GSIS eCard Plus can be used to withdraw funds from PayPal
For Philippine users:
Are you looking for ways to withdraw funds from your PayPal account? PMT talks about several ways to withdraw funds.
My PayPal was verified however I could not withdraw funds from it because I used an American Express card to validate it. I tried the Xoom method but sadly, they have cancelled intra-Philippine transactions. Good thing my mom has a GSIS eCard Plus which I found out as a new way to withdraw my funds.
What is GSIS eCard Plus?
The GSIS eCard Plus is a VISA-powered card and is the official GSIS membership identification card of government employees. Just like any other government-issued ID card, the GSIS eCard Plus is widely accepted as proof of identification for whatever legal transactions.

Apart from being an ID, you can also use the GSIS eCard Plus as:

I have not tried it but I think you can also use it. It’s VISA powered so it should be possible.
problem is gsis ecard is a debit card. so they don’t send bills. Paypal prompted me that paypal code is reflected on the bill.

I think if you have an amount on any debit card, you can use it to verify the account.
You can apply for and EON debit card which was successfully used by some Philippine Paypal users to verify their accounts. You can go to the Unionbank website and apply for a cyberaccount. Instructions are stated to guide you with your application process.
saan po ba makikita yung account number o account ID ng Ecard. Kasi di ko maeenroll online kasi invalid account ID daw. 12 characters yung account number n nakalagay. Eh 11 lang yung nasa ilalaim ng name sa card. Alin ba dun yung account number?
Yung card number na nasa ilalim ng picture mo. Ung malaki ang pagkasulat. Refer to the figure above.
Di naman account no. yung nasa ilalim eh, kasi 12 digits yung account no. na required para maeenroll online yung ecard sa ebanking.unionbankph.com. Anyway, nakuha na po ng nanay ko yung accnt no. ng ecard nya, sa union bank pala kukuhanin yun. Thanks
But that’s what I used when I tried to add the card on my paypal account.
Oo nga po, kailangan iyong no. na nasa ilalim ng picture nyo para maiadd sa paypal, pero CREDIT CARD NO. po tawag dun, 16 digits po iyun. Ang sinasabi ko po eh yung ACCOUNT NO. na 12 digits na kailangan naman sa ebanking.unionbankph.com, para maeenroll ko po dun. At naeenroll ko na po.
Oh. Ok. I thought you were talking about adding your ecard to your Paypal account. Anyway, good thing you found your account number.
