Hi Paypal SA,

 

Please someone help me with instructions on how to link my Capitec card to my paypal account?

It keeps saying "Your card was declined by the issuing bank. Please try a different card or contact your card issuer with questions."

 

Please help?  Would like to transfer my money into my account.

 

Thank you

Does the name and billing address on card match exactly to what's in your PayPal account? And you must withdraw to your bank account, not to a card.

Hi @sharpiemarker 

 

Yes, the billing address is exactly the same.

Do you think its because there is no money in the account?  It's a new account I just opened and havent transferred any money in as yet.

That could be it too as PayPal needs to confirm the card with a temporary charge of $1.95 or equivalent so you can get the 4-digit PayPal code to enter on the Wallet page for the card.

I think if you tried to increase your online limit on the capitec app then you'll be able to link it
