Am having the same issue with my account " You cannot add a bank account at this time!" What could be causing this.

<<Referring to the highlighted text in your quote below>>

It seems the majority of the members have an issue with adding First Century Bank accounts. My questions are:

  1. How possible is it for my new bank account to be regitered to another Paypal Account without my knowledge?
  2. Can you confirm whether or not First Century Bank has been disabled in the PayPal System?
  3. What other factors can cause this error message besides the two mentioned below?

Hi there serp1412,

 

There are no known issues with adding bank accounts to PayPal accounts at the moment.

 

There could be many reasons why you cannot add a bank account, for example if it is already registered to another PayPal account or if your bank has been disabled in the system

 

Customer service can look into the specifics of your account and help with this. 

 

@3245- this is a community forum designed for members to help each other out not a customer service platform so if you require immediate assistance you need to call or email PayPal's customer service team by clicking on 'Contact Us' at the bottom of your account.

 

Let us know how you both get on!

Hi cherrierr,

 

Welcome to the Community Forum!

 

I’m sorry to hear you are having issues with withdrawing funds 😞

 

If you have already linked and confirmed a bank account on your PayPal account you won’t be able to add the same bank account for the second time when withdrawing funds, but you absolutely don’t need to do it. Just simply go to withdraw funds option and specify amount you wish to withdraw. After confirming the withdrawal, funds will be transferred onto the bank account you’ve previously added and verified.

 

You can find very helpful information how to withdraw funds from your PayPal account here: http://ow.ly/FWfEx.

 

Please make sure to clear cash, cookies and Java files on your PC before initiating the withdrawal.

 

Hope it will help you complete the withdrawal.
