I added a bank account to my account. Yet I still have to pay a fee when sending money to friends. Why? I thought it was supposed to be free.

Hi @Barryk2, Welcome to the community and thanks for posting. If you’re sending money to a friend or family member, select “Sending to a Friend" or "Friends and Family." You can make a personal payment to anyone in the U.S. for free if you use your bank account, PayPal cash account or PayPal Cash Plus account. If you use a debit or credit card, there is a small charge for your payment. I hope this helps. If this post or any other was helpful, please enrich the community by giving Kudos or accepting it as a Solution. Stay safe.

Whether its free or not is dependent on where you are.

Hi. It was done through my bank account and we both live in the US, so I don't get it.
