UPDATE: This post was created last 2011 and Paypal verification process using "BDO ATM debit card with MasterCard logo" may no longer work now. My account was verified using this card way back in 2011. However, I cannot guarantee if the process still works up to this date. If you keep getting errors then use a different card.
To verify Paypal account using your BDO ATM debit card, you must have an account with Paypal.
You must have a BDO debit card. If you don't have one, go to the nearest BDO branch and apply.
Remember that all the info particularly the name and address on your application form for ATM Debit Card must be the same as the name and address you have registered on your PayPal account.
First, register to BDO internet banking for easier access of your account. Click here for a detailed process of BDO internet banking enrollment.
Go to https://www.paypal.com, login to your PayPal account and click "Get Verified."
Make sure that your BDO account has at least 200Php which will be used for PayPal account verification. Paypal will deduct $1.95 in your account just to make sure that the bank account you have entered is really yours. Rest assured that the amount deducted will be credited back to your PayPal fund within 24 hours once the account is verified.
Enter your bdo card number, select "Mastercard" for the card type, enter the expiry date and add the 3 Digit Card Security Code found at the back of your BDO atm debit card. Then click continue. It will ask for a 4 digit pin code, also called as the expuse number, just skip it for now.
Log-in to your bdo internet banking. Hover on "My Portfolio" then click "My Transactions." Set the date to "Last 7 Days." Look for a transaction line similar to POS W/D SV PP (1234 E 3xxxxxxxxx MC SGP 0xxxxxxxxxxx). Your 4-digit pin code in that instance is 1234.
Back to your PayPal account, enter the 4-digit pin code and click verify/continue. Whoala! You are now a verified Paypal member!
We know that it is not necessary to be a verified member in order to use Paypal for online transactions, but verification has a lot of benefits. Verified members have no sending and receiving limits. You can also easily withdraw money from your PayPal account directly to your bank. You can fund your PayPal payments from your bank account or debit card. Lastly, having a verified Paypal account increases your credibility as an online buyer or seller.
Great post! Now I can verify my PayPal using my BDO debit card. Thank you. I think I'm falling in love with you.
ReplyDeletewhere can I find the expiration of my card?
DeleteI have my name and address all match with my BDO atm debit card details against paypal accounts but still gets the same error. I guess, most have the same problem... what can be the reason? It's frustrating....
ReplyDeleteSo I cannot use my mothers BDO debit card? because the name on my paypal account is my name right? Please reply..
ReplyDeleteRight James. All info from the ATM Debit Card must be the same with the name and address of your registered PayPal account.
ReplyDeleteThere is a field in paypal get verified form (below card type combo box) that I need to put card number, what is that card number? is that the number in front of the card? or the account number?
ReplyDeleteThanks for answer, I still have some questions for you, hehe. I am in the process of getting verified my moms BDO card, as of now I am in the process of activating her BDO internet banking. After I signed up to BDO, there is a form that tells that I need to go to BDO branch and go to ATM Machine then go to Other Services->Activate Internet Banking and I need to enter the code they provided for me. What I am going to do first? this one or to submit first the form with attached signature of my mom? Thank you very much..
ReplyDeleteHi James, BDO has updated their Internet Banking Application. If your Mom has a BDO ATM card, there's no need to forward the application form to any BDO branch. Please follow the steps in this link http://meetjoyce.blogspot.com/2012/08/bdo-internet-banking-enrollment.html
ReplyDeleteHello, last question about I posted above, what is the card number in that field? card number in front of the card? or the account number? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat's the credit or debit card number, not the account number :)
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, I'm at my wit's end here, I badly need you help. I recently applied for a BDO savings account and I activated my BDO Internet Banking just now, I still keep getting error on my Paypal verification process. "We were unable to verify this credit card. Please check if the information you entered is correct. Please also make sure your credit card billing address matches your PayPal street address." that's the message I keep getting. Hoping your immediate reply. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Bern, I'm not really certain why you keep getting that error. I would assume you entered all the details correctly. I've verified my Paypal account pretty smoothly before. If you'd still get the same error even if you followed the instructions correctly then I would advise you to call PayPal or BDO directly to check what's wrong. You may be using a diff card, or it is also possible that Paypal is more strict now in their account verification.
ReplyDeleteHey maida=) I'm just looking for information online about bdo debit cards and I found you instead haha! - Kid UAL 31.1
ReplyDeleteHi! I would like to ask if BDO Debit Card could still be used for Paypal Transactions? I tried registering my bdo debit card but failed multiple times. Is bdo atm debit card VISA or Mastercard?
ReplyDeleteHoping for your help. Thank you
The card I've used to verify my Paypal account way back in 2011 was a BDO atm debit card (with a MasterCard logo). But many people seem to have problems with using that now (for reasons I do not know), so I suggest you use a diff card if you're having problems with it.
ReplyDeleteHi MJ , Im using the ATM BDO Debit Card (Visa Logo) of my brother then am trying to verified it but this error comes up
ReplyDelete"This credit card has been denied by the bank that issued your credit card. For details on why your card was denied, please contact your credit card issuer's customer service department. Or, you may want to try adding a different credit card."
in First name [Textfield] i use his [F]name.
How's that? Thanks.
If your using your brother's account and you should make a paypal account that has same information in your brother's bank account
DeleteBANK and Paypal is checking the difference of the two account if it is not the same they will reject it
I tried looking for POS W/D SV PP in my internet banking but it shows something like this.. W/D FR SV BDO i really wanna verify my paypal account. :(
ReplyDeleteThen use EON debit card instead of BDO for verifying your paypal account. Tried and tested na yon. :)
ReplyDeleteSAAN BA MAKIKITa yung security code sa card 4 digit kasi yung nandito saken

ReplyDeleteDid someone already managed to verify using their BDO ATM Debit Card this past months? And can I use a peso saving account to verify?
ReplyDeleteHello maam, Where can I find the expiry date of the card? It's not in the card. Are there other ways to know the expiry date without going to the bank and asking? Thanks for your answer! :)

ReplyDeletein case you are an eBay person then you definitely know that there is no way around the usage of PayPal. PayPal basically owns you, and your eBay account. They control what you promote, the way you promote it, and when you get your cash which you have earned from promoting. how to make paypal in pakistan
