Philippine Bank Codes for Paypal and UnionBank Withdrawal Options
Karla Maganto from Quezon City emailed us this inquiry last night:
"Dear TechPinas, I'm an online graphic design freelancer and my clients in the US pay me in dollars via Paypal. I've been receiving payments since May 2008 but I haven't actually tried withdrawing any amount to my local bank just yet -- I'd like to do that now. I've been checking out Paypal's withdrawal process since the first time I received payment and I'm already quite familiar with it save for 2 small things: TechPinas, I'd like to know Unionbank's Bank Code and since I already have a Unionbank EON Card, do I have the option to withdraw directly to my Unionbank savings account instead of to my card? Thanks in advance!"

Now, regarding your second concern: Yes, you have the option to withdraw your Paypal fund via Unionbank Savings Account if you already have an Eon Card. Most EON card holders do this because Paypal charges $5 if withdrawals are made via Debit or Credit card. Your Savings/Bank Account number is located on the lower left corner of the front panel of your Eon Card starting with 1094[...]. It takes around 5-7 days to complete local bank withdrawal.
