Can't Find Verification Code in Debit Card Statement

Hello,

I'm a Paypal user from the Philippines that's trying to link my Metrobank debit card to my Paypal account. I went through the standard process of the verifying it, but when I look at my transactions, I can't find any code to use to confirm my card.

 

Based on my card's transaction history, a fee was deducted from my account (about 149Php) but their descriptions only say ET MCI SALE, and no four digit code or anything of the sort.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I am also having this problem. Upon calling the branch, they said that it really says "ET MCI SALE" on my statement and no PayPal code as instructed.

 

How do I fix this?

I'm having the same problem. May I know how many days before you confirmed and call the branch for the ETMCISALE description?

Same problem. Waiting for a few days if Metrobank will show more information about the paypal transaction.

I would like to share my experience hoping this may help. I tried processing the verification on 04/07 and automatically my Metrobank debit card was deducted with 100php. Since I registered my card through online banking, I immediately checked my transaction and it does show a 100php charge but the description shows ET MCI SALE. The next day, I noticed that the transaction was gone from my transaction history. The following day after that, I checked again and voila the transaction appears again and this time, the description changes to PP ****code (the asterisk contains the actual code). I immediately inputted the code in PayPal and I was verified afterward. It also did instruct me that the charge will be refunded within 24 hrs.  Note that 04/07 is Sunday and 04/09 is a holiday (Araw ng Kagitingan).
