There is probably nothing worse that could happen to a freelancer than not being able to take hold of his or her hard-earned cash. This is especially true in times of emergency. Well, with the Unionbank EON card, getting your money fast should no longer be a problem.
In Freelance Blend Podcast episode 164, you learned how to set up and activate your Unionbank EON Card. In case you missed that episode, you can watch the vlog here.
In this new episode, you are going to learn how to withdraw money from your PayPal account to your Unionbank EON card. As you will see, this process is really quite fast. What will take some time is linking your PayPal account with your Unionbank EON card.
Follow the steps below and you’ll be able to access your funds in no time.
A Step-by-step Guide to Linking Your PayPal Account with Your Unionbank EON Card
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Go to Balance.
- Click “Add a new card.”
- Using the information in your Unionbank EON card, fill up the form, which asks for your card number, card type (Visa), expiration date, and its security code.
- Type your billing address.
- Then click “Link card.”
- This will lead you to a page which tells you that your Unionbank EON card was successfully linked. On this page, click “Done.”
- Back in your Balance page, you’ll see that your Unionbank EON card is now included under your credit and debit cards. However, you will also notice that PayPal requires you to confirm that your card will be used to receive money from Paypal with no spending or withdrawal limits. To go through this confirmation process, click your Unionbank EON card.
- For confirmation to happen, you will have to request a code from PayPal. When you request a code, PayPal will charge Php 100 to your card. This charge will appear within 5-7 business days and its statement includes the code needed to confirm your card.
- Use the code to confirm your card. Once confirmation is successful, PayPal will refund your Php 100.
Now that you know how to link your PayPal account with your Unionbank EON card, you can go ahead and withdraw your money. To do this, follow these steps.
A Step-by-step Guide to Withdrawing Funds from Your PayPal Account to Your Unionbank EON card
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Go to Summary.

- Click “Continue.”
- You will be directed to a Review page where you can check if the details you’ve entered are accurate. If you’ve entered a dollar amount in the previous page, this page will also show you the equivalent peso amount you will receive in your local EON card.
