Hi,
Our business account is in GBP but we get many payments in USD and AUD.
We have a bank account (wise) with AUD and USD as currencies but it seems that there is no way to add a foreign bank account to the PayPal account.
Is there a way to withdraw the amount in the original currencies without having to pay the ridiculous exchange fees?

Paypal is country specific so you have to open a paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.
You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
