I have been trying to a bank account all week, with no success. When I contacted live chat they said it was because of a security issue, but would elaborate. They did say it would resolved in 48 hours, which was up yesterday. Had anyone else had the same issue and if how did you resolve it. Thanks

Here are some common issues you might encounter when linking a bank account:

  • The bank account must be a UK bank.
  • The bank account can’t be linked to more than one account at a time.
  • The bank account can't be linked if it has already been linked to 3 previous PayPal accounts.
  • The name on the bank account must match the name on the PayPal account.

 

Paypal can confirm accounts from most banks and credit unions. Unfortunately, there are some banks that are not compatible with PayPal, including most online only or prepaid bank accounts.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
