Hi! I'm wondering how I could create a personal account under my business account. Is this possible? I wanted to separate my business paypal account from my personal one since the name sometimes confuses people when I send/request money.
Thank you!

Hi @asdfghju,
Welcome to the PayPal Community, and thank you @KamalGangu for the info!
It is not possible to have a personal PayPal account, linked to a business PayPal account. They would need to be two separate PayPal accounts.
To create a personal account, simply go to paypal.com and click Sign Up. You would need to use a different email address to the one you use for your business account. This will allow you to separate any payments you make, and prevent any confusing with the name on your account.
I hope this helps!

Hello @asdfghju
It looks like you are trying to create a personal account for your other purposes. Sure, you can create a new personal account using another email ID.
To keep you informed, you will not be able to use the same card or the bank that is already updated on your business account.
