No debit card option in 'add card'

[Diol]

Hello, I'm having challenges adding debit card to my account. Once I get to wallet, there is no option to choose debit or credit card type, it automatically chooses credit card itself. Please what am I doing wrongly and what's the solution?. Thanks.

Paypal is 'country specific' so advice often depends on what country you are in. As you have not added your country to your community profile or said in your post then we can't help at the moment.

Thanks for the reply. Country is Nigeria. We use debit cards mostly so it's understandable why I don't own a credit card..

I'm from Bulgaria and also have his problem. How to solve it - can I add my debit card as credit?

You can't add a local bank account / debit card in your country.
You can only link a credit card.

Also the option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Angola.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.
