Sure, verifying your Paypal account can be easy. However, not all freelancers and freelancers-to-be own a credit card. In that case, there's another convenient option which you can do to verify your Paypal account. This is by using Unionbank Eon Debit Card. Unionbank is a Philippine bank that holds a tie-up with Paypal. Using this card, you can not only verify your account, you can also withdraw your earnings using this debit card.
If you still don't have a Unionbank Eon Debit Card, you may need to go to your nearest Unionbank branch to open an account. In my case, I just applied for a Unionbank debit card when the credit card attached to my Paypal account expired. And since I no longer use that credit card, I need to attach a new credit card or Unionbank debit card. Since I don't have a credit card that time, I decided to apply for a Unionbank Eon debit card. Aside from that, I want to try withdrawing my earnings using the debit card and see whether transaction is faster here than my Metrobank ATM card.
For those who already have a debit card, verifying is just a few steps away. Since the debit card is Visa, it works like a credit card when you use it to verify your Paypal account. Here are the steps in verifying your Paypal account using Unionbank Eon Debit Card:
1. Log-on to your Paypal account. For Odesk users, you need to link your Odesk account to your Paypal account.
2. After logging in, you'll be able to see your Account Overview. You will see a link that says Verify your account. Click it.
3. You will have to enter your Debit card details on the form provided. Make sure you enter the accurate information.
4. After you enter your debit card details, Paypal will ask for the 4-digit code. At this point, you don't need to wait for a statement or bill in order to get the code because nothing's coming and you don't have to do that. Paypal will charge $1.95 to your debit card which has to be initially loaded. Again, don't worry because it will be credited back to your Paypal account once the verification is complete.
So how do you get the code?
5. You will have to access your Unionbank Eon account online in order to get the code. Log-in to your Unionbank Eon account.
6. Click Accounts.
7. On the transaction history, you will find the Visa EXPUSE (Expanded Use) charge. There you will see the 4-digit code you need to verify your account.
