How to transfer money from PayPal account to a bank account in Qatar?

[esraasaad]

Hello Community,

It seems that I am facing difficulty to transfer funds from my PayPal account to my bank/ cards. I live in Qatar, and when I click on transfer funds I get only two options whether to transfer to a U.S bank account which i don't have, or using Qatar National Bank, which I tried and didn't work (after setting up my PayPal account to QNB it decline the request of transferring the payment). Please I need help as I really need to transfer money from my PayPal account. I can't find any option inside the PayPal to transfer money (the only option I can use is through my QNB PayPal service which didn't work as mentioned). Please see below the two options available to use after clicking on transfer.

Hi @esraasaad,

Welcome to the community and thank you for your post!

I do understand your frustration with this. PayPal is currently not facilitated to enable direct bank withdrawals or Top ups in Qatar due to country regulations. 

Qatar National bank has the ability facilitate Top Ups, send money, account creation, and look to facilitate withdrawals within the near future.

I understand you are being shown the option, however, it sounds like the feature is not yet avilable. I do apologize for any inconvenience this is causing. 

To withdraw your funds, you will need to add a US bank account. 

I hope this helps!

Ok I do understand that I need a US bank account, if I live in Qatar. but my question is now how can I open a US bank account while living in Qatar and How can I transfer that money from US Bank Account to Qatar bank Account. Plz note that I am a resident of Qatar.

Hi @Mfaiyaz and welcome, 

For the US bank account question I'm afraid I cannot advise however I am sure you would find some information online by searching something like "opening a US bank account from Qatar". In regard to withdrawing your funds, you would need to withdraw them to your US bank account and then transfer them to your Qatar bank account. I would check with your bank in Qatar for timeframes and fees. 

Thanks
