I have had a Paypal account for some time but yesterday we set up our business account with the bank. I need to change the bank account from my personal account to the new business account.
Each time I try it asks me for my first and then last name but the account is in our business name. It won't let me enter that?
Am I in the wrong place?
Hoping somebody can help!
Thanks
Lins

If you upgrade your account to a business account (note: not a premier account) then when you add a bank it will only add one in your business name.
If you already have a bank account on the account from back when it was a personal account you will have to remove it and then re-add through your profile.

Apologies for tagging onto this post, but I can't find the answer I need. I have a basic personal account and need to amend it to a basic business one. How do I do this?

Hi cush001,
Welcome to our Community Forum
I'm more than happy to answer that for you.
To upgrade your personal account it's best to follow these quick steps:
- Log into your account and Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
- Click ‘Update’ in the ‘Business Information’ section.
- Click ‘Upgrade’.
- Enter your business information and click ‘Submit’
WIth immediate effect you will now be able to manage your PayPal account under your company's name.
Hope this helps cush001,
Conor
