I'm struggling with this too! I linked my BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands) but it's still labeled as "checking" when it's been 2 days. When I linked my Gcash, it literally took a few minutes to have the code sent to me (I'm having problems with Gcash too but the linking was very easy to confirm). From what I've seen, you should try calling your bank for the code as they can't always be seen on online statements and maybe the pandemic means there's limited manpower to sort through it or something. I've also seen that trying to link your card more than 3 times will sort of "freeze" it (not sure what the right term is but basically you can't be linked to PayPal) and you'll have to contact PayPal to undo that so that you can link it again. Kinda worries me because I did unlink and relink my BPI more than once, I can't remember if it was more than 3x and I don't know what the "freezing" of the bank card looks like so I can't tell if that's my problem.
I have yet to try calling BPI but I will try to within the week! If you've resolved this already, I'd really appreciate knowing how you solved it/how long it took! I hope this sort of helped?
