How long does it take to confirm a bank account? I did all the steps and didn't recieve a passcode. Do we have to go to the bank to get the code in order to confirm or are they emailed to us?

Welcome to the boards!
If PayPal is sending random deposit amounts to your bank account, that will take about two to three business days. Check your bank statement, write down the amounts, and then log back into PayPal. There will be a place to enter them in and that will finish the confirmation process.
Thanks!
Adrian

After the random deposits have been sent out (usually next business day), a reminder module should open on your Account Overview with a link to complete the process. If thats not there, go to Profile > My Money > Update (beside Bank Accounts) > Confirm next to your bank.
Just enter the correct amounts and you'll be good to go!

Adrian,
It actually does not work that way all the time! It did the first time I tried and I had the option to either verify via bank deposits or direct online by loging into my bank account... A fee days later once I had my deposit amounts, i went to verify and it did not show that I had a bank account listed. I then readded the bank account and it told me I couldnt as it was already regestered but needed verified.. Bottom line looks like your programmers logic is broken! I then sent in a help request via the contact link when I got the error and after a day received a message to do what I said I couldnt do to verify my account.
Sounds to me that you really need to hire more compentant programmers, and customer services folks and then learn to test your software BEFORE you deploy it to the community!
Ivr been fighting this for more than a week now instead of spending money buying things.. I'm frustrated but your loosing business on my lack of being able to spend.. That said, the message I (and from what Ive read, others too) are getting from PayPal's inability to correct their website errors and communicate more clearly on problem resolution, is for me to look for other options to do business.
If you want to have a job next month you might want to read and then take actions to correct all these problems before there no one left that can spend money with you.
p.s. excuss the typos.. typing on phone.
