Can I get a direct deposit when the check comes in a different first name?

[WVHilljack]

My check comes in my legal first name, but my pay pal account is in my middle name because that's what I go by. Will I be able to receive direct deposits when my check comes in a different first name than on my Pay Pal account?

Hello @WVHilljack,

Thank you for joining our community forum!

I am happy to help you with your inquiry about direct deposits in PayPal. Direct Deposit enables you to receive a portion or all of your paycheck or government payment automatically into your PayPal balance. If the wrong account information was used to set up direct deposit , it should result in rejection to the employer, All information about direct deposits can be found here. 

I hope this information helps!
