I have been unable to link my USD bank account to my PayPal account,what could be the reason,do I need to have funds on my PayPal before I'm able to link or could it be because my bank account doesn't have a middle name as my PayPal account?

There could be various reasons for issues linking your USD bank account to PayPal. It's not necessary to have funds in your PayPal account to link a bank account. Check if your bank account details match the information on your PayPal account, including the absence of a middle name. If issues persist, contacting PayPal customer support for assistance would be advisable.

To contact PayPal customer support and discuss account-specific issues, follow these steps: 1. **Login to Your PayPal Account:** - Log in to your PayPal account on the official website. 2. **Help & Contact Section:** - Once logged in, navigate to the "Help & Contact" section. You can usually find this in the upper right corner or in the main menu. 3. **Contact Customer Support:** - In the "Help & Contact" section, look for options to contact PayPal customer support. This might be through a chat, email, or phone support. 4. **Chat Support (If Available):** - PayPal often provides a chat option for customer support. If available, choose the chat option to communicate with a representative in real-time. 5. **Email Support:** - If chat is not available or suitable, there should be an option to send an email or submit a request. Provide a detailed explanation of your issue and include any relevant information. 6. **Call PayPal Customer Support:** - If you prefer to speak with someone directly, check for a customer support phone number. Keep in mind that the availability of phone support may vary based on your location. 7. **Resolution Center Note:** - If you find yourself in the Resolution Center, it's possible that PayPal wants you to address a specific issue or provide additional information before contacting support. Follow any instructions provided in the Resolution Center, and if needed, use the information gained there when reaching out to customer support. Remember not to use any third-party contact information for PayPal support, as it may be a phishing attempt. Always use official channels provided on the PayPal website. If you are unable to find suitable contact options within your account, you can also check the official PayPal Help Center for additional guidance on how to contact customer support.

In your country you can only add a U.S bank account that has been opened in the U.S.

That option is for U.S citizens who if they are working abroad can add their bank account to other countries paypal accounts as paypal is a U.S company.

 

However you cannot add a USD currency account OR a digital/ virtual account like Wise or Payoneer.
