The account you entered would need additional review. Please link a different bank account. 

If you would still like to use this bank account, you may fax us a copy of the bank statement with the two amounts PayPal deposited in your bank account shown and a copy of your driving licence or other photo ID. You must use this form for your fax cover sheet and send the fax to (402) 537-5780.

Hi susanrobson9, 

 

If you have a UK PayPal account you can only add UK financial information. You will be unable to add your Portuguese bank account to this PayPal account. I understand that this can be inconvenient however we do this for security purposes. 

 

I hope this helps explain

I have a similar problem: When I try to add a my back account, it keeps saying: "We're sorry, but that bank can't be linked to any more PayPal accounts. Please link a different bank account." Despite the fact that I only have one Bank account.

 

Can someone help me with this, please?

 

Thank you.

AshleyJC90. The same happened to me.

I forgot registering through another email address in the past. 

The bank account was already registrated (linked) to another paypal account.

 

Probably your bank account has already been linked to another Paypal account.Paypal doesn't let one bank account be linked to 2 or more paypal account.

Security above all I guess?!

 

Didn't you register and linked it before? Or maybe someone else??

 

 that number has been added to a PayPal account previously. Is there someone in your household who might have used the account information? Was your information used without your permission? Take a look at your bank statements and see if you can find any charges you didn't approve.

Someone else said:

 

I think I know what happened. I set up an account with PayPal back in the Stone Age just to make purchases, and forgot all about it.  I tried to set up a business account and sell gift certificates on my web site, but I get the evil "We're sorry, but that bank can't be linked to any more PayPal accounts. Please link a different bank account." from **bleep**. 

 

same happened to you i think!

I have been trying to add a bank account as I have a new one and it just won't let me, Which is very annoying when I can't transfer my funds. It keeps showing this message and Iv been trying for 2 days now. Sorry, an error occurred after you clicked the last link If you were in the process of buying something, or sending money to family or friends, we recommend you check both your PayPal account and your email inbox for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes. If you came to this page from another website, you may want to return to that site (we advise that you don't just use your browser's back button) and restart your activity. If you stumbled upon this page from the PayPal website, simply click the PayPal logo in the top left corner to return to the UK home page and restart your activity. You might have to log in again. If you wish to sign up to PayPal, please click the PayPal logo and then click the “Sign up” button.
