Hi,
Everytime I try to add my bank account I receive this error message:
"We were unable to process your bank account registration at this time. We apologise for the inconvenience. Please try again at a later date."
Talking to paypal support just provides me with generic advice on adding my account.
I know how to add the account, and I have tried the 2 different methods that support have suggested, but still it does not work.
My bank account has never been linked to another paypal account.
If somehow paypal could tell me why I receive this error, then I could do something about it. But at the moment, the only answer I receieve is telling me how to add the account (which obviously I know how to do, else I wouldn't get as far as receiving the error!)
Any help would be great.
thanks,
David

You will need to change your country. I had to open a new account and it worked.
Your address might be a different country than the country your recipient bank acc is from.

I have the same problem. The message I had (many times):
We were unable to process your bank account registration at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again at a later date.
Why? Why it could work "a later date" and not now?
My bank account is from Payoneer, Bank of America, USA.
My Paypal account has my country: Argentina.
I think it is a common association: PayPal, Payoneer account, there are many post from users around the world adding Payoneer bank account to Paypal.
Even Payoneer mentioned it:
http://www.payoneer.com/payment-services/en/paypal/
with an image about "Add a bank account" in Paypal
Any cue? Why that message? Why "try later"?

I could add my account asking via direct message to Twitter account @askpaypal
I explained my case, give them my email address, and then they change something in my account, so I could add my USA bank account.
Now, I have a difference in names (my Bank account, and Paypal). I went to profile, change name, uploaded a photo id document. I hope paypal will change my name
Thanks!
