Linking EEFC bank account (USD) to paypal india

[bharath_gowda]

Hi All,

We have a small business running and our clients will be paying us in USD.

Currently i am able to link my current account which is in INR to paypal india and i am thinking, as the money received in USD in our paypal account will be transferred to our bank account in INR everyday, we will be loosing a lot due to currency conversions and when we have to pay our clients/service providers we will have to pay in USD, and again we loose money while currency conversions.

my question is there is a provision to open EEFC account in India with USD currency, and we can provide the routing number and account number so that paypal can send money received to our USD account without any currency conversions.

i could not see any options/ online resources which explains on how to link our EEFC USD account in paypal india.

any help or pointers for linking EEFC account would be much appreciated.

I am also looking for the same solution. I would like to withdraw USD into my EEFC USD Bank account. 

@PayPal please look into this issue and help us out asap.

I've contacted the PayPal and they have said the following, which means there is on solution from there as of now:

--- I understand you would like to add EEFC account to withdraw funds in foreign currency. I apologize we do not have an option to add this account. As we have Indian PayPal account and Indian banks linked for which any currency payments you receive in your account will be automatically withdrawn in INR. ---
