Hello, 

Is there a way to assign a nickname for different bank accounts and credit cards that are linked to the PayPal account?  

 

I searched help and forum first, but found no answers.  Thanks much for any help or advice.

It's strange they still didn't add this feature...

It's much anticipated!

A vote from me too - If I have to get my wallet out to check which card ends in XXXX every time I make a transaction I may as well put the number in too! 🙂

I see I'm not the only one that wondered if this could be done. Has anyone heard anything back from PayPal? PayPal - do you have admins that review these community help forums?

This would be a really helpful capability.  I see no response from PP about this...

I 100% echo what everyone has said about this. I have multiple Visa and Mastercards and it's no help to me whatsoever if I need to get my wallet out everytime I want to pay with Paypal to identify the correct card. Really wish PP would respond to this!

This would be a very useful (and I assume easy to implement) feature.

Being able to give nicknames to the cards/accounts is an absolute necessity, not window-dressing.

 

I am an International Legal Adviser, active in several jurisdictions.

At one point I had over a dozen cards registered in PayPal, from different countries, in different currencies.

 

It was all so confusing that I have let most of them expire and now there are only two of the dozen still working.

I simply stopped using PayPal, as it was simply impossible to know each time which card, in which country and on what currency the charge would be!

 

If PayPal does not heed this feedback about adding readily visible friendly names, I am sure I will not be the only one who will turn his back completely to it
