Just going to help point it out: Here are some common issues you might encounter when linking a bank account: The bank account must be a Canadian bank. - HSBC Bank of Canada is a Canadian bank. https://www.hsbc.ca The bank account can’t be linked to more than one account at a time. - I haven't been able to link my HSBC account in the first place, and no one I know who uses paypal has either. The bank account can't be linked if it has already been linked to 3 previous PayPal accounts. - Same as the above answer. The name on the bank account must match the name on the PayPal account. - Again, legal names are exactly the same. There's no option in the first place to enter the bank - through debit, credit or bank account. We can confirm accounts from most banks and credit unions. Unfortunately, there are some banks that are not compatible with PayPal. Most online only, prepaid banks cannot be added to PayPal accounts. - I think in this case, is HSBC not compatible, or has PayPal genuinely never tried to set it up yet? I see HSBC as one of the banks up there with BMO, Vancity and Scotiabank - it's a 'brand' name. I'd just like a confirmable answer whether it's just not compatible and never will be, or it could be compatible and there'll be an update to paypal somewhere in the future. Or at least, it's a known issue, and someone will eventually get to it. Please just tell us if it's never going to be an option on paypal or it may be in the future.
