Withdrawing Paypal Funds to Metrobank Savings Account

Withdrawing Paypal funds to Metrobank Savings Account is very convenient. I actually sticked to this withdrawal option for 2 years since I started accepting freelance jobs via Odesk. Once you added your Metrobank savings account to Paypal, you can now transfer your Paypal funds. Be sure to enter correct account details as Paypal charges P250 bounce fee.

Waiting time and bank charges are typically what freelancers consider when choosing a bank to link to their Paypal accounts. Even I considered this. However, I wasn't able to find Paypal-to-Metrobank withdrawal reviews back in 2009. I don't want to try BPI and BDO accounts since I learned that they charge around P150-P200 if I am not mistaken. I also heard of Unionbank Eon Card however, there's no nearby Unionbank branch in our area.

I opened a Metrobank ATM savings account which requires P2000 maintaining balance. Withdrawal of Paypal funds to Metrobank only took 3 days. So when I withdraw my Odesk earnings on a Wednesday, I'm sure to have it on a Saturday. This is the usual scenario. There even came a time when I receive my earnings on a Friday morning. Delays also happen especially when there's a holiday between Wednesday and Friday. In such case, I often receive my earnings Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

Withdrawing Paypal funds to Metrobank Savings account also has corresponding bank charges. Metrobank charges P76.70 for that, smaller than BPI and BDO's charge.

  1. How were you able to withdraw your paypal balance to a Metrobank savings account? I currently don't have a credit card but I have a savings account on Metrobank. Could you share to me the steps on how you did it? Thanks in advance.

  2. Gadie Barro. what I did, PayPal will ask you Bank Code and enter this code O10269996 , and enter also your metrobank account that you can see it in your metrobank card the 16 digits numbers "do not" include the three Zeros, after you did it click the save.

  3. Maybe not 77 anymore. Despite the fact that I already have EON card from Unionbank, I opened a savings account at Metrobank for savings purposes. Since it was my first time to transfer from paypal to metrobank, I just transfered 500 pesos last tuesday. To my surprise, I only saw 313.30 on the statement. So, basically, Metrobank charges 186.70. I was really shocked because Unionbank does not charge. From now on, I will not transfer funds online from paypal to Metrobank. I will just deposit it the usual way.

    1. It is still P77 to be exact it is P76.70. How did you add your Metrobank account to your Paypal? With me, I selected add/edit bank account to add my Metrobank account. I'm guessing you choose the add/edit credit card and yes there is a big difference with how much they deduct your money when transferring it to your bank or credit card account.
