In a previous post entitled Withdraw from Paypal thru Citibank, I revealed how I was able to withdraw funds from my Paypal account to my credit card. In this post, I will detail my experience in Withdrawing from my Paypal account to my current account in BDO.
I initiated the withdrawal on July 8 2010. The amount was: $200.00. I chose this amount so as to not incur the PHP50.00 withdrawal fee that Paypal charges for amounts less than PHP 7,000.00. Paypal automatically converted the $200.00 withdrawn into PHP 9,033.10. Doing the simple math, Paypal used 45.1655 as the exchange rate.
According to BDO's online banking records, the money was received on: July 12 2010. The amount credited into the current account was: PHP 8,833.10. The transaction was described as a REMITTANCE-PCHC10070094337 from the RECON UNIT. The PHP 200.00 difference probably represents the fee BDO charges for the remittance.
In summary, withdrawing from my Paypal account to my BDO current account took 5 days for the funds to get in. Paypal used an exchange rate of 45.1655 which is LOW compared to the one used by Citibank which was 47.0733. On top of this, BDO deducts PHP 200.00 from the converted amount as its remittance fee.
In the future, I will probably lean towards withdrawing from my Paypal account to my Citibank credit card. It gets credited faster and uses a higher exchange rate. The only draw back is it can only be used to pay for my credit card purchases.

I want to check kasi nagkaron ng money sa bank account ko from recon unit. Remittance as well.
ReplyDeleteHello I'd like to ask po.. nung nag withdraw po kasi ako sa PayPal ko same day po na credit po siya.. tapos next day po nung nag check ulit ano balance sa online ko po kinuha po ulit Recon Unit Para ko po.. when I checked my PayPal naman po the amount wasn't put back there naman po. So now I'm worried is that normal?
ReplyDeleteSame issue here. Nka balik po ba pera mo?
Deletesakin din huhuhuhuh ano ba nangyayari
Deletehala same issue. Branch Name: Recon Unit. Update nyo nman ako sa nangyare sa inyo "rhynaitsirch@gmail.com". email nyo ko pls.
Deletenareceive ko din paypal to bdo transfer then the next day nawala sa bdo "recon unit" tapos wala din sa paypal. nag email ako sa bdo pero wala nagrereply
ano na po nangyari any update?
DeleteGanito po kasi ang nangyayari. Pag nag withraw tayo from Paypal to BDO, usually nagrereflect agad ung money sa bank acct natin even though hndi pa totally ipinapadala ni Paypal kay BdO yung requested amount. Now the recon will happen kapag after a given time na hndi oa din sinesend ni Paypal ung pera kay BDO. Let's say ang agreement is within 24 hours dapat masend na ni Paypal ung money kay BDO, and if it happens na wala sila natanggao, doon na narerecon. Pero we just need to wait a day or two and magrereflect naman ulit yung pera sa BDO acct natin. Since kasi nung lagi na nagloloki ang Paypal to Gcash, no choice na aq but to withraw via BDO and for the past 3 times ko na ginagawa yun, 3 beses na din narerecon then after a day or two naman nagrereflect na ulit.
DeleteHow many days bago mabalik ung pera nyo sa PayPal Ng recon din Kasi ung sakin, Sabi sa bdo Kay PayPal n daw problem yon?
ReplyDeleteano na po ang nangyari any update?
