Hello, 

Is there a way to assign a nickname for different bank accounts and credit cards that are linked to the PayPal account?  

 

I searched help and forum first, but found no answers.  Thanks much for any help or advice.

Let me start by saying I love Paypal, especially during the holidays.  It the best place for me to have a list of all the sites I've purchased from and can reconcile with what has been delivered to what I paid for through Paypal.  I also dont't like giving my card information on various random sites with all the news for cyber security and breaches. I also like the notifications  to my phone, becuase some stores don't charge until they ship, and I can better manage my funds with those notifications to know that money is still wiating in my account to be debited.

With that said, 1 suggestion for improvement. I have my checking , credit card, and various debit cards listed as methods of payment,  and will allocate depending on what type of transaction I am doing (business services payment, recurring utility payments, pleasure expense, etc..) It would be great if Paypal let me store a nickname for those methods of payment so I knew which card was which, instead of having to remember which last 4 digits of a card go to which account. 

 

Otherwise keep up the good work Paypal!

Is there a way to add a nickname on the cards, such as "personal", "business" etc so that you can easily see which card you want to use for a transaction?  For tax purposes I need to keep my personal and business transactions and easy to recognize.

Is there a way to "nickname" my debit and credit cards?  It's very confusing to have Visa and Mastercard as the only clue to which card is which account.

I don't see a way to do this, so wondering if the moderators can take this above to the coders but we use multiple cards to pay for purchases (business / personal) but we have to look at our wallet all the time to remember what card is what.  Can you add a nickname or something like that field so we can easily define which card?

This is a basic feature that should be simple to implement!
