Unable to confirm my bank account, stuck on final details

Help! I am trying to verify my bank account but I keep getting stuck. My bank is a credit union from CO. When I try to confirm instantly, it gets to "final details", but just keeps spinning there and doing nothing. I tried the small deposit method, but it has been four days and still no sign of any deposits. I even tried calling customer service, but my calls keep getting bounced off. What can I do to confirm my account when none of these things work?

I don't have any other bank accounts. Am I going to have to set up a bank account just to use PayPal then? If so, I am going to be pretty ticked off.

Not much anyone can do here to help.  Not all financial instutitions are acceptabl and no one has any clue about the name of the one you are using.

You can phone PayPal cusrtomer service for help.

You can open a real bank account and use that.

You can try a different payment service if PayPal isn't suitable for your business.

It could be the routing number of your credit union bank,you can google and find the routing number of banks which clear thru ACH,if it is not there,Paypal would not be able to clear your bank transactions,so Paypal is not for you if you cant come up with another bank.

Any one of those large money center banks should be fine

I found my routing number for Ent Federal Credit Union in the directory, but is the directory for all clearing numbers?

credit union is not a bank,so it does not clear overseas transactions as it does not have an intl SWift or other intl number  ,it goes thru a corresponding bank.

You are not the only one who has problem signing up a credit union account ,since Paypal covers 203 countries,I wonder if you are running into problem because it is a credit union,not a bank.

you have to call Paypal and ask,you cant be the first or last who has problem

banks usually have more than one routing number,they should all be able to clear.

but if the routing number you used comes from the bottom of your check,then it must be a good number.

you have to call Paypal and ask why it is not accepting the number,
