Wanting to take USA credits cards on card reader

Hi, I am visiting the USA and wish to take payments via card chip and pin. If I source an American PayPal card reader can I use my UK PayPal account to take chip and pic payments?

Hello @Butterfltreborn

 

Unfortunately you would not be able to receive a US card reader on a UK account. You may be able to apply for and receive a UK PayPal Here card reader when applied for from your UK account, but those payments may be geographically restricted to your home country. Here's a link to our UK PayPal Here page that should be able to assist a bit further. 

 

Cheers,
