I know some of you are applying for this card because it is also one of the card Paypal is asking.
How to link your card to PayPal?
- When linking your card to your Paypal account make sure your card has a load at least PHp150. Because Paypal will charge you $1 to link your card to Paypal account and PHp100 when you confirm your card. But after you successfully confirmed it, Paypal will return your PHp100 to your Paypal account in a form of a Paypal credits.
- Sign-up/ Log-in to your PayPal account.
- Click Profile
- Select Add/Edit Credit Card
- Select MasterCard as card type
- Enter your My ePrepaid MasterCard details
- Click Add Card
- Your My ePrepaid Card is now viewable in your PayPal Profile. To finalize linking of your card to Paypal, click Confirm My Card to allow PayPal to send a 4-digit verification code you need.
If you are asking if you can withdraw money from My ePrepaid Mastercard the answer is:
- No. You can only use your My ePrepaid Card to fund your PayPal account for purchases, but not to withdraw PayPal funds.
- No. My ePrepaid Cards cannot be used at ATMs.
- No. My ePrepaid does not have withdrawal functionality.

I choose the later. After a week I've loaded my BPI My ePrepaid Mastercard.
So simple,just visit any BPI BRANCH in your town. Proceed to the BEA terminal or the Branch Electronic Assistant.
Select BILLS PAYMENT as transactions. Select OTHER MERCHANTS. Input the 16-digit My ePrepaid Mastercard number as your PREFERENCE NUMBER. And input the amount you wanted to load. Here I load PHp150 only. Then I confirm my transaction details and select NEXT. And get my QUEUE NUMBER.

| My Queue Number |
I sit for awhile and waited for my number, when my number is called I went to TELLER 5 and inform her that I'm loading My ePrepaid Mastercard. I ask the teller if it is already credited to my card, she answered me as if she doesn't know about My ePrepaid Mastercard. So I went online to check my email from BPI and I see this note below the letter:
*The amount loaded will be credited to your card the next banking day.
To make sure if the load was posted to my account, I made my BALANCE INQUIRY through MOBILE PHONE(SMS):
- Key-in BALEC<space><your 16-digit My ePrepaid Mastercard number>
- SEND to 2274 for GLOBE and TM subscribers. Or SEND to 3274 for SMART and TALKnTEXT subscribers.
- Then you will received a balance via SMS. Charged of PHp2.50 per inquiry.
For better assurance you may call BPI Customers Service for faster transactions.
