The best ways to request RCBC MyWallet Visa Card?
Action 1. First you have to prepare one valid photo-bearing identification card. In my case I used a Postal ID. Here is a list of valid IDs you can use:
- Passport
- Motorist's License
- Expert Regulations Commission (PRC) ID
- National Bureau of Examination (NBI) clearance
- Cops Clearance
- Postal ID
- Voter's ID

Action 2. If you already have a valid ID you can now visit an RCBC branch near you. Tell them that you are applying for an RCBC MyWallet Visa Card and fill-up all the essential forms that they will provide you. Simply a suggestion from my experience, always remember to give them your e-mail address and tell them to enter it in their database. This will be needed in the next actions.
Action 3. Deposit a quantity not lower than Php120.00. You will require this for the required initial load and also for the Paypal verification cost which is about Php100.00 that will be subtracted from your account upon activation. Don't worry, Paypal will reimburse this amount after effective confirmation of your account.
Action 4. Wait for the card, you will receive the card immediately, you don't have to wait for days or weeks like in EON Debit Card of Union Bank. After getting the card wait on an hour for it to get triggered by their system. To understand if your card is currently active try to utilize it in an ATM. You can likewise check it online using this website - Bancnet Online -RCBC.
