You might want to try Union Bank's E-on debit Card for internet payment and transactions, both local and international. E-on Card is linked to VISA International. E-on card is also cheap (sign-on amount at P 2,000 only) and functions as an ATM card at any MegaLink. It can also be used like a credit card that can be swiped. Zero-maintaining balance! You need a minium of only one! transaction per year to keep the account from becoming inactive. You can also write on-line checks and transfer funds to different bank accounts with a secure (via VeriSign) web-browser over the Internet. But I don't do it, me thinks I'm paranoid for good reasons. I haven't tried to use this debit card to register for PayPal international payment service, but you might want to explore this E-on card, VISA, and PayPal possibility further. PayPal is also useful, I just hope they accept E-on cards in their transactions.
