   Paypal is the safest site for online transactions. Receiving and sending money is just one click and done. However, some beginners are having a hard time choosing what Paypal account type are perfect for them.
Here is guide on how to open a paypal account.


  First you need to go their website at www.paypal.com. Look for the sign-up button.Choose what account type are pefect for you, but first you need to select your country you are located.

    There are three Paypal account types you can choose from. Personal, Premier and Business.

    Personal Account - obviously this account is just for personal purposes.

    

    Premier Account - this is perfect for online sellers and buyers. People who have online jobs also

                            chooses this account type to send their income. I suggest using this account because you 

                            revert your account back to Personal account.

    Business Account - this is for big companies who wants to send cash tom multiple users in one click.

    Fill up necessary requirements and informations asked by Paypal. All information should be correct. Some 

users are having trouble with their banks because they submit wring information. Protect your password, like online banking, Paypal is also prone to hacking, make your password strong, meaning it may consist of Alphanemeric and high case letters. When you finish click Submit and go to your mail for verification. Now you're already have a Paypal Account, but that's not enough you should make your account verified to fully use Paypal.

    I recently post steps on verifying Paypal in the Philippines using RCBC MyWallet. You can also use Unionbank Eon Card or Smart Money Card. Go here>> Verify Paypal using RCBC MyWallet  

To transfer funds from Paypal to your local bank account, you need to add your bank. To do this, go to your Profile and click Add Bank. Paypal will ask you your Bank Name, Bank Code and your Account number. If you don't know your bank codes, you can refer to my recent blog post.  Philippine Bank Codes

List of Philippine Bank Codes

Bank Codes are needed in all online banking and online transaction. Paypal, the commonly used website for all online transaction, also requires you to put your local bank codes. I prefer sending my money directly on my bank account. Usually it takes 5-7 days for my money to arrive on my Debit Card that's why I decided to add my BPI Bank Account on my Paypal. All you have to do is type the name of the bank(complete name) and the bank code. Here is the updated list of bank codes in the Philippines.

BANK OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLAND - 010040018
BANCO DE ORO - 010530667
METROPOLITAN BANK & TRUST COMPANY - 010269996
PHILIPPINE NATIONAL BANK - 010080010
UNION BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES - 010419995
ALLIED BANKING CORPORATION   - 010320013
RIZAL COMMERCIAL BANKING CORPORATION - 010280014
LANDBANK OF THE PHILIPPINES - 010350025
EAST WEST BANK - 010620014

HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI BANK   -   010060014

Codes are subject to change. Please call your local bank hotline just to be sure.

Bank of the Philippine Islands and BPI Family Savings Bank codes are the just the same. Please leave comments if any of the bank codes have already been updated or changed. Thank You!
