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.

Is there a way to change the nickname for different payment methods? I have multiple accounts linked and I can only tell them apart by the last 4 digits of the account #. You’d think that you could name an account something that was easy to understand.

I have two different bank account registered as "payee" under my Paypal account. They are both from the same Bank, and called the same way. How can I rename both?

Come on. You'll have to understand that this is a very complicated issue and it's only been five years and 20 pages of requests for the issue so far. Paypal can't possibly have resources to listen to you. Where would that money come from?

Lol...you made my day. First chuckle of the day is always good. 😛

This topic is still falsely marked "SOLVED".  It is not solved.  When you click on "Go to Solution" there is no solution.

PayPal...where you at? 

It'll be the apocalypse and PayPal will reaffirm, "We are taking a serious look at implementing this feature. Thank you so much for your continued feedback and engagement at PayPal Forums."

Is there any way to change bank name? I have two bank accounts linked to make payments toward PayPal balance. They both state the same name. Many other credit companies allow me to "nickname" the account for ease of distinguish. Is there a way to nickname the bank accounts?

Yes, of course there is, but PayPal is still seriously considering implementing this... for the past 4 years.

What a load of BS. My bank for whatever reason has the unique identifying info in the beginning of the account number instead of the end. So when I go to transfer funds to my bank for various purposes, I see accounts that all look identical because they are all the same bank and same last 4 digits. Impossible to ensure that the money goes to the right account for the intended purpose. I hit the support chat and was told tough tittie, no possible way to address this problem. Got told to have the bank change my account numbers instead. 

So disappointed to see that people have been asking for this for FIVE YEARS but still no solution. Obviously people want and need this? Why is it so hard? There is literally no way for me to tell my bank accounts apart for transfer purposes. That is a problem!

PayPal don't listen to their customers, been trying to get this done for years! They are not interested! Wish there was another provider.😟
