 Having trouble activating bank account. PayPal said they're going to deposit £0.01 in my bank account and it may take up to 2 hours, I've waited longer than 2 hours and nothing has yet to arrive. I've requested a new code but still nothing. Please help!

Are you adding a UK bank account to a UK paypal account?

 

Is it a bank that paypal accept?

 

Are you adding your bank account or a debit card?

 

Only you SHOULD NOT have to wait 2-3 days for a code for your bank account, you only wait that time when you link a card.

Then you are right it should only be a couple of hours.

 

I would give customer services a call if the code has not arrived by the morning and they can see if there is any problem.

All the details have been entered correctly. In my paypal wallet, it's asking me to confirm with the 4 digit code to my bank account which I have not yet received.
