How to link your Unionbank Eon card to your Paypal?
1. Enroll your eon card
Go to unionbankph.com click “eon (at the top of the page),” then “cyber account log in” and click enroll.2. Sign-up to paypal and confirm your email address.
After sign up, Paypal will automatically send you an email that needs to be confirmed.
3. Input your bank details.
How? Simply log in to your Paypal account, click “Profile tab” and then click “Bank account” and there you go fill in the form accordingly. (take note: your paypal account name and bank account name must be the same to avoid future problems.)
4. Add your debit card.
Just click the “unverify” in your status column, located at the bottom of your name.That’s it, fill in again the form correctly and then confirm. After confirmation, paypal will deduct exactly P101.00, from your eon debit card for the purpose of further confirmation, but it will be credited as your paypal balance.
If you are successful proceed to the next step below. However, if you encountered an error such as “ your credit card is blocked,” try again. Nevertheless, if error persists, you need to talk to your bank, in this case the unionbank where you got your eon debit card. The possible problem is that, your eon debit card was frozen by the bank (meaning you can deposit, but you cannot withdraw and link your eon to your paypal). Why? It simply because you did not receive their letter. Yes! As far as I know, Unionbank will send a letter to the address you stated in your application form after you are being approved. Don’t worry, they can fix it in just a matter of hours. I think its time to finish this of.
5. Verify your debit card
Here we go, after adding your debit card as what I have said earlier, paypal will deduct something 100.00, to make a transaction record in your eon online account. In this transaction paypal will send you the what we call expuse code, it is a four digit and its all numbers usually after the asterisk sign(*). Now login to your eon account and click the transaction summary. Look for the paypal transaction and copy the four numbers. Then login to your paypal account click “unverify” and paste the four numbers…Voila!! That’s it you can now use your paypal in full force.

Hi!. I’m linking my eon card to my PayPal account. the thing is that when I’m linking my card, this caption always appears ” invalid or partial credit or debit card number”. I’m confused. What will I input. is it the 12 digits or the 16 digit number?. thank you
Hello Khaleila, If you add a bank account it’s the 12 digit account number but if you add a card it’s the 16 digit card number.
Good day, i am just confused.. Shall i use the link a bank account or link a credit card account? Both options doesn’t seem to work.. Thanks a lot
Hi Dennis, you need to link both. Remember that in the credit card you need to input the 16 digit card number and in the bank account you need to input the 12 digit account number.
Hi! Thanks for this. I just got my Unionbank Eon Card. I now know the possible reason why I can’t link my Eon Card to Paypal yet. It’s maybe because I haven’t receive their letter yet. This message always appear when I tried to link it:
“The bank that issued your card didn’t approve this transaction. Please contact the card issuer’s customer service department if you have any questions. Or you can add a different card now to continue.”
By the way, how many days before the letter arrives. Hoping after receiving their letter, there will be no problem linking it. I’ll use my home address that I stated in the bank as my billing address when I’ll link to Paypal. Hope this won’t be a problem.
Hi Dhave,
You can go to your nearest Unionbank and they will fix that issue. In my case, I did not received the letter, I don’t know why. So, I went to Unionbank and explain my concern. The problem was solved in just for a few hours. Sorry I forgot the exact number of hours.
Hi!
Is it possible that I link my EON to my Paypal as an ordinary bank account and not as a Visa Card. If it is, does it involve the same process? Thanks!
hello, EON card is also a Visa card, that’s why PayPal accepts it. If it’s not a VISA I don’t think an international company/money transfer like PayPal will accept it. So, by linking your EON it means you are linking your Visa Debit card with PayPal.
Hi there,
Other banks such as BPI, when you link your paypal account to their card, there is like 21 days clearing period. Would I be able to use my paypal right away and transfer money to union bank card in case a client from the US pays me for my services?
Hi, there will be 2 to 4 days of clearing period but it’s better compared to 21 days.
“Enter your address of record at UnionBank as your billing address that appears in your monthly statement, and for EON Visa Electron, use the address found in the profile page at the unionbankph.com online banking site.”
I cannot find the said address,
and I do not really understand this. (from union Bank Website).
Thank You.
Helo Gabby, in enrolling your EON or linking it to your Paypal, you should use the same address as what you stated, when you apply for an EON account at the bank.
