Confirm my debit or credit card

[Dagii]

If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check both your PayPal account and your email for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes.

If you came to this page from another website, please return to that site (don't use your browser's Back button) and restart your activity.

If you came from PayPal's website, click the PayPal logo in the upper-left corner to return to our home page and restart your activity. You might have to log in again.

Hi @Dagii, 

Welcome to the Community Forums!

It sounds like before completing your purchase, you'll need to verify your credit or debit card. We ask you to link and confirm your card to verify that you are the card owner.

Here’s how to link and confirm your card:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click Wallet at the top of the page.
3. Click + Link a card.
4. Enter your details and click Save.

We’ll charge your card $1.95 USD (or the equivalent.) This charge and a 4-digit PayPal code appear on your card statement within 2 to 3 business days. The code sequence appears as PayPal*1234CODE or PP*1234CODE. You will need the first 4 digits to confirm your card. After the card is confirmed, we will immediately refund the card. Your card issuer will credit your card balance within 30 days from the date of the refund.

If you can’t access your online statement or this 4-digit code is unavailable online, check your next paper statement for this code. We cannot provide you with the 4-digit confirmation code by any other method.

To enter the 4-digit PayPal code to confirm your card there should be a notification on your home page. Otherwise:

1. Log in to your account and click Wallet.
2. Click the card you're confirming.
3. Enter the 4-digit PayPal code and submit.

I hope this helps!
