I find it difficult to link my bank account on Paypal

[Emmacoltd]

I want to link my bank account on Paypal but is not working, it keep on telling me to contact customer care which I have done but after following their guiding line I still can't link it, why? What should I do more?

You can't link a local bank account in every country.

You can however in most countries add a U.S bank account (not card) to your paypal account. This is because paypal is a U.S company and allows that option for U.S Paypal account holders working in other countries.

You need to add a credit visa in your country to allow for the receipt of funds and to allow the auto-withdrawal of funds to that card.

But the account I'm trying to link is Geegpay bank account which is a US bank Wells Fargo bank, but is not work. Now if I get a credit visa card can it work to link it with the card? Please tell me the best way to link it because I have some cash there to withdraw, thank you.

 Geegpay bank account is a virtual / digital account which you did not open whilst you were on U.S soil???

You need to add a credit visa card which I have already told you.

Please Don't be offended, if I go into my bank like Zenith Bank or First bank and get visa credit card, I can use it to link on Paypal?
