Hi everyone,

I need some help to figure it out if I can transfer money while being in the outside of the U.S.

 

I am trying to transfer my PayPal balance in U.S. to my bank account, which is also in the U.S.

However, I have left from the U.S. and I cannot receive a text from PayPal with a confirmation number which I need for completing the process.

 

Does anyone know any other way to make the transfer? 

 

Please ask me if you need more detail about the situation or so.

 

Thank you for your time and support.

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / and bank accounts from within that country.

You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.

The only exception is U.S expats can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts (paypal is a U.S company so they allow their citizens to do this).
