Why icici bank debit card?
You might be wondering why I chose an icici bank debit card. The reason is that paypal doesn’t accept any indian debit card except icici debit card. Otherwise you would need a credit card to verify paypal account in india. But credit card requires a set of loopholes like getting an FD worth 10000 rupees which is way beyond the pocket of an online internet money seeker who also happens to be a part time student. I also verified my PAYZA(previously alertpay) account with the help of icici bank debit card. You know that if we want to buy something online like getting a premium pd proxy account, premium zbigz account, buying premium accounts of file sharing sites like rapidshare, rapidgator etc you need to have a paypal account which can make purchases. For a paypal account to be able to make purchases you need it to be attached to a credit card or debit card. Previously paypal did not accept any indian debit card but recently on one forum I found someone posting the proof of icici debit card being accepted. It also enables us to send money to someone with a paypal account. One more thing is that we need not divulge our credit card details
everytime we go shopping online, paypal provides a more secure platform.
How to get a paypal account and verify it?
Don’t get confused regarding a paypal account as you need not have a debit card to verify it. I used an icici bank debit card because my account was limited as someone tried to log into it without my permission. Also I wanted to do a lot of online transactions. To verify a paypal account what you need is a bank account. Paypal will make two small deposits like rs 1.03 and rs 2.01 into your bank account. You need to enter the exact amounts into the paypal account to verify it. Only a verified paypal account can receive money. Any Indian bank account would do like the SBI, SBT, FEDERAL BANK, ICICI, UNION BANK, BANK OF BARODA etc.
Why do you need a paypal account?
A paypal account is necessary for receiving money into your bank account for any work that you do online like joining survey sites, making money on rewardingways, making money blogging etc. Basically they are all payment processors. All the sites send the money you have earned to paypal or payza which is then forwarded to your bank account.
still confused????
I started it all back some 9 months ago with absolutely zreo knowledge of anything. The word paypal sent jitters down my spine. But now I am earning decently online like with fileice, rewardingways, blogging, ipanel, win gift cards facebook app etc. BE A SUCCESS!!!

Hi,George
I also found in some forum that icici easy shop debit card works with paypal,but when i visited icici website,turned out there is no card in that name.so can u suggest me which card and account type to choose?
George
I am using savings account and the atm card which is also a debit card. The minimum balance is 5000. If you have more doubts ask me
Hari
And i also forgot to mention only HDFC bank offers debit cards in the name of easyshop
Ankit
so now confirm please which debit card is working fine with paypal?
if any debit card which is working fine with paypal means it should also work for other international sites like itunes or google play store
George
ICICI bak debit card is working with PayPal
Ankit
thank you george you saved my life…
can you tell me the exact name of debit card whichever is working?
so i can directly ask bank to provide me that card?
George
As you can see the image in the post, it is an N Cash debit card with silver colour. You get the same when you open a savings bank account. There is no particular name for it, I just know that it has been working for me since the past 13 months

Hi nice information, but the debit card u r using has a line on card as * FOR ELECTRONIC USE ONLY.
Becoz what i came to know while searching on internet is that paypal does not accept indian debit cards which have such statement written .
Is it true as i have not tried it yet, coz almost all banks debit cards comes with that statement written on it.
Plz help
George
I don’t know from where you got all that information. What I know and use is this debit card and it works.
vishal shetty
Thank you George for your information…
I have small doubt ….
I have a paypal account verified using my idbi account….
& i have not added/linked any debit card to it…..still my paypal status is showing verified….
I have applied for ICICI savings account in order to get debit card……
Now what i need to do is simply link my icici debit card to paypal & after verfication i can make international puchase….
Is it correct way i am going? please suggest.
Please help & thank you in advance…
George
Yes you need to enter your icici account details and make it your primary account. Only when it is made the primary account can you make purchase with it. Paypal will charge around $2 and also give it back to make sure that its yours. You will have to enter the amount that was charged, you can also use the same card to verify your payza/alertpay account. Hope this helps. Are you planning to start blogging?
vishal shetty

Hi George
thank you for your help, as per your post i applied for icici bank account & i got SMART SHOPPER VISA DEBITCARD from them….
as soon as card was activated i tried it on my paypal account, I couldn’t believe it was successfully verified with paypal in just 2 minutes…..
thank you George you are really genius….
Before I make any bigger transaction I want to check whether paypal is deducting my balance from icici bank account or not for any purchase.
Could you suggest me any simple method by which i can verify that my paypal & icici debit card is working properly…
Thank you in advance…
George

Hi George I want to thank you once again for your help & for your post….
I purchased a domain name, & paid via paypal & it worked 100% successfully.
My ICICI bank acount was debited with correct amount….
thank you once again….
George
Nice to hear that, from where did you buy the domain godaddy?
vishal shetty
Nope….. From bigrock.in
George
How is big rock for domains, do they offer discounts, I usually shop at godaddy. Will it be possible to redirect a blogspot site with a domain bought at big rock
vishal shetty
Ya from last 2 years I am purchasing domains from bigrock.in , the advantage you get is
1. You get discounts each n every time you visit bigrock
2. You will get domain name privacy free of cost with bigrock, godaddy will not give you free domain name privacy they will charge you about 350 to 400 rs/year….
That’s the difference between bigrock.in & godaddy.com……
I didn’t actually understand what you want to say about bigrock domain & blogspot……
Are you buying hosting & domain separately from godaddy or you purchase their blog hosting package…..
George
I was saying about hosting the site on blogger, blogspot provides free hosting
Ankit
dude ! i cant find this card details on ICICI website…
can you tell me the exactly which card you’d applied for?
also tell me what the requirements to open account on ICICI
my past experience was very bad with private sector banks
George
You will not find the card info on the site as this card is not anything special You will get it once you open a savings bank account. The requirement is an initial cash deposit of 5000 and two photos, pan card or voter id something, the usual and the service is great

@ vishal shetty
Bro, Can you tell me which smart shopper debit card you have got ? i.e. Silver, Gold and also is it privilege account or normal saving account ? There are few debit cards from ICICI that dont work with paypal like HPCL.
Sam
@ George
Hello Bro, Can you confirm whether we can do transaction though ICICI debit card ? I have seen peoples can successfully verify their ICICI bank account with paypal but they are not able to add their debit card with paypal and not able to receive 4 digit code for transaction process.
George
I did a transaction yesterday. I have no idea why it did not work for others. I just wish now that icici had an affiliate program
Gopa Kumar Ravi
Hey,u all confirms that ICICI debit card works,so i took an ac and i got Smart shopper Visa Debit card….let see if it works or not…..
George

Gopa Kumar Ravi

George
I would suggest registering the 3d pin but for paypal I have never used that
Gopa Kumar Ravi
Let me,see,it works or not,i wil let u know george,i am on facebook:www.facebook.com/gopu.kumar3
Sam
@ Gopa Kumar Ravi
Bro, I also have applied for ICICI saving account today. Instead of Instant welcome kit I applied for personalized debit card. I will get my welcome kit withing 7 working days. I think ICICI sends SMART SHOPPER SILVER INTERNATIONAL Debit card by default. Could you tell us the silver debit card worked on paypal or not ? Also did you register for VBV 3D before linking it to paypal ?
@ George
I think the real reason paypal declining indian debit cards is VBV 3D secure so one should not register for 3D secure- Not sure though 🙂
Gopa Kumar Ravi
@Sam, My ICICI ac is currently in activation process,i got instant card,so i wil try it 1st without registering it with VBV 3D..
Sam
@ Gopa Kumar Ravi
Thank-you bro. Please let us know here once you activate your paypal and how you activate it 🙂

@ Seekdefo
Yesterday I verified my ICICI Silver Internationl Visa Platinum Debit card with the Paypal without any restrictions. It was done within 5 minutes I just couldn’t believe it that it was done so quickly. Paypal debited amount of 1.03 INR and 128.60 INR from my ICICI savings account equivalent to 1.95 $ I got message on my cellphone immediately and got the 4 digit code I then put that code on Paypal and that was it!! And then I added my ICICI bank account info it was done within five mins. Now I am waiting for PAN verification from Paypal side. 🙂
@ George
Bro, I might send you 1$ on your E-mail address to confirm that sending and receiving money works 🙂
George
Yeah or you can buy a domain
Sam
@ Gopa Kumar Ravi
Bro, I tried verifying it first without registering into 3D secure website of ICICI and It worked!
George
Glad it worked
Gopa Kumar Ravi
@ George and Sam…My ICICI Silver International Visa Platinum Debit card is accepted by paypal..it is instant card…i used,not personalised..It confirms that ICICI supports International websites without on 3D secure crap of RBI…other banks seems doesnt supports non indian websites ..online…I am confirming Instant card is enough for verification!
Gopa Kumar Ravi
If we try to verify pp after registering with 3D secure…it may not work…although its a relief that ICICI debit cards works like credit cards in all international websites………
Sam
@ George
Bro, I tried sending you 1$ but Paypal rejected it! Here what it says:
We notice that you are attempting to pay an Indian resident user. The payment you initiated has been blocked. PayPal only facilitates international payments and cannot be used for domestic payments within India. We suggest you find alternative methods to complete the payment. If you believe that the person you attempted to pay is not based in India, please contact PayPal customer support!!
Can’t we send money to Indian Paypal users across India ?
George
Ah yes, I came to know about this only a week ago, As per new RBI rules Indians cannot use Paypal to send money to each other, try buying a domain or something
Vineet
hi i added a icici debit card into my paypal account and they want icici credit online statement how can i get it please help me ?
George
I think they’re only asking you to find the amount that gets debited from the account and not a statement. You should receive that in a sms
Sam
@ George
Thank-you bro for verifying that data for us.
George
No problem
Amaroon

Hi George,
I am having ICICI Silver International Visa Platinum Debit card and it doesn’t accepted by PayPal. I am getting the following error – “The bank that issued your card didn’t approve this transaction. Please contact the card issuer’s customer service department if you have any questions. Or you can add a different card now to continue.” please help me brother.
George
why so? I never had any trouble with it. Could you mail the screenshots of Paypal and your debit card to george1992defo@gmail.com? I will see what I can do?
Gopa kumar Ravi
@ Sahil Dhull
I has the same card,may be your card is registered to 3D secure or it may not be activated by the bank properly!!!.Test withdrawal process from ATM and then try to add it again.!!!
Sam
@ Sahil Dhull
Bro, Me and Gopa Kumar Ravi having the same card as you have but we verified successfully on Paypal.
Did you register for 3D secure PIN before activating it to Paypal ? Then maybe that is the reason behind this. Otherwise Paypal accepts ICICI debit card instantly!
