Why can't I instantly confirm my bank account?

Paypal isn't even giving me the option to confirm instantly. I have online banking and want to confirm instantly but it's forcing me to wait 2-3 days for the 2 small deposits. I don't mind waiting but I was wondering why it's not giving me the option when I have online banking.
Is it only certain banks that offer instant confirmation or what?
Or is there another way to tell them that's what option I want to do?

Unfortunately not all banks can be instantly confirmed. When you link your bank, you will either have the instant option or not. ( I believe PayPal uses a 3rd party resouce to check a bank's name when you first link it. If they don't get the info they require to proceed with that process, you won't see the option.)

Once you fail numerous times when trying to confirm instantly, you will only get the option to confirm by bank deposits only. Even if you remove and reattach the bank, it will still go to deposits.
