Hi,

So my friend does not use her last name in both her bank account and pan card and adhaar card. Can she still open a paypal account and recieve payments from others?

Hi @demsulem,

 

A PayPal account must be opened in the name that matches the name on the PAN card, but I do not believe that it's possible to create an account with only one name. Please ask your friend to try to open the account using the name exactly as it appears on the PAN card. If it does not work, I regret that it may not be possible to open a PayPal account.

I opened Paypal account with the same firstname and lastname because i dont have last name. The problem is i cant get my money transferred to my bank account because of that. So, how can it be fixed?
