Is your Paypal account limited and not yet verified?

Don't worry. In this this blog, you will learn that Paymaya can now be use to verify your PayPal account.

Why should you  verify Paypal using Paymaya?

Verifying your Paypal account using Paymaya removes limits to your Paypal account such as limited send money and withdrawal transactions.

How to Verify Paypal using Paymaya:

1. Maintain ₱150 Paymaya balance.

Before linking your card, make sure you have at least ₱150 in your Paymaya account for you to successfully link your Paymaya card to Paypal.

The first ₱50 will be charged by Paypal when linking your card while the ₱100 will be used to get the Paypal code you will used to confirm your Paymaya card.

Don't worry because the ₱50 will be refunded instantly while the ₱100 refund may take up to 1-7 business days.

If you will link your Paymaya mastercard or any physical card to Paypal, make sure also that you have linked it already to your Paymaya account.

2. Log in to Paypal.

3. Click the 'Wallet' link on the Menu button from the upper-right part of your Paypal dashboard.

4. Click 'Link a credit card'.

Take note that you can link your physical and virtual Paymaya cards to your Paypal account.

5. Link your real card details.

Enter your 16-digit card number as it appears on your card.

After inputting your card number, it will be automatically detected as Visa card type. 

Next is input your card validity. The first two digits is the month while the last two digits is the year. So if for example you card's validity is until May 2025, just enter 05/25.

Then after that, input your security code or CVV. CVV is the 3-digit code unique to each card and it's very crucial code in keeping your card secure so make sure that it's secretly covered and don't share it with anyone else.

And then, the last one is the billing address. Make sure to input the billing address exactly as it appears on your Paymaya physical/virtual card(s) to avoid being rejected.

Then hit 'Link Card'. 

You will be charged ₱50 on your Paymaya account as part of the linking process but Paypal will refund it to you in a minute.

6. Confirm your card.

After linking your card, make sure to  confirm it by inputting the 4-digit Paypal code that appeared on your card statement.

You will also see the 4-digit code via text message sent to you by Paymaya, like this.

If you didn't received your Paypal code, you may contact Paymaya support.

If you've successfully linked your card to Paypal, you can now withdraw your Paypal funds to your Paymaya account and remove temporary limits.
