UK IBAN numbers vs normal

How can I link a UK bank account with 22 IBAN characters rather than the usual 27, to my Paypal account?

Paypal is country specific so you have to add a bank account from your own country (or the country where your paypal account is registered) to that paypal account.

Here are some of the possible reasons why you couldn't add your bank account to your PayPal account:

• The bank account must be held at a bank in the same country as the PayPal account. In some countries, you can also use a US bank account.
• The name on your bank account must match the name on your PayPal account.
• You cannot link a bank account to more than one PayPal account at a time. Try removing the bank account from the PayPal account it is currently linked to.
• The bank account has already been linked to three PayPal accounts in the past. You cannot link a bank account to more than three PayPal accounts in total.
• The bank account is already active on a PayPal account that has a limitation or negative balance .
• The bank is not compatible with PayPal. This can include most online-only or prepaid bank accounts.
• The deposit amounts you entered to confirm your bank account were not accepted by our system. If amounts are entered incorrectly three times, the bank account will be disabled and removed from the PayPal account. Contact us for assistance in reactivating your bank account in our system.
