Adding funds to my account

[jonesk733]

Is there any other way of adding funds to my account without going through my bank account, ie at a pay point outlet etc.  I have some money that I want to add to my account.  I have no funds in my current account and it is a 50 mile round trip to my nearest Hallifax to deposit it.  I can take it to my local Post Officce but that takes an extra day to credit.  So I though I could pay it to my pay pal account and then maybe transfer it to my bank account.

Hi there jonesk733,

The only way to add funds to your PayPal account is using your own bank account. 

Here’s how:

1. Log in to your PayPal account at www.paypal.co.uk
2. Click ‘Add Funds’ near the top of the page.
3. Choose to move money to your PayPal account yourself (almost instantly), or let us do it for you (in 5-7 working days).

If you want to move money yourself:

• Under 'You move money from your bank account', click 'Continue'.
• Make a note of the payment details (in red) and log in to your online banking to make a payment to your PayPal account.
• Your money will arrive in your PayPal account within a few minutes. We'll email you when it arrives

If you want us to move money for you, your bank needs to be confirmed. If so, here's how:

• Under 'PayPal moves money from your bank', click 'Continue'.
• Select the bank account you want to use, enter the desired amount and click ‘Continue.’
• Review the details and click ‘Submit’. (Click ‘View the details of this transaction’ to see the expected date for the money to arrive.)
• Your money will arrive in your PayPal account in 5 - 7 working days. You can check the status at any time by going to your PayPal transaction ‘History’ and checking the transaction status.
