Can I use my Smart Money Card to Verify my Paypal account?

Question:

I have my Paypal account but it is not yet verified. I can’t very my Paypal account now because I don’t have credit card. But I have Smart Money Card bearing with the logo of MasterCard. Can I use it to verify my Paypal account?

Answer:

First you need to check your Smart Money Card if it is really bearing with the MasterCard logo or with the MasterCard Electronic Logo. You need to know that MasterCard and MasterCard Electronic are two different cards just like the VISA and the VISA Electron.

Now, if your Smart Money Card is a MasterCard Electronic Card then you can’t use it to verify your Paypal account because based on my knowledge, you can only use VISA and MasterCard (without Electron or Electronics) for the Paypal verification. On the other hand, if your Smart Money card is a MasterCard (without Electronic) Card then, you can use it to verify your Paypal account.

But if you’ll ask me whether to use the Smart Money Card with MasterCard (without Electronic) logo in verifying your Paypal, then my answer is, you better use the MasterCard or VISA Credit Card or the debit card from Union bank, the EON Card.

Why? It’s because verifying your Paypal account using the Smart Money MasterCard Card is too expensive. You’ll be spending $1 everytime you unlock your card for the internet transaction use and PhP2.50 Smart Cellphone load in every text you send.

    I tried verifying my PayPal account with my BDO debit account card with a MasterCard logo on it (not Electronics or Electron). But it was not accepted by PayPal.

    I called BDO and they say they don’t accept such kind of transactions because they are not affiliated with PayPal. So I don’t think it is safe to say that all cards with MasterCard logo can be used to verify your PayPal account.

    By the way, I used EON Card from Union Bank to verify my PayPal account.

    • SELaplana says:

      yes it’s true that not all debit card with MasterCard logo can be used to verify Paypal, it depends on the terms imposed by the debit card supplier.

      However, all Credit Cards with MasterCard logo can be used in verifying Paypal.

    • char says:

      Isn’t it that the old smart money card has “MasterCard Electronic” logo on it?The new one has the logo of “MasterCard” but “Electronic use only” is written below. So is the new one still a MasterCard Electronic? The card number starts with 5299 though. Can I use it to verify my Paypal?
