Step 1: Ensure Your PayMaya Account is Verified

Download the PayMaya app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store if you haven’t already.
Sign up for a PayMaya account or log in if you already have one.
Complete the verification process by submitting the required documents (e.g., valid ID, selfie) to upgrade your account to a fully verified PayMaya account. This is necessary to link PayPal.

Open the PayMaya app and go to the Cards section.
Activate your PayMaya Virtual Dollar Card (this is a virtual Visa card provided by PayMaya).
Take note of the card details (card number, expiration date, and CVV).
Log in to your PayPal account (via the app or website).
Go to Wallet and click on Link a Card.
Enter the details of your PayMaya Virtual Dollar Card.
Confirm the card by following PayPal’s verification process (usually involves a small charge that you’ll need to confirm).

Once your PayMaya Virtual Dollar Card is linked to PayPal, you can withdraw funds from PayPal to your PayMaya account.
On PayPal, go to Withdraw Funds and select Transfer to your bank account.
Choose the linked PayMaya Virtual Dollar Card as the destination.
Enter the amount you want to transfer and confirm the transaction.

The transferred funds will be converted to Philippine Pesos (PHP) and credited to your PayMaya account.
You can use the funds for online purchases, bills payment, or cash withdrawals.

Important Notes:

Fees may apply when transferring funds from PayPal to PayMaya. Check both platforms for the latest fee structure.
Ensure your PayMaya account is fully verified to avoid issues with linking and transferring funds.
The PayMaya Virtual Dollar Card is required for this process, as PayPal does not directly link to PayMaya’s PHP account.

By following these steps, you can successfully link your PayPal account to PayMaya and transfer funds seamlessly.
