Using a card with a different name on card than on account.

Hello,

 

I have this situation right here, my mother needed a PayPal, but I had one account registered already using my legal name, but haven't registered any card on my PayPal account and I registered her card on my account.

 

So, the situation is like this right now - I have an account registered on my name, BUT with mother's credit card, so the account owner and card owner names differ.

 

Thing is, as of I realized that this may not be allowed, she now worries that her credit card and my account might be closed because of this little mistake I did. How this can be solved? She needs an account to only use within PayPal Balance, I mean, send money to people straight in their PayPal accounts. I don't know, what should I do?

 

Thanks!

But it offers to change my name next to my name using any ID the government has given to my mother. To change the business name, there is a separate option...

You're going to do what you want anyway, so just do it.
