Hello everyone,
I just got my bank account in Germany about 2 weeks ago and for some reason whenever i try to link it says "We're sorry. We're not able to process your request right now. Please try again later." but i been trying for 3 days now and still nothing.
I have a Volksbank account.

Hi @Raul2020
Sorry to know you're having an issue.
You may not be able to add your bank account for the following reasons:
- The bank account is already active in 2 PayPal accounts. A bank account cannot be active in 3 PayPal accounts at the same time. Start the process of removing the bank account from the PayPal account it is currently connected to. There is online help if you have forgotten your login data .
- The bank account has been added to a total of 3 PayPal accounts. A bank account cannot have more than 3 PayPal accounts added during its term.
- The holder of the bank account does not match the name in the PayPal account.
- The bank account is already active in a PayPal account that has a restriction or is in the red.
Unfortunately, there are some bank accounts that are not compatible with PayPal. This includes most pure online or prepaid bank accounts.
*Though multiple attempts may still trigger the internal security program and that can be a factor sometimes, I may suggest to try adding the bank maybe after a couple of days.
Hope this helps. Keep safe!
