Cant find paypal card confirmation code anywhere!

[WhiteMage12]

Hi I am using Security Bank (Philippines) as my bank acc linked to paypal and I used my security bank mastercard to link it to paypal. Paypal then asked for confirmation code and charged my card 100 php, so I referred to my card statement and purchase history and saw that my acc got charged 100 php, but I couldnt even find a 4-digit code anywhere! I asked the bank tellers of our local Security bank and they couldnt even, for the love of all that is holy, find the 4 digit codes anywhere on my acc history and statements. But again the 100 pho charge was there, just not the code. Pls help me! I couldnt confirm my paypal link to mastercard this way. thank you!

I could have sworn I read somewhere that if you do not get a code, you can use the amount and add a zero to it to get the 4-digit code or something but I wouldn't try it. I'm trying to find where I could have read that from or a PayPal moderator to come around to can confirm if it is true or not first!

EDIT: AH HAHHHHH!!! FOUND IT!!!

This moderator says that if you are trying to confirm a bank debit card, PayPal makes 2 small deposits to your bank's account, you combine the numbers to make up the 4-digit code. But this doesn't seem to apply in your case.

OTHERWISE, I suggest to contact your bank and ask them dig around for the code on their end. It could just be a problem that your bank has which does not show the code on the transaction description on the statement.

Thanks for the answer! Sadly, as I said, the bank tellers couldnt even find the code because it is paypal's misdoing of charging the 100 php as POSD, so all I see on the statement of acc are stuff like C94_774_W0R5Y7, that is not even a 4-digit code so its weird... I dnt knw why credit card confirmation have to be this complicated and the fact that they charge you with no refund guarantee because I couldnt find the code is just shady tbh 😞 I hope I get help on this confirmation problem huhu
