How do I change my backup funding credit card now it has expired

My credit card is about to expire and I have added a new credit card to my PayPal account. I then tried to delete the old one and received the message that I could not remove my backup funding source.

However, I cannot find how to change my backup funding source to the new credit card.

I did find an option 'Make primary card' in the edit card screen but I am worried that this will make it my primary payment method. I want to keep my bank account my primary method of payment and only register the credit card in case.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone might be able to give.

Your bank account is always the default funding source UNLESS you change it to a card during the payment process.

 

So you need to make your new card primary then you should be able to remove the other one.
