My bank account type is automatically CHECKING

Will someone please help me? I followed all the instructions to link my LBP Savings Account to my Paypal but I wasn't asked whether my account type was 'checking' or 'savings'. I looked it up on Customer Support and it said that at the bottom right of the 'Link a Bank Account' page, I will be able to see a button that will allow me to do this. But it is not there!

 

I withdrew some money about a week ago and realized the delay was too much. I finally figured out what was wrong but I couldn't seem to find any solutions on the internet.

There is two ways to add/verify bank.  One is where you use your online banking login for instant verification and the other is where you click "I use a different bank" to manually enter bank details where you select bank account type and enter bank acct # and routing number and then you wait for the test deposits and enter them in the bank in the wallet page.

 

Is you bank account still linked/verified?  If there is a transaction pending you cannot remove bank account until everything is complete.  If you remove bank, wait some time about a week to try and add it again.  If it doesn't let you add it again, contact PayPal customer service in your region to reset that bank account so you can add it again.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I think it means PayPay is checking wheter it's valid or not. I wanted to withdraw my funds and it said it might tight 24 hours, because I just added the bank account. We just need to wait, but since this topic is almost a year old, you probably should know that.

Have you successfully withdrawn funds though it shows checking? I have recently added my savings account and encountered the same issue. I haven't withdrawn funds yet because I'm uncertain if it's going to work.
