Update: We have received reports that UnionBank has already disallowed the use of “8400″ as EXPUSE Number. A few members have said that inputting an incorrect EXPUSE number several times leads to a Limited PayPal account. Be warned. Better contact UnionBank to get the EXPUSE number so as not to risk your account.

——————–

UnionBank EON CyberAccount users need not wait for several days and need not contact UnionBank anymore just to get the Expanded Use (EXPUSE) Number necessary to verify a PayPal Philippines account.

Today I added my UnionBank EON account to my newly-opened PayPal Philippines account and successfully enrolled as well in the Expanded Use Program.

Normally, UnionBank EON and eWallet account holders have to wait for 3-7 days before they can get the Expanded Use Number. (Visa credit card holders need to wait for the next month’s statement to get this number.) The EXPUSE number is supposedly not accessible online so users are asked to contact Unionbank’s hotline to get the number.

But this morning I applied for the Expanded Use Program, logged in to my UnionBank online account, used as EXPUSE number the numbers I saw in my Transaction History, and voila! I’m now a Verified PayPal account holder with no Sending limit.

How to get the EXPUSE number in your online account is explained below.

How to get the EXPUSE number online

This worked for my EON account. I’m not sure whether it will work for yours. Please read our Disclaimer above before proceeding.

  • 2. Once logged in, access the “Transaction History” of the account you used to enroll in the Expanded Use Program.
  • 3. Scan your history for the transaction that debited your account with the $1.95 Expanded Use Enrollment fee (the Peso charge is normally around P87+).
  • 4. In the corresponding “Transaction Description” column, check if you see a 3- or 4-digit number. In my case, this is 840 from the line VISA-SG(840).
  • 5. Since the EXPUSE number is a 4-digit number, I added “0″ as the last digit. I used 8400, the new 4-digit number (840 + 0 last digit), as my PayPal EXPUSE number and, guess what, it worked!

    I’ve been an eon card holder for 2 years… weird thing is since december of last year until today (feb 2009) I can’t seem to access my eon cyberaccount… during log-in the same message would appear “please enter a valid card number / user id”. I called their customer care hotline and the agent told me he would make a report regarding my problem, I requested my account to reset. He said wait for 1-2 banking days… it’s been 5 days… no e-mail yet from unionbank. :( anyone with the same prob and was able to solve it?

    I was able to access my EON online banking account after I enrolled it a few days ago and saw in the transactions the EXPUSE number. I just linked my card a couple of hours ago and got the EXPUSE number immediately after I logged in to my EON online banking page after linking my card. Thanks for this tip, sure helped a lot. Oh, and by the way, the 8400 number did not work but the EXPUSE number was there in the middle of the VISA-****PAYPAL–*EXPUSE SG(840)with the asterisks being the EXPUSE number for activating your card with. Thanks again for the help. :)

    Hi again!

    I have already got my eon card today, deposited some amount and created a cyberaccount.
    Question: Can I verify/link my eon card to paypal right now or should I wait for my cyberaccount to get activated (after 3DAYS) first?

    thanks!

    thank you so much for helping me to find my EXPUSE number code? it really works….

  • Glaize

    my expuse no. looked like this on my eon online transactions VISA-PP*1234CODE SG(608) – with 1234 as sample numbers only. anyways that’s how it looked like. I had a hard time searching for my transaction history as i thought it would be directly seen from the homepage or there is at least a link to guide you to that page. But there is none. I had to wait what, more than 2 days because I thought there will be a notification about it but nada.. Only to find out it’s been there after I added the EON to paypal to be verified. anyways how I located it was to click all tabs. It was on the accounts tab, you will see options and I clicked on the dropdown, saw last ten transactions and there I saw the paypal EXPUSE. it did not even say expuse, again, refer to my first sentence. So that’s it I hope unionbank gives the full or detailed instruction to walk their customers through this process.
