Sending money to people internationally from a business account (canadian)

Hi!

I was just wondering if it was possible to send money to other people internationally as a Canadian business account

 

I know that depending on the country, paypal prohibits business accounts from sending money to people, especially if the business account is using the friends and family transfer feature, so I figured I should ask here first. I've heard of peoples business accounts getting banned for just.. using the friends and family money transfer too much? and I don't want to get my paypal banned when I just created it a week ago lmao

If you find yourself sending personal payments frequently, do open a personal account. We can have one personal and one business account. You can send f&f payments with business acct but should be on an occasional basis with clear payment note for…paying back a dinner bill or some other sort of reimbursement, for example. 

Yes, not all countries have the f&f option to send money regardless of account type.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

@sharpiemarker Thank you for your response!

Oh I'm definitely not planning on using paypal often for buying things lol

However, will they ban you depending on the amount of money you send on your business account? (i.e sending $7 is ok, but sending $50 is a bannable offense according to paypal) does it only apply when using the F&F feature?

Would you say that sending money 3 times in a week could risk getting a ban? What if I tried to pay a friend or family internationally using the F&F feature?
