Hello everyone,
I am trying to link my bank account now for months but I always receive the error message: "Sorry, we can't link your bank account right now."
Can somebody please help me in solving this issue? I phoned my bank and everything seems fine at their side.

Is it a bank account paypal accepts?
Is it an account issued in your country?
Does the name on the bank account match the name of your paypal account?
Have you added that bank account to any previous bank accounts?

@kernowlass thank you for your help.
To answer your questions:
Is it a bank account paypal accepts?
How do I know which bank accounts they accept? It's from the ING bank in Belgium.
Is it an account issued in your country?
I'm a Belgian citizen living in Cairo at the moment (temporarily) and the bank account is opened in Belgium.
Does the name on the bank account match the name of your paypal account?
Yes, it does.
Have you added that bank account to any previous bank accounts?
No, I haven't. I only tried linking it to my own paypal account.

The second one may be the issue.
Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.
So you would not be able to add a bank account to your Belgium paypal account if you are not in Belgium at the moment.
