Transferwise US Account

Hello,

 

So I contacted Paypal regarding adding a US transferwise account to my UK account because I don't want to lose even more money on their poor rate exchange.  The short answer - we don't allow it anymore.  Anyone been able to add this recently?  I know for a fact you could in the past.

 

Thanks

If PayPal tells you that they don't allow it, follow their advice. With security the way it is these days, there is potential for account limitations place on your account eventually if you insist.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

The only valid reason for this is so paypal can collect 2x times.  1 on payment processing and 1 on currency xchange rate - which is terrible.  Funnily enough STRIPE allowed me to do this within 1 minute.

Did you find a way to do this in the end? I'm in the same boat and loathed to get whacked on a currency conversion.
