Activate PayPal Using PayMaya
Update: Due to some changes within PayPal, the new recommended amount you need to secure with your PayMaya is P200.00 from the old minimum of P50.oo – P70.00. The initial $1.00 will be withdrawn by PayPal for the test payment verification test then another $2.00 will be deducted to generated our PayPal verification code.
I have been receiving question if PayMaya can be used as a PayPal credit/debit card or if PayMaya can be used to activate a PayPal account. The short answer is a big yes. You can Activate PayPal using your PayMaya account and it is very simple and straight forward.
PayMaya Android App Login
First, you need to login to your PayMaya account, a screenshot is provided for ease and reference.
Click the menu button, the button got 3 horizontal lines, then click “My Cards”. What we are after is the PayMaya Virtual VISA Card since this is the one that is enabled for online purchases.
PayMaya Visa Cards: Virtual and Physical
If you have a Physical PayMaya card and you have linked it successfully, the card will appear on this window with only 1 option and that is to change it’s bank pin. I still have no full idea on what is the local bank powering PayMaya to save on withdrawal fees but it is not a concern on my side since I only use PayMaya for online purchases.
Before we proceed, make sure that you have activated your PayMaya virtual card which can be done using the App. There is a separate activation for PayMaya withdrawals which require a valid government ID scanned and mailed to Smart E-Money Inc.
Activating your virtual Visa card takes less than 1 minute!
- Tap “Link” to activate your PayMaya VISA Card.
- Fill out the required details – your birthday and complete address.
- Tap “Activate”.
- Your card number, CVV, and Expiry Date will be displayed. You’ll need these information when you start purchasing online.
Add a credit card by clicking Profile
- Login to Paypal and go to Profile
- From the dropdown, click “Add/Edit Credit Card”
- Fill up the form with the EXACT ADDRESS you have provided in your PayMaya Virtual Account when activating
Paypal will widraw $1.00 from your PayMaya account so make sure that you have at least P150.00 – P200.00 in your PayMaya Account.
PayMaya for PayPal Activation
Upon success, your PayMaya account will be deducted $1.00 and your PayMaya virtual card will appear on the activated credit card list in your PayPal.

diba naga ask ang paypal activation code makita ba sa paymaya history of transaction?
mag appear ba ang code ng paypal sa paymaya history
lilitaw sya sa reply ng PayMaya at a charging details. Sample XXXX-PayPal. Ung XXXX is 4 digit verification code
Hi sir. I have successfully linked my Virtual card sa paypal ko and it appeared as Mastercard. Pero yung problem ko ngayon is yung Paymaya physical card ko po. Declined po lagi sinasabi kapag nililink ko since kelangan ko po sana ito to withdraw money in ATMs. Activated, upgraded naman na din po yung card. Tama dina ng details especially the Billing Address. Bakit po kaya ayaw mag link?
Declined saan? Mastercard can’t receive money from other sources.
Sa Paypal po. It says, “Your card has been declined…” Yan po yung lumalabas sa Paypal kapag nililink ko ung physical card ko sa paypal. Now, hindi ko po nagagamit sa pag withdraw ng funds ko from Paypal yung physical card
.
Hindi pa ba naka link sa ibang PayPal account yang physical card mo? Me laman ba yan ng naglilink ka since mag tetest charge ang PayPal ng $1 up to $2. Kapag nakaverify na or me naka link ng card before sa PayPal mo, linking feed is automatically refunded on the same day.
May laman po na 300 but still it can’t be linked sa Paypal po kasi sabi “Your card has been declined” daw po.
Nagdedecline lang ang PayPal kung naka link na ang card mo sa ibang PayPal account or walang makukunan ng pondo sa PayMaya mo dahil sa walang naka link na account or walang laman ung account na nakalink

Hi po, ask lang po ako regarding sa paymaya visa card na ni linked ko sa paypal ko. Hindi po ako maka withdraw ng funds from paypal ang lagi po na sinasabi ay “Sorry, we are unable to process your request. Please try again later.” Please help me po kung anong dapat gawin. Thank you.
Kelangan match ang name ng PayPal at PayMaya mo. Kung physical card ang ginamit, kelangang nakalink sa PayMaya account
Hello po . Ask ko lang po if mag kaiba po ba yung virtual card account number dun sa pina deliver kong card ko na paymaya paywave card ko . . Or same pa rin po nang account number??
Card number is different, ung physical card will be delivered WITHOUT any account. Kung saan mo sya ilink na PayMaya account, un ang magiging account nya.
