I spent my time reading too much of EON Card horror stories and realized that I was just scaring myself. Boo.
Anyway, I’m excited to let my visitors know that I’m officially a verified Pay Pal user since yesterday. Thank you, EON Card. I was too excited that I asked my friend Sarah to try my account out by sending me some monies. She run a contest last year, which I won but because I live in this third world country and did not have Pay Pal, I can’t ask her to send my prize yet. So I told her about my exciting story and asked again if she’s still going to send my prize. I read her reply and she said she already sent out the money. I checked my balance and it’s there already. harhar.
For those Filipinos who still don’t have their pay pal account verified yet, this entry is for you. This is my version of the step-by-step procedure, all right?
- Get Unionbank’s EON Card Cyber Account. Get this debit card either by signing up online through their official website or go to the nearest branch.
- After five working days, you have to call the branch where you applied in. It’s very important to call them because I did not. lol. You will end up waiting and waiting. I was dumb that I thought they’re going to call me. Yeah, call them and ask them if your EON card is ready to pick up.
- When you are ready to pick up your EON card, go to the branch, go to their New Accounts or ask the security guard where you could claim your EON card. Present your two valid IDs and Php350.00 for the card’s annual fee. Also, it’s very important again to deposit at least Php150.00 in your EON card, especially if you are going to apply for Pay Pal.
- Wait for three days for your EON card to be activated. You may call the branch or call their hotline to confirm.
- If your EON card is activated already, go to Unionbank website and enroll for a eon cyber account. Be ready with your card and account number and pin. Also, think of your user ID, this user ID will be your new username next time you log in to access your accounts online. Wait for three to five days to be activated. Again, call their hotline to confirm.
- When everything is activated, you may enroll in Pay Pal. They are going to charge you 1.95 USD and wait three to five working days to get your Expanded Use Number from Unionbank. In my case, I sent a message to EON Services (you may send messages through your account online) and asking for my Expanded Use Number. I just waited for a couple of days only, I checked my account online through Unionbank’s website and saw a response.
- Copy and paste the 4-digit Expanded Use Number in your Pay Pal account and you are done. Verified!
Important: Deposit at least Php150.00 in your EON card and your EON card should be activated. If you failed to do this, your EON card will be denied by Pay Pal.
Okay. Do you love me now?
