Hi there,
I am trying to setup a business account for my New Zealand-based business. But when I tried to fill out the profile, I see I can only choose a US address (choosing countries other than use will automatically clear the country field) and I cannot add my bank account (it requires a routing number, which has not been adopted by New Zealand banks). I wonder if it is possible to use Paypal as a payment method for my company, or do I have to have a US company to do so?

Hi @Finorix080,
Welcome to the PayPal Community and thank you for your post!
I do understand your concern with this. PayPal is country specific. This means a PayPal account should only be created in the country you are currently living in.
If you are living in the US, then you are only permitted to have a US PayPal account. This is due to regulations. There are no exceptions to this I'm afraid.
I hope this helps!
