I can't link my bank account to my paypal, the option to start the process doesn't even appear.

  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.
