assign a nickname for bank accounts and credit cards?

[PNWgreen]

Hello, 

Is there a way to assign a nickname for different bank accounts and credit cards that are linked to the PayPal account?  

I searched help and forum first, but found no answers.  Thanks much for any help or advice.

No nicknames has COST ME MONEY

I've been a customer since 2000 and remember when there used to be a nickname field - for the love of all things holy, please bring this back. 

Within the last year, I've linked two accounts and two cards - all from one bank, which makes them impossible to tell apart.

I've paid with the wrong account at least 3 or 4 times and one of those led to an overdraft fee from my bank.

when checking to pay, wouldn't it be helpful to put a note next to cards number so that you could identify the card you would want... instead of having to pull out all the cards to see the numbers and names.   example: .... 2134    att visa

                                                                                                                                      ......5678    sears master card

you mean like a nickname,?

I have several bank accounts and I would like to give them names, because I don't have the account numbers memorized.

Nope, no such feature at the moment.

I propose to let us identify our cards and bank accounts with nicknames.. sometimes we don't recognize our last 4 digits of any of the different cards o bank accounts and we can pay with the wrong one and that can definitely happen..

Please.. is a good idea

It will probably happen when your local bank allows you to open an acount with a nickname.  Like never.

I have several bank accounts that I transfer money to and would like to add a nickname to each account to make it more recognizable.  I have opened accounts with Suntrust with my real name and they allow you to add a nickname on their online banking site, so it does exist.  Is it possible to do the same on PayPal?  I don't always recognize the last 4 digits of all my accounts.

Thanks,

I have a local bank and they allow nicknames on my online banking. I definitely would love nicknames on Paypal also. ALL 3 of my business accounts have the same numbers except for the last 4 digits. Yes, that could become confusing, LOL!
