Verifying bank

[sue2020]

Hello, I am about to confirm my bank but it is asking for my user ID and password for my bank.  This seems a bit much...has everyone else done this?

Hi @sue2020,

Welcome to the community and thank you for your post. We would never ask for your banking password. Please do not share this and if you have, be sure to change your password and run a full scan for viruses on any device you currently use. Please see the exact steps on how to verify your bank account Here.

Hope this helps,

Siobhan

Since you said the PayPal would never I attached a screen shot to verify that we are being ask by the web page, this page is either PayPal or a hacker?  Which is it?  Care to respond?

Yes, I've gone down this path, or attempted to on both the Android PayPal app and my desktop computer. Both fail with errors:

Now that you mention it, supplying your banking username and password is a stretch, though most banks use at least two factor authentication. Maybe their (broken) system takes this into consideration, since upon first entering your banking UN and PW, you are then asked to additionally enter info only your bank would have on file - demonstrating your bank and PayPal are communicating.
