PAYPAL PHYSICAL CARD

[khadeejahadid]

Will there be any PayPal debit card available in the Philippines? I tried to request for one but it says that it’s unavailable in my country. It would’ve been better if PayPal would make it Internationally available to have a physical card with them, it’s much easier to access funds when traveling abroad.

Its only recently been introduced in some European countries so may be a while before you are offered it.

Also it is often for business accounts only.

I would point out that you should not use your paypal account internationally as Paypal is 'country specific.' 

 When traveling, a login from a different country than where your PayPal account is registered can appear like an attempt by a third party to take over your account. Due to this, PayPal heavily limits and often prevents use of an account while traveling.

Thank you for your response although I have a concern. Let’s say someone lives in a certain country and then migrated to another country but their funds are still in PayPal, does that mean this person can no longer access their funds because they already live in a different country? How is this? Another response for this would be appreciated. Thank you.

You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.
