Using Paypal with Metrobank
I’ve been using my metrobank savings account with paypal for almost 4 months now and its all good.
I opened up my metrobank account because I was to lazy cashing in checks from my client every month and I have to endure the long lines and lack of sleep. So anyway I found out that they have online tool too! I was like OMG!!!! give me one! so I opened up with just 2,000 pesos and after waiting some time its all good.
Ok, in order for you guys to successfully integrate your Metrobank account to paypal here’s what you need to do.
1) You have to have a metrobank direct access. This is what metrobank call its online access.
Once you have that, enroll your account and you can now pay your bills online, check your balance (or lack thereof) and apply for what ever loans you might have.
2) Open a paypal account.
Once you have your paypal account add your Account number.
Then paypal will ask you for the bank code and the bank code is 010269996 and select METROPOLITAN BANK & TRUST CO
When you withdraw your money, always do it by thursday so that you can have your funds on Monday
Expect 4 business days to have paypal process your money and deposit on your account. If you see your withdrawal request to be completed and its not yet deposited on your account. Fret not as either tomorrow or the next day it will be on your account at around 10 pm.
I just love Metrobank at the moment. I love BPI Family bank too for issuing me a checking account for only 5000 pesos! Now let me try issuing checks non chalantly. ahihihi.

May kinakaltas ba ang metrobank tuwing nagtratransfer ka ng paypal funds sa account mo? Kasi based sa research ko online, Unionbank lang yun hindi nagkakaltas.

mababa lang ‘yong dollar exchange rate ng metrobank kaya maliit lang nakukuha but I don’t know if they have hidden charges.

The 50 pesos is the fee charged by PayPal when you withdraw amounts less than P7000, right?
What about Metrobank? Does it deduct some fee from the transferred amount? Is the deduction a flat fee or is it based on the amount transferred?

yes 50 pesos nawawala eh. Tapos syempre the conversion.

Hi, how do you apply for a metrobankdirect account? I can’t withdraw my money on paypal though I linked my Metrobank savings account, hinihingi nila yung credit or debit card ko which is wala naman, kaya nga ako naglink ng savings account.

You can apply for the metrobankdirect by going to the bank and filing up some form. They will give you your initial password then viola wait for it.
You need to also have a verified account to withdraw money though.

hi,
i just want to ask if you used credit card to verify your paypal account? i have researched that there would be a $1 plus charge to the credit card but would be given back to the paypal account for some time. would there be any future charges to the credit card if you used it to verify paypal account?
also, can i link Metrobank dollar savings account to paypal account?

yes, I used HSBC to verify my paypal account. They will charge you of $1 something but it will be refunded to you once maverify na yong account mo. No, wala silang future charges.

@gillbates: aside from the Php50 that Paypal deducts for withdrawals less than 7,000Php, Metrobank deducts Php77 for every transaction.
BPI charges Php150, according to a friend.
@Op3r: so you didn’t use any credit/debit card to verify your account? I tried linking my metrobank ATM, pero nakalagay dun I need to lift my limit, kaya kelangan verified sya. waah! so ganun, pwede pala. gumastos pa ko ng Php350 para sa EON ko. huhu

I used Unionbank EON like 3 years ago to have my account verified. I mostly used my paypal account for some online shopping lang dati.

I have applied for Metrobankdirect and it has been confirmed…but still i can’t be able to withdraw money from my paypal..panu ba talaga to?do i have to wait for how many days to withdraw from my paypal to my metrobank account?

Let’s get verified
There are 2 ways to get verified
* Using your credit/debit card
* Using your bank account*
*Bank verification is not available for PayPal accounts registered in India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, “”"Philippines”"”" and Vietnam.
So it means na hinde tlga pwede mgverify sa paypal using bank account sa pinas. U need to verify using credit or debit card and then add your atm or bank account kung gus2 mo dun iwithdraw

hi!
just wanna know if once you’re able to link your metrobank account with Paypal by entering your account number, bank code, etc in the “withdraw” tab, how long will it take for you to see if it was linked successfully? ive used EON in my previous transactions and it’s just the first time that I’m attempting to withdraw my money from Paypal to my Metrobank account (using BRSTN 010269996). Transfered $500 on to my Metrobank account but after half an hour, the status is still PENDING (in the transaction tab of my Paypal account), is it really like that? it’s just 7 in the morning and I’m wondering if I should just wait for 24-48 hrs before I can actually see if the transfer was successful. With EON, you can already see if the transfer went through in less than half an hour. I’m hoping it’s but normal to wait 24-48 hrs before seeing the status if the transfer was successful.. any thoughts?
thanks!

just an update. transfer was successful.. only took total of 4 days and i was able to withdraw the money already. thanks!
