When I try to add a bank account, the "Retreiving your bank account name" loader continues forever.
Monzo Bank current account is pretty new. I've epxerienced some places failing to approve their new Sort code (04-00-04).
Is there a way to bypass this, or alert someone to add Monzo to PayPals bank database?

I doubt paypal accept it as they don't accept 'virtual' banks.

Yeah, that's normally the case. However, Monzo got their official Bank status last year. I'd assume they would be approved.
"Monzo’s BIN is the 6 digit number at the beginning of your card (535522) & if the merchant’s database is out of date, they’ll typically identify it as a prepaid / credit card, rather than a debit card"

Its still a virtual bank though isn't it, and paypal does not accept those.
