Got My Union Bank EON Card (VISA Electron)

Just like what the title of this post said, I already got my EON Card (Visa Electron) from Union Bank. Last Monday, I went to Tacloban City just to pick this up and deposited PhP3,000.00 for the Expanded-Use enrollment of Paypal and for my other online transaction.

Actually, last October 2007, I applied for EON Card (VISA Electron) of Union Bank but I was not interested to get it from the Tacloban City branch of Union Bank because of the few reasons listed below:

  1. Union Bank has no branch here in Maasin City.
  2. I don’t know yet if I can transfer money from my Metrobank-Maasin City accounts to the EON Card of Union Bank.
  3. If I couldn’t transfer money from my Metrobank accounts to EON Card, then I need to visit Union Bank’s ATM or Teller in order to deposit money which is in Tacloban City only. It will be fine if there’s a Union Bank branch in Ormoc City because I am always in Ormoc City every Wednesday but Union Bank doesn’t have branch there.
  4. I also applied for the  Value Mastercard of Metrobank.
  5. In my case, using a credit card is much better than using the EON card of a bank that has no branch here in my base-city.

Now, soon as I received the Value Mastercard of Metrobank, I immediately set it to my PayPal account to verify my ownership of that PayPal account. PayPal successfully charged $1.95 my Value Mastercard credit card as part of the Expanded-Use enrollment of my PayPal account. I waited for my Value Mastercard credit card account statement to arrive. When I lost patient in waiting for it, I went to the Metrobank Maasin City branch to ask a copy of the account statement. The bank’s personnel called the Cebu office of Metrobank Cards. Then the copy of the account statement was sent via FAX.

Finally, I got the PayPal’s Expanded-Use number. I immediately logged-in to my PayPal account and tried to complete the Expanded-Use enrollment for my Value Mastercard. But the problem is, the Expanded-Use or Expu number I entered is incorrect, so PayPal suspended my Value Mastercard credit card.

However, PayPal’s system suggested that I should sent the following documents to their office via FAX at FAX Number 08707-303-190:

  • Copy of the Value Mastercard account statement
  • Photocopy of my two government issued ID’s
  • Photocopy of my Value Mastercard credit card (back to back)

But the problem is, everytime I dialed that said to be FAX number, an answering machine tells me that I am dialing a disconnected number. I immediately emailed PayPal about this and asked them for another but available FAX number. However, until now I received no response from PayPal.

So, I have no choice but to pick my EON card up at the Union Bank-Tacloban branch.

But then I am again facing another problem because my EON Card can be used after it is activated by the Union Bank Cebu office. Union bank’s personnel in Tacloban City told me that I have to wait for 10 to 15 office days before I can use my EON Card.

Received Ad-Publishing Payment 

Actually, my PayPal account received already the amount of $148.65 from an ad-broker. It’s my January 2008 earning from that certain ad-broker. But I am worried that my other income from other ad-brokers are blocked or I mean denied by PayPal because of the receiving limit of my PayPal account. And I can only lift this limit up when my PayPal account will be verified using credit card or debit card.

For now, I can do nothing but to wait for the time that my EON card will be fully activated.

    hello! thank you for visiting me here.

    you need to pay 350PhP only for one year. I mean 350PhP is a yearly fee for your eon card.

    the 3000PhP i deposited is my personal money. i am too far from Tacloban City so i decided to deposit 3000PhP in it that will be used for my online transactions.

    Hi there I am using EON and I think you should apply for EON online. I have done that and I have also tried transffering my EON money to other bank account and it is also work. You just need to log into the unionbank eon website and log into your account but they have different features now you need to call unionbank toll free number to have it activated I mean how to set up new password since they are implementing new stuff in EOn unlike before that you can just use your pin in logging in.

    By the way you really need to wait 15 days in order for you to activate your EON card why not just call unionbank eon number which is located in your card to asked or report some problems regarding your EON card rather than going to the bank.

    Got this email:
    1. for Unionbank users.. You can use your EON-card for verification process. This EON card is a debit card and you can also withdraw your funds from PAYPAL…

    2. Since you are now verified, using a debit card (EON card or your preferred CREDIT CARD) , you can now transfer your funds to your BANK ACCOUNT… BDO, BPI, METROBANK, etc.. PAYPAL has the list of supported banks in the philippines, it also contains the BANK CODE, which is used to LINK YOUR PAYPAL AND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

    3. EON CARD is again a debit card.. It is not a BANK ACCOUNT (please update if EON card is now considered a BANK ACCOUNT).. Of course you can use EON for verification, AND, you can as well WITHDRAW your funds from your paypal account to this EON CARD..

    Wondering what’s the difference????
    If you withdraw your funds to a BANK ACCOUNT.. it is free for P7000 and above.. and P50 for P6999 and below…
    If you withdraw your funds to a DEBIT CARD or CREDIT CARD.. it will cost you P250.00

    4. EON CARD has an annual fee of P350… almost P30 / month .. P1 / day ^_^

    5. EON CARD DOESN’t have any MINIMUM BALANCE REQUIREMENT unlike some ATM CARDS.

    6. For those who have SMART MONEY.. Smart Money has a MASTERCARD LOGO.. and it is classified as a DEBIT CARD just like EON CARD.. So you can also use smart money for verification processes.. but….

    There are two kinds of smart money number… those starts at 5577 ( also known as 5577-series) and the other one is the 5299 series..

    5577 series.. can be used to withdraw funds FROM your PAYPAL to your SMART MONEY but you cannot use 5577 series of smart money as a primary source of funds.. coz it doesn’t have AN OUTGOING TRANSACTION online feature as of now. (please call Smart money hotline 15177)

    5299 series is working in both ways.. incoming and outgoing. i mean, you can transfer funds from paypal to smart money.. and from smart money to paypal..

    but please call the hotline to verify coz one CSR told me that smart money is doing their best to make 5577 series eligible for the online outgoing feature.
