't have a credit card so is Unionbank's Eon the best and fastest way for me to go?

That sounds like the logical option, if you don't want a credit card.

It's one of the few debit cards that are supposed to work with Paypal.

Sir RU9 and an office mate swore it works with Paypal and with a Php350 a year renewal fee, it seems to be the cheapest approach too.

I'm afraid I am not built for banking and all this terms and jargon are new to me that's why the many questions.

Thanks for all the replies, I will apply for an Eon at the nearest Unionbank tomorrow and also check with my BDO branch if they can also issue me a credit card.

Cheers!

'kala ko this Eon card walang membership fee... meron din pala...

but it works only like ATM (direct debit form your acct.) whereas CC can be used also on other purchases even your bank acct balance is low.

You can do away with P350 renewal fee by opening and maintaining your account at 10K.
I have this account.

Is this an Eon account only or a savings account sir?

A savings account with a debit card feature.

A savings account with a debit card feature.

Ok, will check again or ask them tomorrow. Reading from their website, the regular savings account average daily balance is 25K.

EDIT:

Sorry my bad, it was 10,000 for the ADB (average daily balance) and 25,000 for the account to earn interest.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late input, but yes, the Unionbank EON card will solve your PayPal needs. When purchasing in Paypal, make sure your EON account has sufficient funds for the transaction. When receiving payment via Paypal, be aware of the Paypal charges (1% yata?).

Good luck with your online shopping lifestyle.

Hi Pao,

Went to Unionbank this morning and applied for the Eon already, sadly, it would take 5 working days before I get it, plus the time to take Paypal to verify my account. So no shopping yet hehehe... soon.

Also went to my BDO branch and asked about a credit card and they were more than happy to give me one right away but I declined and wanted to learn more about it first.

Cheers!

JojoD818 · « **Reply #137 on:** Jul 04, 2011 at 08:46 AM »

Dapat makuha ko na today yun Eon card ko... excited na ako mag verify ng Paypal account hehehe...

Brader, dito ako sa Valenzuela branch nag apply kaya it took me 7 banking days kainis talaga ang tagal. Buti na lang yun bibilin ko sa eBay may "Buy It Now" button kaya di ko need mag bid.

Nakuha ko na kanina, apply ko muna internet banking, di ko makuha yun 4-digit code na pinadala ng Paypal unless I do so.

Hay waiting na naman... bagal ng Unionbank...

wala naman maintaining balance, kailangan lang may laman funds pag may bibilihin ka sa Paypal. 2 days pa verification ng internet banking, ang problema nag verify na ako sa Paypal kaya hinihintay na yun 4-digit code... hay ang bagal talaga ng unionbank hahaha

JojoD818 · « **Reply #144 on:** Jul 05, 2011 at 07:39 AM »

YES!

I am now a verified Paypal account holder. Hindi ko na nahintay yun 2-3 banking days ng Unionbank so I just called then for the 4-digit access code that Paypal needs to verify my account.

there's no maintaining balance brader, and the ok thing about this is you need to first put funds on your Eon account before shopping. so no money on the Eon means no shopping, it's like a limiter for impulse buyers hahaha!
