On the mobile app, when tapping on the last step of verifying my paypal account which is " link your bank account", an error appears, meaning I can't even start the process.
On Pc however, clicking on "link bank account or credit card" only gives you the option to link a debit card. Going to the wallet as suggested from "Paypal Help Center", there is no sign of a "link bank account" option anywhere.
What can i do ?

The option to add a local bank account is unfortunately not available in every country.
If you go to your wallet and there is only the U.S bank account option present OR a card option then that is all you can add.
The U.S bank option is for U.S citizens working abroad as paypal is a U.S company and allows them to add their bank to other countries paypal accounts. However you can't use a virtual / digital bank like Wise or Payoneer as it has to be a U.S bank opened on U.S soil.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
