  2. Click Profile near the top of the page.
  3. Click My money.
  4. In the 'Bank accounts' section click Update or Link bank.
  5. Click Add.
  6. Enter the requested information and then click Add Bank Account.
  7. A bank account can be registered to only one PayPal account at a time.
  8. You can add up to eight bank accounts to a verified PayPal account.

  4. In the 'Bank accounts' section click Update.
  5. Click Remove next to the bank you want to remove.
  6. Review your account information, and then click Remove.

Note: If the account you want to remove is your primary bank account, select a new primary bank account.
To select the Primary Bank Account:

I want to close my pay pal account and the instructions state I should remove my bank account and card details before closing the account. The only instructions I have seen for removing the bank account are when you are replacing it with another. Is there anyway to just remove the account? thanks
