How do I add money to my PayPal balance from my bank?

Here’s how to add money to your PayPal account from a bank account using your computer:

  1. Go to your Wallet.
  2. Click Transfer Money.
  3. Click Add money to your balance.
  4. Follow the instructions.

Adding money from your bank account to your PayPal account usually takes up to 3 business days.

Here are a few tips regarding adding money from a bank account:

  • It's only possible to add money via the PayPal website. This feature isn't currently available on the PayPal app.
  • Please only write the transfer ID in the payment reference field.
  • Only transfer the money from the bank account you registered with us. If you make a cash deposit or transfer from another bank account, we will not be able to allocate the payment to your account.
  • Please only make deposits in CHF. Payments in another currency will be returned or converted by the banks.
