Link and confirm a bank account instantly

You need to confirm your bank account before you can use it to make payments.

You can confirm your bank account instantly by entering your bank login details. We’ll use a third-party provider to confirm your bank account details and to check your balance and transactions as needed, which can help your PayPal payments go through. You can remove these permissions in your Settings at any time.

Link and confirm a bank account manually

If you enter your bank account number manually, we’ll prompt you to confirm this bank account. Within 3 business days, check your bank statement for 2 small deposits (each between $0.01 and $0.99 USD) that we sent. You can also contact your bank to find out the exact amounts of these deposits. Then you can enter these amounts in your PayPal account to finish confirming this bank account.
