Does Philippines use PayPal

Yes, the Philippines uses PayPal, and the service is officially available and supported for users in the country through PayPal PH.

Filipino users can sign up for an account and manage their money through the local PayPal site. For a broader PayPal overview, the main functions available in the Philippines are these:

  • Sending and receiving money: Funds can be transferred within the country or internationally, and users can be paid by clients or relatives overseas.
  • Online shopping: PayPal can be used to pay at both local and international online stores.
  • Withdrawals to local services: A PayPal balance can be moved to a linked local bank account, a card or a GCash wallet.

To withdraw to GCash, the PayPal and GCash accounts must first be linked, and the name and details on both accounts need to match. It helps to check your details on both accounts before linking them.

People in the Philippines who receive money from abroad, such as freelancers, should also review PayPal's fees for sending and receiving money and decide whether a personal or business account suits their situation.
