How do I add money to my PayPal account from my bank?

Adding money to a PayPal account from a bank account may not be available in some countries.

Here’s how to add money to your PayPal account from a bank account using your computer:

  1. Go to your Wallet.
  2. Click Transfer Money.
  3. Click Add money to your balance.
  4. Follow the instructions.

Here are a few tips regarding adding money from a bank account:

  • The name on your bank account must be the same as the name on your PayPal account. If the names do not match, the transfer will not process correctly.
  • It's only possible to add money via the PayPal website. This feature isn't currently available on the PayPal app.
  • PayPal does not charge you for the transfer. However, bank fees may apply. You should contact your bank about this.
  • Your bank balance must be sufficient for the transfer to be successful.
