Not sure you have the right card? Don't worry.
You can use Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, or American Express to make PayPal payments or you can fund your PayPal account using your local bank account.
PayPal has a partnership with Multicaja, which allows you to transfer funds to and from your local bank account.
One and done.
Once you've linked your payment method, you'll never enter your account numbers again. You'll pay with just your email and password—this is the key to secure and simple payments.
It's rewarding.
If you're currently earning points or miles through your credit card, you'll continue to earn those points when you use that card with PayPal. Plus, you can register for additional benefits, like Return Shipping on Us.
