I want to link my paypal account to BMO CHECKING ACCOUNT using transit code/bank code/account number instead of debit card/password.
I'd prefer not to share my debit card/password (online)
Is this possible?

Use option to link manually with bank account and routing number.
- Go to Wallet.
- Click Link a card or bank.
- Click Link a bank account.
- Click Link your bank another way.
You'll enter your bank account information and PayPal will send you 2 small deposits within 3 business days to confirm it.
Link and confirm a bank account manually
If you enter your bank account number manually, we’ll prompt you to confirm this bank account. Within 3 business days, check your bank statement or online banking activity for 2 small deposits (each between $0.01 and $0.99 USD) that PayPal sent. You can also contact your bank to find out the exact amounts of these deposits. Then you can enter these amounts in your PayPal account to finish confirming this bank account.
To confirm a bank you've linked on the web:
- Go to Wallet.
- Click the bank you want to confirm.
- Enter the exact amounts of the 2 deposits made to your account. For example, if you receive two deposits of $.05 and $.15, enter .05 and .15 on the screen.
- Click Submit.
Notes about the 2 small deposits:
- If you don't see the 2 small deposits in your bank statement, find this bank account in your Wallet and request that we resend them to you.
- Some banks combine the 2 small deposits as a single amount. If you only receive 1 small deposit, contact us to confirm your bank account or try to link it instantly.
- The small deposits are temporary and will be removed from your bank account. If the deposits are $.05 and $.15, you'll also see a debit of $.20 by PayPal on your bank statement.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
