Connect Arubian bankaccount to business account?

Hello,

I am trying to create a Paypal business account for our foundation in Aruba and link our Aruban bankaccount to it, but it's not working very well.

It either asks for an IBAN number, which our bankaccount doesn't have. Or it thinks I am in the states and won't let me fill in our address in Aruba.

How do I solve this and get this account up and running?

You can't add a local bank account / debit card in your country.
You can only link a credit card.
The only exception is Paypal allow a U.S bank account to be linked to most countries paypal accounts. This is because Paypal is a U.S company.

Also the option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Aruba.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.
