Verify Your Paypal Account Using Unionbank EON

After you've successfully applied for a Unionbank EON card and enrolling it with CyberAccount, let me guide you on how you can use it to verify your Paypal account. With this guide, you will also learn how to link your Paypal account to your Unionbank EON card for future withdrawals.

I have posted a guide before about another way for you to verify your Paypal account by using SmartMoney. If you don't want to spend Php 550.00 (Php 350 for the EON card, Php 200 for the Paypal verification which would be refunded to you) for the whole Paypal verification using Unionbank EON, you can opt for the SmartMoney method. However, for your Paypal fund withdrawals, you will need or use Unionbank EON so you might as well get one and use it for verification AND withdrawals, right?

Why is it important to verify your Paypal account? Although you can receive unlimited amount of money, you won't be able to use your Paypal funds to purchase online since most online stores accept payments from verified Paypal accounts only.

Alright, so, on to the guide about verification of your Paypal account using Unionbank EON card. Read on.

1. First of all, you have to deposit at least Php 150-200 to your Unionbank EON account for the Paypal account verification. Paypal will be charging your account $1.95 for this verification. Don't worry because this amount will be refunded to your Paypal account afterwards.

Note: DO NOT continue with the verification unless you have deposited the said amount to your Unionbank EON account. Otherwise, the verification will fail.

2. Login to your Paypal account and click on the Get Verified link on the Account Overview page.



3. On the next page, fill up the form with your Unionbank EON card details. Then, click on Save and Continue button.


4. Now, wait for your 4-digit Expanded Use (EXPUSE) number to reflect on your Unionbank EON account. You can login to Unionbank CyberAccount and check your transaction history to check if your EXPUSE # is already there. It should be located next to the Paypal transaction entry in your account.

You can also try calling Unionbank's Customer Service and ask for your EXPUSE number. You can check their hotline # at the back of the card or call 84-186.

5. Once you have the number, go back to your Paypal account overview and click on Finish Expanded Use Enrollment. Usually, though, once you login, Paypal will prompt you with the screen where you should enter the 4-digit EXPUSE number.

6. After entering the EXPUSE number, Paypal will give you a confirmation that your debit/credit card has been verified and that's it! Your account is already verified! Now, the liimts on how much you transfer or withdraw will be lifted and you can use it for online shopping!
