I've switched countries

Hi, everyone. For years I lived in Australia and had a Paypal account.  It still exists, and is linked to my Australian bank account, which is still active.

 

 

Now, I've moved to the United Kingdom.  I have a British bank account now.  I would like to use Paypal with the British account.

 

Do I need to close my Australian Paypal account, and then open a new account (with the same username) linked to the British account?

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 / and bank accounts from within that country.

You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.
