What should I do if my PayPal Debit Card is lost, stolen, or damaged?

If your PayPal Debit Card is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can report it to us, and we’ll send you a replacement card.

Once you report your card lost or stolen, we’ll permanently close it.

To report your PayPal Debit Card as lost, stolen, or damaged:

  1. Go to your Dashboard and click PayPal Debit Card .
  2. Click Manage Card.
  3. Click Replace lost, stolen, or damaged card.

To report your PayPal Debit Card lost or stolen in the app:

  1. Tap Wallet.
  2. Tap your PayPal Debit Card.
  3. Tap Report your card lost or stolen.

If you can't find your PayPal Debit Card or want to lock it temporarily to avoid unauthorized charges, you can use the Lock/Unlock toggle in the PayPal app. Once you lock the card, we’ll stop any payments you try to make. Some automatic payments may still go through, depending on the merchant. 

Here’s how to lock or unlock your PayPal Debit Card using our app: 
  1. Tap Wallet.
  2. Tap your PayPal Debit Card.
  3. Tap Manage.
  4. Slide the toggle next to Lock card to lock and unlock card.
