Good day Paypal users,
I am making my very first funds transfer.
When you are linking the bank using the routing number and account number it requires you to confirm that its you using a mobile phone authentication process. My phone number is apparently invalid so I would like to rather confirm using my email address.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @ThaneX08
Welcome to PayPal community.
You can try adding a different phone number if you have another phone number in your name. You can also try another way to confirm your identity by clicking Try another way (if provided).
Hope it helps!
