How do I link a debit or credit card to my account?
Here's how to link and confirm a card to your PayPal account:
- Go to Wallet.
- Click Associate a debit or credit card.
- Enter the card information and click Associate Card.
- Click on the new card and then click on the Confirm card option.
- Click Get Code and then click Done.
- Visa
- Mastercard
- Discover
- American Express
Similarly, a $1.95 USD fee will be applied to your card to confirm it. This amount along with a 4-digit PayPal code will appear on your statement in 2 to 3 business days. The code sequence will look like PayPal*1234CODE or PP*1234CODE. You need the first 4 digits to confirm the card. Once confirmed, we will immediately refund the amount on your card.
To enter the 4-digit PayPal code to confirm the card, you should find a notification on your home page, under the bell icon. However, if you do not find it, do not worry, just follow these steps:
- Go to Wallet.
- Select the card you want to confirm and click on Enter code to confirm your card.
- Enter the 4-digit code and click on Confirm.
