can I withdraw money from a business paypal account having an unregistered company name?

[ambie11]

I wanted to be paid by my fans on social media, so I set up a paypal business account under my social media name, because I don't want my fans to see my real name (I still gave my real name and address while setting this up, it's just a company name which is not real) I'm going to create a donation link only, so my fans can pay through that link to my paypal business account. Would I be still able to withdraw my money from the paypal business account to my personal bank account, if my company name is not registered and it never will?

Hello @ambie11,

Welcome to our community and thank you for your post!

I am happy to help you with your inquiry here! I would like to inform you that the name registered on your PayPal account must match the name registered on your bank account. This is important because the name that you have listed on your PayPal account is the one used when sending transfer requests to your bank. If the bank account details registered with PayPal do not match the information which your bank has on file, the transactions may be reversed by the bank. You should be having the same name on bank and PayPal so that you can link and withdraw successfully. 

I hope this helps!
