Change paypal owner name

Hello,

 

My name is 'George' and the name of bank account owner is 'Georgios'. This is because in Greek language the name 'George'  is pronounced as 'Georgios' and I didn't pay attention that the names must be the same. The last name is the same. Will I have problem with linking my bank account?

 

Thanks in advance.

If you are linking bank account, PayPal will send 2 small deposits in to your bank account.  You put those 2 amounts in the bank account in your PayPal Wallet.

 

If you are linking a credit card or bank debit card, PayPal will make a test charge on your card with the 4-digit code. 

 

Your code will look like this in the item description section of your statement:

PayPal*1234 CODE or PP*1234 CODE

 

You put the 4 numbers next to the*


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Allright, the transaction appeared at my bank account.

 

>> Where is the 4-digit code? Is it after some specific words or letters? It has 'PP' but after that there are letters and numbers, NOT numbers.

 

>> Where I put the 4-digit code? Should I wait for an e-mail from Paypal?

You put the 4 number code in the Wallet page after clicking the card you are confirming.
