Do I need to match the name of every bank account with my PayPal name (Real name) I link?
I'm trying to send money to my friend's bank account, so if I link his bank account using his account and routing number, will it be successful?
The names won't match.
TIA

Hi @Zeckatz2,
Thank you for your post!
The name on the PayPal account must match the name on the bank account. It is not possible to add the bank account of another person on the PayPal account. If you need to send money to your friend, you can send the money to your friend's PayPal account. Then, your friend can transfer the money to the bank account linked to the PayPal account.
Hope this helps.
