Dear community
I have own company on Gibraltar (British Overseas Territory, not USA).
1. If you go on English website: www.paypal.co.uk you cant choose Gibraltar from registration form and even if you not set up your country(optional) Gibraltar Zip Code is treated as invalid and is not accepted.
Is not only my problem: /t5/Subscriptions/Gibraltar-post-code/td-p/1026817?profile.language=en-gb
So for Paypal English Gibraltar is not a English land... well, really nice. There is absolutely no information what to do with this. But...
2. I found the way - global Paypal website https://www.paypal.com/gb/webapps/mpp/country-worldwide, with Gibraltar users link on it!. I go from there there to Gibraltar, I used option "Own a business? Open a Business account.". I registered my business from (ENGLISH!) Gibraltar, with full address and (OMG finally) proper zip code... and what?
3. Im trying add bank account and there is ONLY option for U.S, American bank account details?
I'm fighting with this 2 weeks, can you PLEASE help me 😞
Your phone helpline is helpless in my case.
Thanks to everybody!
Damian

Sorry i am confused, I am in the UK and just did a 'pretend' sign up to open an account and Gibralter is definately there in the drop down list.
Added to that its on this list below as well.
Click on the link below and select the country you want from the drop down list for options available in that country.

Different countries can withdraw funds from their paypal accounts to either bank accounts / cards or both, it changes country to country.
In Gibralter you can only withdraw to a card.
The U.S bank account option is on MOST OTHER COUNTRIES paypal accounts as paypal is a U.S company and allows its ex-pats to link their U.S bank accounts to another countries paypal account.
However that option is not put their for you to use.
If you click on the UK country option you will see it on there as well, plus nearly every other country in the world but its for U.S exp pats only that are living or working in that country.

Gibraltar International Bank doesn't offer bank card (debit or credit) for a business accounts. I have only bank account. It's easy to verify.
Is any way to add bank account, like for company from England?
They using same bank rules with sort codes and all other details, Gibraltar is English teritory.
Please, can anybody from Paypal will react on this nonsense?

But you would need to contact customer services as this is a user to user help forum.
Good luck.
