To Philippine based freelancers: What's your local bank account for the payment transaction of your client?

My client is based from France. He told me that sending funds to Philippines will go through a lot of process. He prefers sending it thru paypal (I assume the client doesn't want to go to bank, fall in line and do the transaction). The problem is that I don't have any credit cards. I don't want to avail any credit cards for personal reason. I only got BDO savings card which is invalid with paypal.

As I would like for my client to send funds to be hassle-free, what guys do you use? What bank accounts do you prefer or any services that is beneficial for both parties in terms of sending funds specifically in Europe?

Thanks guys! Got my funds now. It took one week for the whole process. Is it the same duration to credit cards in paypal?

3	We use UnionBank with their EON card which directly hooks up with Paypal. If you're a registered business, it would also be a great idea to register as a business account. link answered Apr 26 '11 at 00:25 Jon Limjap 1.2k●11

Here's a list of the banks with their corresponding bank codes that you can use with Paypal: http://pages.ebay.ph/bankwithdrawal/bank_codes_ph.html. I personally use BPI.

Although adding a bank account to your Paypal account allows you to withdraw funds, you will still need a credit or debit card to lift the limits for sending, receiving, and withdrawing funds.

On another note, having a credit card isn't so bad. I use mine to buy dev books online that are not available in PH.

taking all circumstances, credit card is the best way to purchase online

Two previous colleagues of mine uses Bank of the Philippine Island for their PayPal account, I believe there is some percentage charge in the transaction by PayPal.

Thanks solowarrior! Can you confirm if it's a BPI savings account? Not a credit card? If so, I'll definitely avail one.
