Hi @Professionalcam,

The PayPal Prepaid cards available at stores are temporary cards that can only be used for in store transactions. Users of the temporary cards need to verify their identity, and receive a permanent card, before the ability to transfer funds from a PayPal account into the Prepaid account is enabled.

PayPal also offers the Cash debit card. This card is no cost and there are no monthly fees, but it is not available for Business accounts, so a Personal account would be needed. PayPal Cash debit card users obtain direct deposit account and routing numbers directly linked to the PayPal account itself, so no transfers are necessary.

Here is a PayPal link with details on the Cash debit card.

Here is a PayPal link with details on having more than one account.
