Maestro card

[milne4517]

Can anyone help me resolve a problem with my Maestro card.  The rules seem to have changed and my card is now being refused with message advising that "solo" cards are not now accepted.  I thought my switch Maestro card was OK - any help please?

All I see to add is Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. It doesn't show Maestro. Help? 😧

Hi jzpakka, 

Welcome to the PayPal community forum. New members are always welcome.

On PayPal we do offer the option to a Maestro card for certain countries. When you are adding your card the CVV number on the back is optional and if you don't have one then just leave the space blank. If you are still unable to add it please contact our team directly. 

To contact us please click on the contact us link at the bottom of any PayPal page.

Please let us know how you get on

Hi Picula2410,

Welcome to the UK Community Forum and thanks for posting!

Can I ask, what country do you currently reside in? The types of cards you can add to your PayPal account depend on the country you have opened your PayPal account in. If you click on this link and select your country, you will see the different cards that you can add.

I hope this helps!

Hi Snissel,

Welcome to the PayPal community forum. New members are always welcome.

Maestro cards are no compatible with PayPal I'm afraid however you can add this as a bank account instead. All you need to do is you click on the "add bank" option and enter your the details. Be sure to enter your IBAN number to ensure it works correctly.

Please let us know how you get on as it may help other members.
