Hey yaninaS,
As you didn’t remove your bank from your old account before closing it the system will not allow you to add it to your new account. I would advise contacting us via phone so we can search for the old account and remove it. Then you will be able to add it to your new account.

Hi there yaninaS,
Have you removed the bank account from your old PayPal account? Bank accounts can only be added to one PayPal account at any one time.
What is the exact error message you are receiving?

For security purposes, your bank account cannot be added because it has been previously registered with another PayPal account. Please add a different bank account.
got this msg today. the other paypal account it was used with as been closed down and is no longer used. so how come i cant use it for my new account??
