Hi

I live in the UK and use my regular UK bank account on my paypal but I also have a US account that I would like to deposit into or withdraw from. I would like to add the US account to paypal. I cant seem to be able to because when I go to add a bank account, it asks me for the "Sort code" and account number. My US bank account does not have a "Sort Code" but rather a "routing number" which has more numbers than a sort code. Does anyone know if you can link a US bank account as well as an existing UK one. Also. is it possible to just set up a new Paypal account just with the US bank account details? it's all so complicated as the bank account in the USA is registered now to my UK address. HELP!

Only folks from the U.S can register their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts.

 

BUT to do so you need to contact customer services and they will add it for you.

 

 

 

 

Click on the words "Contact" at the bottom of your paypal account summary page and use the phone option (if there is one in the country you are in) > click on the "call us" option on the left (fees "may" apply so check the cost with your phone tariff first, as you sometimes have to wait a while to connect).

When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent or say the word "agent".



OR have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?

You can send them a personal message from their facebook or twitter pages.

It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPalUK and @AskPayPal for Twitter.
