Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.
When you are confirming a bank account on your PayPal account we send a direct debit agreement to your bank. If they do not accept this agreement the code will not be posted to your statement. What you can do is remove the bank from your account and add it again. That restarts the process and sends a new code. That way you can be sure that there are no errors in the information added. Here's how to remove your bank account https://www.paypal.com/gb/selfhelp/article/how-do-i-add-or-change-a-bank-account-on-my-paypal-accoun... .
