I had been KYC'ed back in September this year. It was quick and convenient as it was done using Facebook messenger video chat. The huge challenge for me was getting the ATM/MasterCard.
That took me more than two months and four visit to the Globe store before finally getting the card. This will be my main option now cashing out from PayPal. What was the hold up? I guess the reps I talked to didn't have a clue about their product and each of them gave their own alibis but yesterday the rep was so helpful. She linked the account in a breeze. I just stood there watching in less than three minutes. I wish I found her earlier but I am thankful my issue with Gcash MasterCard has been resolved now.
