Bank account

[RobinNasha]

Hi there. I'm in South Africa and I'm trying to link my bank account to my Paypal but it only has an option for a US bank. How do I solve this since I'm nowhere near America? Thanks

Scroll right down to nearly the bottom of the below link, and read the section titled If you have a Paypal account in South Africa.

The U.S bank account option is there for U.S citizens living or working in other countries. As Paypal is a U.S company they allow those citizens to add their bank account to other countries paypal accounts.
