Cannot add Bank Account

Dear All,

 

 

I am from Hungary and am struggling with adding my Raiffeisen Bank account to my PayPal. I was using the debit card with PayPal since ages and not once I had any issues, it was always working flawlessly, I also confirmed the card recently. However, when I type my Bank name and account number on PayPal's website (it can be 16-24 characters long and mine is 24 characters) it gives me the error "We cannot process this for you right now", or something like this...very similar.  I have never ever linked this bank account to PayPal since I've never been able to because of this but I got some money which I would like to transfer to my account. I didn't try calling PayPal yet because I think there might be a different name in their system instead of "Raiffeisen Bank" for the name, not sure but they are not really helpful on chat though.

 

Please if anyone has an idea how to solve this, it would be very much appreciated.

 

John

Hi,

 

No, it hasn't been solved till this day. In the meanwhile, I was able to contact PayPal regarding this and they told me, that "any account number which is ending in "001" is not acceptable by the system, they are aware of it and are trying to fix this. 

 

This was a couple of months ago...nothing happened, so I guess you will need to use a different account, sadly.

 

Thanks.:
