Having problem in connecting paypal account with bank account.

Hi i am trying to connect my paypal account with my bank account that is in qatar. and for that purpose it is asking me for ROUTING NUMBER. i spoke with bank customer support they told me they just have swift code not any routing number. Because in qatar they dont operate with routing number they just use the swift code. can you please tell me how can i connect my paypal account with bank account.?

You can't add a local bank account in your country.
You can only add a linked card.
The only exception is you can add a U.S bank account to other countries paypal accounts. This is because Paypal is a U.S company.

Then how can I withdraw money..?

Unfortunately the U.S bank account option is the only option in your country.

Click on the link and select your country from the drop down list.

Then you would probably have the option to 'spend' the funds in your balance when you purchase items.

Read this thread for clarification from a moderator.
