Adding Canadian bank account

Hello, 

 

Can somebody help me with adding Canadian bank account? Everytime I want to bank account it offers me only the Czech republic or the US. Why is there no option to add a Canadian one? 

 

Thank you,

Tereza

It would help if you said what country you were actually in AND what countries Paypal account you have.

So, I made the account in the Czech republic, but now I stay in Canada, I have Canadian address in my account and it is also in Canadian dollars. No other cards or bank account are connected. I just need to add the Canadian one, but it does not give me this option.

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / and bank accounts from within that country.

You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.

The only exception is U.S expats can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts (paypal is a U.S company so they allow their citizens to do this).

I have set up one in Canada and it still does not work. I am now trying again to set up another one, but it does not accept my zip code since there are letters in it.

You are only allowed x2 Paypal accounts maximum and only then if x1 is personal and the other x1 is business.

If you keep opening new ones then you risk them ALL being permanently limited.

 

Have you opened a Canadian paypal account? Only if you LIVE in Canada then your postcode should not be a problem on your Canadian Paypal account.
