How to Transfer Money From PayPal to BPI
A lot of Filipino Paypal users may not realize this, but they can turn their PayPal funds into physical cash by transferring it to their local bank. The only thing stopping them is the concern that the transfer may not be successful or that an error may occur which may lead to the possibility of the money being lost in cyberspace. This article contains step-by-step instruction on how to safely transfer money from PayPal to Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), a local bank here in the Philippines.
Here is what you can expect to learn from this Paypal to BPI transfer guide:
- How to withdraw PayPal funds to BPI
- How to verify and fund your PayPal account using BPI
- Tips, things to remember, and requirements when withdrawing PayPal funds
It is also important to note that the steps mentioned here apply only to BPI. While the steps may also be somewhat applicable to other local Philippine banks such as Metrobank, BDO, Unionbank, etc., there will likely be many differences in those processes as well. For instance, the bank routing number (9 digit bank code), number of processing days, processing fees, etc. mentioned here apply only to BPI.
Lastly, since we are on the topic of withdrawing money, I will also briefly discuss some of my methods for depositing or transferring money into my Paypal account.
Requirements for Withdrawing From Paypal to BPI
Before withdrawing PayPal funds to a BPI savings account, be sure that you have the following requirements:
- The correct bank routing code, also called the 9-digit bank code (please be advised that this is not the same as the card number or the account number).
- The registered name with PayPal must match with the one on the bank account.
- The bank account must be active and working.
- Your PayPal account must be verified.
- The savings or ATM account to which money will be transferred to must first be added to your PayPal account (see steps below).
Once the above requirements are accomplished, the user may now proceed with the funds transfer.
Steps to Link a BPI Savings Account to PayPal
- Log in to your verified Paypal account.
- Click the Profile menu which is part of the “My Account” section.
- A drop-down box will appear. Choose “Add/Edit Bank Account.”
- Fill in the necessary information about your BPI savings (ATM) account.
Note: PayPal funds will be transferred to a savings or ATM account, not your credit card account.
Steps to Transfer Paypal Funds to BPI
Withdrawing funds from Paypal to BPI (or any other local banks for that matter) is relatively easy. The option is easily viewable and accessible once a user logs in to his or her PayPal account.
- Click the “Withdraw" button. It can be found near the “Add Funds” and “History” buttons.
- After clicking "Withdraw," you will be directed to a page where you must choose whether to withdraw the money to a bank account or to a registered PayPal card. For our purposes, we will choose the former.
- After selecting the “Withdraw to Bank" option, you will be directed to the following page (pictured below).
- Be sure to double-check that the important fields are entered correctly. Make sure the amount to be withdrawn and the appropriate bank are selected. Check that the last four digits correspond to the last four digits of your bank account.
- After double-checking the mentioned fields, proceed by clicking on the “submit” button.
As can be seen in the screenshot above, I am withdrawing $290 to my BPI ATM account. Even though it is possible to fund your PayPal account with your credit card, the bulk of my PayPal funds ($290) are coming from other online sources like HubPages, oDesk, and YoHoHoN.
Review Your Withdrawal Information
Before finalizing the transaction, PayPal will ask you to verify again if all information is correct. Below is a screenshot of the particular page.
This is your last chance to edit the transaction. Be sure that all info is correct before proceeding.
Your Request is Being Processed
This screen is the last portion of the transaction. This part will ask you if you want to visit the details of the withdrawal request or if you would like to go back to your account overview page.
Transaction Details
If you choose the first option, here is a screenshot example of what the transaction details look like.
How Do You Know If the Transfer Is Successful?
To know if a PayPal to BPI fund transfer is successful, simply check your bank balance or ask for a copy of the statement balance. By the way, the transaction will fall under the remittance category. As can be seen in the photo below, there is a banking fee of 150 pesos for the transaction.
As you can see in the first picture, the original amount supposed to be given by PayPal has had 150 pesos deducted, and it took three days to process—which is actually relatively fast and hassle-free.
Common Questions About Paypal to BPI Transfers
Is there a preferred time to begin the transfer?
Do the transfer on a Monday. Avoid letting the transaction process pass over a weekend or holiday if possible.
How do you put money into PayPal?
There are many ways to put money into Paypal. My favorite one is the BPI Credit Card.
How can I use BPI credit cards with PayPal?
As mentioned in this article, BPI savings and ATM accounts are mainly used to withdraw money from PayPal. However, BPI credit cards can also be used to:
- Verify a PayPal account
- Make online purchases after it has been linked
- Fund a PayPal account
How can I add, link, and verify PayPal with a BPI credit card?
When you use your BPI credit card to verify your PayPal account, it will automatically become linked to your PayPal account.
Below are the steps on how to do so:
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Click “Profile” (described in the earlier section of this article).
- Select “Add / Edit Credit Card.”
- Choose the appropriate card type (either MasterCard or Visa).
- Enter the necessary details and follow on-screen instructions.
When the above steps are completed, PayPal will charge you 150 pesos, which will be reflected in the billing statement (this amount will be refunded by PayPal). There is actually a code that must be inputted to finalize linking the credit card and completing the process. The code can be distinguished with the prefix “PP” (this step is also mentioned on PayPal’s instruction page).
More Tips and Suggestions
- Experiment first with a small amount and to see if it will be successful.
- Take detailed pictures (screenshots) of the transaction.
- Use a BPI eCredit Card. (BPI eCredit Card is BPI’s way of dedicating a credit card solely for online purchases. Anyone can get this as long they have a primary credit card.)
- BPI prepaid credit cards can also be used. But when using them, make sure that there is at least a 150 balance on the BPI prepaid credit card.
- To view the statement balance of the prepaid credit card and retrieve the code, the owner must enroll the account on BPI’s online portal or call the customer service number.
- It is actually more advisable to use a prepaid credit card to ensure that you stay within your budget. I put a limit on my eCredit Card to prevent possible insurmountable charges.
Using GCash and RCBC
As of September 2019, it is now possible to verify a PayPal account using GCash and RCBC.

Questions & Answers
Based on your experience how long does a transfer from Paypal take to arrive in your bpi acc? I read some people complaining that sometimes 7 days after transfer, still nothing arrived at their account.
Hmmm, that is strange. The longest that I have to wait is 3 days. Sometimes, when I do it at early morning (local time), I would receive it during the afternoon

Hello.. I connected my paypal to my BPI mastercard last week. The paypal emailed and said that paypal is now connected but when I try to use my BPI card it always says "unable to process".

Hi Diane Arnesto. I understand that you are unable to withdraw PayPal funds transferred to BPI Family Savings Bank. If the funds is already transferred to your BPI account, you can simply withdraw it from any BPI ATM machines.
Hi Glenn. It depends on the bank if they allow this. It is possible that one bank allows it, but the other bank does not. This may likely fail the transaction.

Hi Angelika Salvador --
That could be a possible reason. To isolate, you can try withdrawing to Gcash if it would be successful. Here are the steps http://mixjikz.blogspot.com/2017/02/how-to-withdra...
If it pushes through, then the name mismatch might be the culprit
Hi Mandirigma --
The 9 digit bank code is also called the bank routing code.
As for the ATM, it cannot be used to verify a Paypal account. Refer to the link at the bottom/ending portion of the post to use Gcash to verify your Paypal account

Hi Marie -- Yup, each withdrawal transaction will cost 150. But I think there's a minimum withrawal amount though. I'm not familiar with Kaya but it may as long as it is a BPI savings account. However, you may also opt to use GCash instead. I posted a complete guide above for such inquiries :)

Hi, I successfully linked my BPI savings to Paypal, when I WD it was rejected due to "invalid bank info" so I was charged (250p) + (50p)processing fee. Of course I am sure my info matched until I found out that in Paypal my bank shows Checking instead of Savings. There is no option to choose between savings or checking it also didn't ask at first when I am trying add my bank to choose savings or checking, it was set to checking automatically I think that's causing the problem. ANy idea how to change checking to savings? Thanks a lot :-)

i just wanted to ask if its possible or does PayPal accept BPI Express Teller International Debit Card, but it doesn't have a Master card or Visa Card logo, but a Cirrus logo instead. Because i have once tried to transfer my PayPal funds to this ATM card but it has been 4 days and there is no money in my bank account. And they also reversed the transaction and sent back my money to my PayPal account. So i'm wondering if they accept this type of debit card. I also wanted to try it again withdrawing my funds to the bank account but i wanted to know those things first because they might charge me 250 pesos if an error occurs again. Thanks and I'll be waiting for a quick response. :)

Simply open a savings account at BPI. Link that one to Paypal, and when successful, you may now transfer your Paypal funds to that BPI savings account
Hi Twix,
I think that one is a BPI ATM card for a savings account. If so, you cannot use it to verify your Paypal nor use it for funding.

To clarify, you used a savings account or a checking account? I think checking accounts are not good

If the transaction will fail, Paypal would inform you. If it has been too long already, send them an email if the transaction pushed through or otherwise.

Hi. I called the BPI branch where I opened my account and they gave me a different bank code. They gave me the code specifically for their branch where I opened my account. Is that ok to use? Or should I use this one in your post?
Tried Dexter's advise above last night/earlier today. I transferred my Paypal balance to my BPI Easy Savers Account at around 2:30am, but no luck for me (haha) It's now 5:35pm and the transfer is not in my BPI account yet.
Hopefully next week. This is my first time transferring Paypal funds to a local bank account, I'm hoping that it will be successful and will encounter no errors. *crossing fingers*
Do I really need to have a credit card in order to verify my PayPal Account?
Hi! Can I use EPS card to my paypal account?

Hi Camille,
Have the funds arrived?
Hi NS5Dev,
That's interesting. Hope some readers who did so would share their experience.
Hi BeriAckerman,
Yes you can.
The ePrepaid Card is use for verifying your account and for online purchases.
The BPI ATM Card (assuming it is a savings account) is used for transferring your Paypal funds to that particular account.

Hi Chamie,
There are slight changes but the essence is still the same.
Hi Riri,
The email verification is different from the actual verification. The former is just to ensure that noone is spamming by making lots of paypal account.
What's paymaya?
Hi Arvilyn,
Have the funds arrived already?
Hi Asmarie,
Thanks for bringing that up.
Hi sidlj,
Is your card connected with Paypal? Is your Paypal verified?
Hi Sorry I have a newbie question - I used my credit card to purchase online through paypal and the bank alerted me that I have exceeded the budget I had set. What does exceeding the budget mean?
Hi!
This is according to a PayPal Consumer Support Specialist I’ve spoken to.
Your bank account doesn’t necessarily need to be confirmed and it is not necessary as well for you to link a card for bank confirmation. Confirming a bank is only applicable for US PayPal users, for them to be able to pull funds from the bank.
For linking a card, they ask you to link a card for online transactions and payments since the only allowed funding source for your payments are PayPal balance and cards.
For Philippine PayPal accounts, even if your account does not have a credit card, you can still receive payments and withdraw the money to your bank even pay using the money on your PayPal balance.
To verify the PayPal account which will lift your withdrawal limit, that’s the time that they will require to verify your PayPal account by linking and confirming a card.
