Topping Up PayPal Account

Hi,

 

How do I top up my PayPal account with my credit card?

 

I need to transfer money to a business bank account, but need to use a credit card. So thought I could top up my PayPal account with my personal credit card and then transfer money to my bank account.

 

Any suggestions please for the best way to do it?

Hi @ajaa1967,

 

Thank you for your post. I'll be happy to clarify the capabilities of a PayPal account.

 

A card cannot be used to add funds to a PayPal account. However, a card can be used to fund a payment to another PayPal account. PayPal is not designed to be used to move funds from one funding method to another held by the same person.

 

I would suggest contacting the card issuing bank to inquire about whether or not they have any cash advance options. If they do, they may have a means of moving funds the way you are looking to do.

 

I hope this helps!
