For this post, I will show you how to instantly verify your PayPal account using your PayMaya/Maya account. GCash AMEX virtual card is not accessible anymore so you won't be able to use it as medium for verification. But PayMaya Virtual Card is here to the rescue.


To be able to verify your PayPal using PayMaya, make sure you met the following requirements.


Requirements for verifying PayPal using PayMaya


  • Verified Maya account. Not yet verified? click here
  • Activated PayMaya virtual card. How to activate? click here
  • Maya wallet should have at least P100. PayPal or PP code is worth P100.
  • Your name on PayPal should be the same with your name on Virtual card
  • Make sure your PayPal account address is the same as your PayMaya virtual card address
  • Once you activated your virtual card, copy the following details:
    • 16-digit account number
    • Validity or valid thru (example: 12/26)
    • Security code or CVV2 (example: 486)
    • And the exact address found below your card

Assuming that you met all the given requirements above, then, start doing the tutorial below.
