Hello,
my girlfriend has a problem. she needs transfer money from one us bank to another us bank. she is us citizen, but born and lived her full life in germany. we searching for it and one of the easiest ways for that is paypal. she has a german paypal account, but the customer support in germany said we need an us one and yes we can only add german banks here :(. is there any possibility for her to create an us paypal account or add an us bank to her german account for transfering money w/o currency exchange from us to us bank. the problem with creating an us account is no one has a us cellnumber here, we have only german cell phone number. if there is no possibility maybe someone can explain other service to transfer money from us banks.
kindly regards,
Euryal3

Paypal is country specific so you have to open a paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.
You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
