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.

Seriously PayPal... do this already.

Let me add a nickname or identifier to each card that I have added to my account. 

It is so simple and would help us all a whole lot.

My wife and I have a couple of accounts at the same bank, and both are tied to the PayPal account. They both appear with the same name, with the last 4 digits of the respective account numbers. It would be much easier for me to decide which account to transfer to if I could label them as we refer to them. I keep forgetting which last 4 digits belongs to which account. Is this possible?

I found things online which say how to do it, but they talk about clicking "Profile" at the top of the page. But I do not see "Profile" when I log in. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

I have several visas that I use for different purposes.  Paypal only lists thte last 4 numbers which means each time i have to dig out the card ot be sure I am using the right one.  Is there any way of assigning a nickname to the card rather than just VISA ****1234?  I'd rather call it Amazon or Personal or Only use for Buying Soap or some other ridiculous name so that i can remember which card it is.  If not, Paypal should consider offering this option the way my bank does.l

Hi there ...

• I have just added a second card to my Paypal account - so now my Paypal account has 2 cards associated with it.
• Incidentally, the last 4 digits / numbers of both cards are the same! When shopping I am finding it impossible to tell which card is which (in the option to choose the card to affect a payment with, they both show up with the same last 4 numbers: e.g. XXXX 1234.  [Their expiry dates are different - but this information does not show when it comes to choosing the card to affect a payment with).
• Is there a way by which I can identify or distinguish among the two cards - to know which card is which at the check-out shopping stage (in order to decide which card to pay with)?
• Perhaps, from the Paypal settings page, can one give a 'name' to the cards, to be able to distinguish among them? ... or maybe have the cards' expiry dates also always show up when presented with the card selection stage during check-out - in order to tell the difference?

I thank you for your help!

Best wishes

The oldest request for this feature is from 2011: https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Bank-accounts-and-credit-cards/custom-or-quot-friendly-names-quo...

C'mon PayPal, you really should implement this.

+1 for this.  I just charged something to my personal card instead of my work one because I don't have the card numbers memorised.  And why should I have them memorised?  Surely the whole point of PayPal is that you don't need to have the card with you?  Isn't it?  Or am I missing something?

I really hate it when something as obvious as this isn't implemented by a big corporate.  And they offer no explanation as to why not, just feed us their PR **bleep**.

Five months since the "solution" was posted, which states that voices are being heard regarding this feature. Still not a feature.

Please, PayPal, consider adding this feature. As a web developer, I can't see where the difficulty lies in adding a text field to a record.

This seems like such a basic feature that I thought it was me who couldn't find it.

Why is this thread set to "solved" if there is no solution?

I REALLY need to label the business and personal cards I use on my account. Billing errors are very costly.
Help label the cards available?
