Bank Codes for PayPal Philippines

Posted on February 2nd, 2008. Written by Rico.

Getting PayPal to work with your local bank account requires providing your bank’s code. We doubt that Mike Abundo’s assertion “some local banks refuse to reveal these” holds any truth, but we still thank him for calling our attention to PayPal’s infinitely useful resource. Without further ado, here are the codes:

Whatever. I know the conversation I had with a certain UnionBank customer service agent.

I just learned this from a fellow blogger. Before she even viewed the list of codes, she followed her hunch that the 9 digit code in her cheque is the same 9 digit code PayPal is referring to. It turns out right for her. I think her bank is BPI. I haven’t tried this one yet since my other (checking) bank accounts are not in the list. I’ll try to check this on Monday and let you know. ;)

Mike: It’s doubtful that an erring CSA would be representative of a whole company, or a whole industry for that matter. Nevertheless, I do agree that it’s the bank’s responsibility to keep its staff informed.

mEl: Thanks, if it’s true, that would be valuable information. :)

Hey Rico,

I tried asking my sister who has a BDO Acct and found out that only the first 5 digits are the same with the official listing given by PayPal. I tried looking at my Philam Cheque books (from 2 different branches – Makati and Alabang) and only the first five digits are the same. Then I found an RCBC cheque from PLDT, RT No. found in that cheque is the same as the one published by PayPal.

So what do you think?

Based on your info, I think it’s better to just ask your bank for the code. The list above is also a helpful reference. :)

Thanks Mel!
